Default 80 rabbit

i personally have an 80 model rabbit and it had been setting for 5 years with stale gas. so i bought it pulled it to my house tried the key and it fired up. I was impressed. I then went through and drained the tank checked the plugs which were still the originals(which impressed me even more) but i changed those and the wires and oil and she runs as good as a 2000 model. The biggest thing is to check on the parts on the motor if you go that old and make sure it's all western germany cause the eastern had issues. it was the berlin wall days and east germany just wanted something in the market from their side. These are amazing cars and hardly even die. To be honest the car may just outlive you.
