House of Tune/True Driving Rabbit Project Update

Yet again, it’s been a while since I’ve updated my Rabbit build. I really am caught up with a bunch of projects, but March will be all about the Rabbit. So last time the motor was in and various parts were going in, including the wire harness, but I still needed a bunch of parts. I wen’t scouring on Vortex and found a crashed 16v Scirocco, so I jumped on it. It proved to be the best thing I could’ve done, because I needed more parts then I thought. With the Scirocco I really should have the car running in a couple weeks. The last time working on the car, we basically swapped a bunch of the engine parts into the Rabbit. The next update should be big so stay tuned!

Vintage Racing

I have always had a huge love for vintage european and japanese cars. To be honest I just haven’t had the funding the build one, but times are changing and I am currently building a ’75 Volkswagen Rabbit and plan on my next project to be a vintage japanese car. There is just something about them that encompass so much character and soul. It’s a beautiful thing. I came across this picture and fell in love with it. These are two cars I would LOVE to own. Even better, that they are racing, like they should. I would love to bring something like this to the states. One step at a time.

 

Rabbit Inspiration

I’ve shown my GTI on here before, but I also own a 75 rabbit that I plan on doing a full restoration build on. I have been following the Green Rabbit build thread on vwvortex from it’s beginning and learned a lot from his own trial and error. His build also gave a lot of inspiration as he build the car himself. The car had various looks, including air ride, but this is by far my favorite is my favorite stage of his car. Static drop, 16v on ITB’s, and very sexy BBS Motorsports wheels. Mucho props to the owner.
