The Bunny Truck® should be coming home next week, as long as I can get it started and running reasonably well after 6 months of sitting.
In the mean while, other vehicle changes. The '72 911T has been sold and was picked up by the transporter earlier today. On its way to Seattle. I picked up its far more modern replacement last week. Son-of-914 - mid-engine 4 cylinder Porsche - 2018 718 Cayman. Whole lot of fun! |

I had a Rabbit truck that I commuted to work in for a number of years.
Great little vehicle that I converted to Euro look on the front. It saw me through so many situations, a real workhorse. |

There's a diesel Rabbit pickup on BaT right now. Not affiliated. Sounds like there is not much power in that diesel version.

I've had a few myself, even considered getting another one. Back in high school, a friend had a turbo diesel Sport Truck, it was surprisingly quick, I converted a diesel to GTI specs back in the 80’s.
Had a few diesels later, slow but got great mileage. I still have a factory VW bed cover and Kamei hood scoop. Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

The truck finally came home from the paint shop yesterday, and reassembly has begun in earnest. It is still loud, still quick, but now is a whole lot better looking!

So are those pre-cut stick-on letters for the "Volkswagen"? Or are you an excellent painter/graphics person? Looks fantastic. Might have to start my own post-teener thread. I've got a "doozy." Letters were precut. I'm not that good on my own. I've seen the Lancia picture before, in my "Dark Side" thread on ESR... |

The exterior is pretty much done. Working on the interior now, then will clean up under the hood.

Very cool! Sure turned out looking great! I agree with others, looks like a factory edition.

Interior is finished now. I've been driving it a bit now, just because. Will be doing some cleaning and detailing under the hood next. And that will about do it.
