Nice silver Rabbit. What kind of sunroof is that? (I want one for my '91 Jetta. )

Not sure what brand the sunroof is I bought it off craigslist. That is somthing I wouldnt do again. It leaks.

still working on the truck here are a few more pics. kp.jpg[/IMG]IMG]

Looks like you're coming along nicely.

I'll have to admit when I first saw the title of the post and I checked the date (April 1st), I thought it smelled a little fishy . But it looks like a pretty ambitious project. Good job.

That would have been a great April fools joke>>. It has been a big project but very fun. I have to watch how much time I spend in the garage or the wife get a little upset if i am out there to much. I am sure you guys know what I am talking about.

now's the time to put in solid steel mud flaps and flares behind those rear tires....

I will be painting this weekend I will try to show some pics.

The new paint camr out great!!!

So did the bodywork! Looks great

I'm impressed! Reminds me of my old one (same color) but your paint is nicer

This has been a big project it was fun but I will never try this again. I had a lot of time tied up out in the garage and I used a lot of vacation days from work. I do have damn good bragging rights now that I cut the two of them and welded back together. The truck did come out nice, you can't tell it was welded.

I would love to see someone make a crew cab pickup. I'm not saying that you should have or anything like that, but it would be a unique vehicle when it's done. Though to properly finish the inside it would take some custom interior work to get the area behind the rear doors to look nice. I can do mechanical work, but can't seem to get things right when trying to do bodywork. To me, the work you can do on the body of a car is pure art. Well done!

I agree..Well done. But your comment of making a crew cab has allot of merit. All I think needed would be a 2 door for parts and use the windows from a toyota or nissan crew cab with about 3-4 inches of the surrounding metal around them. I think the rest of the sheet metal could be scavenged from the 2 door rabbit.
Looks great.

A few more pic I found on my welded truck
