If anyone has any advice or suggestions about what I could do with this car please let me know. Remember I am fairly new to VW's and I dont know exactly what I want yet.
My advice? Don't do a thing to it!!! Well, suspension and wheels are okay, because you can change that stuff back fairly easily. But if I were you, I wouldn't rip it apart for a 1.8T swap or anything like that. Clean, unmolested, rust-free stock Rabbit GTIs are becoming very difficult to find, and it kills me every time I see another nice one hacked up. If you want a major project (engine swap, body mods, etc etc) I would suggest buying a shell or a car that is not in quite as nice condition to use as a base (you could also use a non-GTI Rabbit as a base if you're going to swap everything out anyway).
