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.

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.

Still picking away at the interior, slowly. I keep getting distracted by the replacement for my former '72 911T.

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.
