My original 1983 Rabbit GTI (owned 1983-1987)
The exterior will be 100% OEM stock looking. I have sourced new OEM GTI badges and moldings all around and it should look show room new when this car hits the road. I will convert my garage to a top-notch paint booth and will personally perform a full concurs paint prep, spray, wet sand, etc. process to create a perfect, orange-peel free result (similar to my 67 Chevelle prep/paint job which cost me close to $20,000 15 years ago ...)
