Amazing 1982 Rabbit Convertible.
Fully restored 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit, with extras, such as new top, new headliner and pad, tires, front and rear disc brakes, interior carpet, new fabric seats (not seat covers).
Mechanical:
It has been restored mechanically and electrically by Foreign Aid Albuquerque NM. The engine was replaced with a new Audi 2.O high compression motor costs $7500.00, along with a new transmission and clutch. New front suspension struts and new custom exhaust.
Interior:
The front and rear vinyl seats have been replaced with fabric seats (black tweed) The front and rear windows seals are new.
The car was painted shortly after the engine/transmission rebuild and at that time I replaced the rubber molding around the fenders at paint time also, with original German rubber moldings. I also replaced the from and rear windows at paint time and the rubber seals around the front and rear windows. The new canvas top went on after the paint job was complete, along with a new head-liner, and pad inside the convertible top.
The dash cluster was rebuilt and there are no cracks in the dash. I’ve replaced the factory stereo with a better new unit. The Factory A/C was disconnected due to the larger radiator installed for the motor. I replaced the original factory bumper assemblies for Euro bumpers for lighter weight. (will include the factory bumpers with the sale) Paint: It’s had one repaint and was stripped to bare metal before the factory color was re-applied with a clear coat. There is no rust on the vehicle anywhere ! Including the Dyno of the car to show its power.
The Bad: · has a few road chips (its not a garage queen) · a golf ball hit the front valance one day, slight ding · A/C disconnected · Some of the plastic seat moldings are missing.

Volkswagen planning Up! hybrid model using XL1 powertrain
Sun, 24 Feb 2013Even though we've finally gotten a look at the production version of the 261-mile per gallon Volkswagen XL1, this aero-shaped two-seater was never intended for high-volume sales. Fortunately, it sounds like the same isn't true for the car's diesel plug-in hybrid powertrain, which, according to a report from AutoCar, could make its way under the hood of another Volkswagen model: the Up! minicar (shown above).
A potential Up! Hybrid would likely be able to return some of the same impressive fuel economy numbers as the XL1, but it would be a more realistic car with more passenger space and greater production capacity. The hand-built XL1 will use a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder TDI engine paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the 27-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery helps deliver an all-electric driving range of 31 miles.
One of the core pillars of the XL1's design is its lightweight construction with a 1752-pound curb weight, which makes the Up! a perfect recipient for using this powertrain since it weighs just 300 pounds more. The report says that the Up! Hybrid is still in the developmental phase, so a production version isn't expected for at least another 18 months.

Fri, 26 Apr 2013The 911 Of Hot Hatches Takes The Compact Game To New Levels
North American car buyers get a bit of a slap in the face when it comes to delivery schedules for new the Volkswagen Golf and pumped-up GTI models. We'll just repeat the old chestnut: It's worth the wait... even though it still stinks. This time around, Western Europe is taking deliveries of the new Golf as we speak, and GTI deliveries start between May and July. North America doesn't get the Mk7 Golf or GTI until about July of 2014.
So we approached our first drive of the new GTI with this chip on our shoulder: "You're making us wait? Well, then at least give us the exact car we'll be able to buy. No compromises, mein freund." And so it was that we extracted nearly all of our drive impressions from behind the wheel of what, for the United States, will technically be a model year 2015 two-door Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance with the standard six-speed manual.
