Car in question is a 1984 Rabbit Turbo diesel, and yes its an original TD. I bought it a while back and drove it from Ontario to BC where i am now located. Reason for sale is i have spent more money on this car than i wanted and its at the point where i dont want to spend anymore. Car was recently involved in a slight "fender bender" where there was some slight damage to the front end. I was going to restore it as it is a solid rare car but where im living i dont have the space or equipment to do so. Anyways here are the details.

The car is solid. The front end will need some repair if you want to restore it. I started fixing it, but i dont have the space to do so. The body on it otherwise is pretty good. I fixed the drivers side floor with sheet metal as a temporary way to get it to pass the BC inspection. There is a bit of rust on the underbody but for the mostpart its pretty decent for an ontario car. The strut towers are rust free. The windshield frame is pretty much rust free. To get the car running it will need a starter motor, as the old one decided to kick the bucket. Other than that it runs great. I have nothing to hide, i pretty much been through most of this car inside out and if you have any questions about anything feel free to ask.
Im sure i left some stuff out, I also have some nice thule roof racks and a thule box that i could negotiate into the deal if i get what im looking for pricewise. I also have some other parts laying around that i can throw in.
As for pictures, here are some from this summer, the only thing different about the car now is that it has a black hood, the grill is cracked and it needs some work on the front corner. The front bumper was damaged and im working on repairing that. pics of its current state will be posted tommorow.
thanks for looking. I have no problem delivering the car within reason as it is still plated and insured. If your interested send me a pm or email me at
[email protected]EDIT: forgot to add it also has a brand new fuel tank and the car doesnt come with the shift knob. It will be rolling on the BBS wheels. I will be replacing the starter motor as well.
Im located in Cloverdale, BC.
if the car doesnt sell it will eventually get parted out.
$2200 obo
