This is a short video that I made a while back of my 78 vw rabbit. It was suppose to be a small clip to remember the beast. In a way I'm glad I got rid of the car. Too much hidden rust issues. I paid way too much for it but got my funds back. I wish I would have done a better job restoring the car. I simply painted over the rust expecting that the rust wouldn't kill the car. Then sold it. It started off being silver, then blue (outside only) water blisters and pit corrosion everywhere under the paint, then silver sray can to cover the pitting corrosion, then cheap brown, almost transparent. The inside was just as bad. The mounting points on the rear are bad too. Finally, it had a small electrical fire too. Too bad, it would cost a mini fortune to get the car done right. I think the car is in Vancouver somewhere. I've seen it on www.vwvortex.com several times. The car is vw brown now with schmidt wheels.
