Re: Arthur's 1983 vw rabbit gl build

Forgot about this thread for a bit.

Got the shifting and everything fixed. It wasnt a blown motor mount. I ordered a bushing kit , and rotated the shifter rod to the spine'ed insert and I eventually got all the gears back.

The camera made it look brown , but it is black.

Re: Arthur's 1983 vw rabbit gl build

Got the old exhaust off the parts car until I'm ready for new everything from the headers back. Not in the picture but I was given a new CC and tip. I had to grid the old off, it rusted as one part where the factory U clamp was.
