My son who is stationed in Gulf port MS with NMCB1 found this old 82 rabbit pickup down there this summer. While we were on vacation from Michigan we stopped in to see him and looked over the truck, he was thinking of flipping it but this thing is in such nice shape (rust wise) I am heading down there to trailer it back next Friday. He has just over a year left with the Navy so we are going to do a full restro when he gets back home next year.
I'm starting to collect some parts, its a gas engine, (wish it was a diesel) I have a nice 1.8 16v motor to install in it. Should be a nice project, don't see too many of these around, maybe because they were so ugly, lol
