In the latest episode of Rich Rebuilds, the man himself, Rich Rebuilds, is back with an update on his Turbo Hayabusa hybrid swapped Volkswagen Rabbit pickup truck build. And let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, this build is a mouthful to say, but it's also a sight to behold. In the rear of the truck, there's a turbocharged Hayabusa engine, while up front, there's an electric motor and battery setup. It's a wild combination that promises some serious power.
Now, in the previous episode, Rich and his team were facing some challenges with the Hayabusa engine starting and running properly. But fear not, my friends, because they have conquered those issues and the engine is now roaring to life. It not only starts, but it runs and drives like a dream. It's been a long and arduous journey, but they are finally back on track.
But that's not all, folks. In addition to the Rabbit build, Rich gives us an update on Smokey, the electric side-by-side. They have installed a fully built front differential and have been testing out the new all-wheel drive drivetrain. Let me tell you, the launches on the street are something to behold. This thing has some serious power and traction.
And as if that wasn't enough excitement for one episode, Rich also announces that the Sprinter van they built for their homeless assistant Linda is now up for sale. It's a fully equipped van with all the necessities for comfortable living, including heat, hot water, a stove, solar panels, and lithium batteries. And the best part? It's being offered at the incredibly low price of $25,000. Trust me, my friends, that's a steal compared to what those other knuckleheads are charging for the same thing.
So there you have it, folks. Rich Rebuilds is back in action with the Turbo Hayabusa hybrid swapped Volkswagen Rabbit pickup truck build. They've overcome the engine issues and are now making progress on tying up loose ends. Plus, they've got some exciting updates on Smokey and the Sprinter van. It's a rollercoaster of a ride, but one thing's for sure - Rich and his team know how to deliver the thrills.
