Volkswagen: Rabbit Diesel Vw 1981 Great Condition on 2040-cars

I'm selling a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit diesel that has been my daily driver for 2.5 years.  I've moved to DC and will be sharing a car due to limited parking so I'm getting rid of this one.  The car is in great shape, and I've done a lot of work to it to keep it reliable and running well. There is very minimal surface rust as shown in the pictures. The underneath is very solid. The interior is in great condition--see the pictures. The tires have plenty of tread left on them. It gets 45mpg consistently. The odometer, temp guage, and AC does not work but that's common for these older rabbits. I the things that I've done include but are not limited to:

Rebuilt fuel injection pump (This was $1100. I have receipts to show)
Struts and springs all around
Alternator 
Starter 
Battery
4 point lower stress bar that really helped stability (go to techtonicstuning[dot]com/main/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_11_6&products_id=2217) 
Rotary vacuum pump from a later model Jetta.  This is a major upgrade for the vacuum system and breaking. 
Timing belt
Glow Plugs
Sound deadening material
Modern speakers and radio
Shifter bushings
Coolant hoses
Front brake rotors and pads
Coolant heater for cold weather starts (I had this installed during this past winter. It plugs into a regular outlet when it gets cold out and works like a charm. It started with no problem when it dipped into the 20's. It was $160 and I have receipts to show).
Oil pan gasket
Valve cover gasket

The car is currently in Washington, DC but I'm willing to arrange pickups in either Williamsburg, Va or Harrisonburg, Va for a small fee.  Please contact beforehand. 

Thanks and happy bidding!

1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.

VW Super Bowl teaser with Jimmy Cliff is like a less-mean Tosh.0 Web Redemption

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Reggae super-duper-star and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jimmy Cliff has been using music to send positive vibes out into the universe for decades now, so its no surprise that his message on behalf of Volkswagen is one of redemption.
Dubbed Sunny Side, this web-spot is VW's warmup of sorts for what promises to be another blockbuster year in the world of Super Bowl commercials. Without giving away the game, the euphonious commercial sees Cliff opening his arms and his heart to some YouTube 'celebrities' that might see courser treatment from the likes of Tosh.0, for instance. We can't help but be reminded of Coca-Cola's legendary 1971 Hilltop spot with the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" lyric, too.
Enjoy the pre-Super Bowl VW spot below, and don't forget to pay it forward... your karma will thank you. For those of you that just can't get enough of commercial-making magic, we've included a "making-of" video, as well.
