| The Grill, and Front end Treatment |
| So I went from this... |
| To This! |
| But something was still missing... My original VW Rabbit has received fog lights along the way, followed by some of those deer wistles. So in the end it will look a little more like this. |
| Only without the black bumper, or bumper stops. The Resto Rabbit will have a chrome bumper, with no stops. Next it was time to toss the old lights, and put in some 9003 Upgrades. |
| Thank the Light gods for these... I found them on a 81 Rabbit at the junk yard! But, I had to protect these jewels, so I found a used set of these to go with them... |
| This Is the final result. My 1979 USA GTI Front End |
Now that I had settled on the front end look, I focused on the side. For the side markers, I gave my Rabbit the same treatment. I painted the chrome trim red. |
| Now A lot of folks are into the early round headlight look, but thats not me.... I Like the Early Westy look. Square headlights, blinkers in the grill. So the car already had what I liked. But a few things were missing. So I removed the grill, and painted the chrome trim Red to match the GTI Spec car I wanted. |
