    1981 Rabbit should I buy it?

    I found an 81 gas rabbit. It Doesn't run and hasn't ran in a while. There's 95lbs of compression and he said it turns over but doesn't spark. There are two small spots of rot, one about 2" on the passenger side a pillar and some under the rear passenger side fender. He has another head, and a few more parts. I can probably get it for under $400. I was wondering what you guys would think it would take to get running and how much it would be to get there. Thanks!

    3/4 of the fuel system isn't there the CIS Distributor and the injector lines........Just walk away. The "A" pillar rust is also an issue.
    What do Divorces, Great Coffee and Cars all have in common?
    They all Start with good GROUNDS.
    Replace all of them that you can, 99 percent of flakiness will disappear.
