Yes, it is possible to do regular maintenance on Rabbits without a 
great deal of special tools.  The most important tool you need to
work on any Rabbit is a book called "How to keep your VW Rabbit 
Alive".  I can't remember the author but just call around to VW
shops and mention the name John Muir ( I think he wrote part of it
but I'm not sure; actually I think he's dead now ).  It has
BIG pictures, lots of EASY step-by-step procedures, and a good
deal of humor.  It tells you what maintenance to do after every
N miles or days.  I've managed to keep my '75 Rabbit going for
over 101,000 miles without major problems by using this book.
I'm sure it will last another 90,000 miles.
