Another Quickie for Saturday, Jan 8, 2011 - A Fully Restored 1980 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel

1980 Volkswagen Rabbit Diesel - How cool is this? This guy did a full restoration on a 1980 VW Rabbit Diesel 4 door.

The seller calls it a "weekend project that turned into an obsession". He's spent over $9000.00 in parts alone, choosing to use new parts instead of rebuilt or used parts.

The VW diesel engine puts out a whopping 48 HP, which makes this one incredibly slow car. They are however, very fuel efficient and durable.

This is not the first car most people would think about restoring. It's great to see someone putting the time, money and effort into a car like this.

Located in Gainesville, FL, click here to see the eBay listing. (Which has a lot of good, clear pictures.)

Another big thanks to JaCG reader, Mike, for sending me the link to this car.
