In addition to a bock heater, I installed a battery warmer, and plugged them both into a timer. They are available from JC Whitney or maybe your local farm store.

Thanks for the response. I was able to get one from a guy on the Vortex.

Yes, my housings have inside threads. Thanks for pointing this out, Fatmobile.

I am in need of a front strut housing for my '82 Rabbit. I believe they are the same left or right, but in case they're not, I need the left side.

I don't need the shock insert or spring, just the strut housing. Please PM me if you can help.

Thanks
