1981 Volkswagen Rabbit Convertible Description

This is a solid 1981 VW Rabbit Convertible auto trans with 78k original miles. It runs and drives well, but I have not driven it much this year.
The top is in great shape. The interior is quite nice for the year as well, but could use a good cleaning. The exterior looks good, but it has had a paint job and some body work that wasn't the greatest in the past (like an Earl Scheib job). The lights, turn signals, radio, heater all work well. The tires are good but three of the four will lose air over time (several weeks). The car has been in storage over the winter but it will start and drive right now. The brake pedal seems low to me, but I'm no VW expert, the brakes work well when driving though.
The following parts are new within this year:
steering rack
ball joints
front struts
strut mounts
front engine mount
valve cover gasket
spark plugs
spark plug wires
distributor cap & rotor
fuel filter
air filter
head lights
trunk lift strut
brake lines from master cylinder to the rear
rear brake shoes
rear brake wheel cylinders
rear wheel bearings & races
battery is new in the last three years
This is a nice little convertible toy to have fun with in the good weather. I do not think it has been driven much in the salt, the underneath is very solid.
