I'm looking for a vw rabbit that runs, drives and is really cheap. I'm going to use it to plow my driveway and lot so nothing else really matters. Doesn't need a title, doesn't need to look good but it would be nice if it had a heater!

Since this is a cheap cheap cheap thing Ohio NW Indiana SE michigan area. Thanks!

Easy enough, google snoway rabbit plow. I have found three still in use and snoway said around 75 were made in 78/79. Mine was from a vw dealership which used it from 81 to 96 to clear the lots then the owners driveway till 2002 on a rabbit truck.

This truck was rusted in half so I removed the plow set up and parted it.

I didn't take pics of the installed plow but as you can see it uses a lift kit in the front. Here is the plow and brackets laid out

Ha, you should have bought my white diesel truck. Guy who bought it basically parked it in the garage and doesn't ever drive it.

Yea I should have, didn't have the money at the time. If the Saab I am looking at doesn't pan out I may start looking for Rabbits again.
