1982 VolksWagen Rabbit Convertible

[VisiV]

I have an '81 Rabbit Convertible, I bought it last June for $500. I have been driving it since then. Of course it had its share of problems, so it took some work, but now it is down and out of commission. Due to a blown head gasket. The reason it blew, is because the Head was warped, so i took it in to be machined down. But my question isn't about that, I have an uncle who is the self proclaimed (and proclaimed by others here in Kansas) as the "bunny dr." So as far as mechanical is concerned I am covered. My question is, where do i find good parts for the body, rag tops, interior, etc...?

here is my VW.



yes it is being worked on.

there are companies that sell brand new tops for our bunnies on ebay.. check them out, but make sure they are the ones for more than 200. the ones with the wire insert ribbing. these are more original and stronger

good luck
