If it was $800-$900 Cheaper and I had a garage, I might have dragged it home and attempted to save it. I don't want an MKI TD Rabbit That bad... :lol:

I was in touch to buy it from the guy a couple of months back but i figure that it would take some time to get it up to par and i did not have the space for it. I sort of let it go. The motor definitely needs a good rebuilding and also it is not an original td but a rabbit with an 84 jetta td added.

I am going to say it's a Bradley GT, Air Cooled VW based Kit Car.

interesting that they went throught the trouble of mounting the fuel filter on the firewall instead of using the existing one on the strut housing. lot of work for a TD conversion on an already existing diesel rabbit.

could be an attempt at pre-heating the fuel in a cold climate... but just a guess.

Kinda looks close to the "coyote" from Hardcastle and McCormick (Manta Montage Kit car)

...or the original car it was modelled after....but I'm sure it's a kit car.
