Greetings everyone. I am a Rabbit owner "incognito"....well, at least for the past 36 years anyway. Bought my 82 new, and put 160,000 on it prior to the engine running away (insert joke here)
That happened in 1996, and I put it in my shed. In 1999, I put it in my new heated garage, and it's been there hibernating ever since. I have started it up once or twice in that time, but never drove it. Today, as I approach retirement, I am making plans to do an entire rebuild on the car, and put it back on the road..........for the hell of it!
Who can throw me some advice, recommend vendors for anything and everything between the two bumpers? Quality re-builders close to Ohio for the engine, or for that matter, a trade up to a 1.9 turbo?
