They were found on base model rabbits. I forget the year range but I had a 76 with one

My 82 with the external latch is an LS. Wasn't the base model an L?

my rabbit is an LX, or was at one point.. and thats kinda far from a base model. the base model is C, and my 1980 rabbit C has internal latch.

What kind of shape is you parts bunny's grill in, I have some cracks in mine.

It's nearly perfect, I think it's got a crack under one of the headlights, can't remember exactly though. It also has that grey stuff on it that drips off the cottonwoods so it would need a good scrub..........
'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

I was stationed at Ft Wainwright from 92-95. I remember that stuff. My have been from the pine trees as well. Too far to ship for another one with cracks. Thanks anyway.
