Default My past ride from the 90s a 79 Wabbit Diesel

Here is a small pic of my 79 Diesel Wabbit,I had it for like 8 months then a wild pizza driver stole a STOP sign n hit my rear end on passenger side..that was the end of it..was gonna fix body damage but found out the engine got shifted around and head gasket was blown..so i ended up taking it to a non diesel repair shop..wasnt me that sent it there..and they 'Fixed' it and went to get it it and it overheated..Long story short kinda 2nd hand car dealership didnt wanna help me so i parted it out,bought another 78 Diesel Rabbit drove it til its timing belt went out...and then i parted it out and chopped both up and got like $25 for scrap weight lol..Total loss for both cars just under $1000 since i sold bout $600 worth parts

wow. that's awesome...haha...except two less MK1s on the road. But Kudos for parting them out and then scrapping the metal... that's smart.
