My Squareback update 8/9

GASBNR · 2006-06-27T08:39:55+00:00

Here's a few pics of my project, with the help of my mate Mark JNR 356 WE CAN REBUILD THE THING. Its a 65 we think has late running "best of both worlds" IRS, 1600 t/p and discs up front. The colour will be the original BIRCH green, got love that light green. The KG is a similar colour under that red.

PS....I'm sure you've done your research, but according to Samba tech, birch was only offered until mid '64 (pre august), so I wonder if your car is even earlier than expected? damn fine colour, I remember a square that got around the elwood area which was 2 tone birch and dark green. It was at DOVW a few years ago next to Aldo's then-patchwork panelled square.

The square is another 4pm Clayton special, its a 64 build first reg 65 and dosen't have a push button dash SHAME!
Bails,
I don't know if I'll keep it, I really want to get the KG on the road and drive it daily, and with the 2332cc going it I really want to have some fun.

After all josh's work painting the square, Mark has started putting it back together.
The car is having the new TMI headliner put in at the trimmers,
and dash has had some light refurbishment, didn't have any cracks.
The 1600 T/P is being rebuilt and has been painted powered coated and all new clutch etc fitted.
Have had a few moments, ie when the trimmer rang to say the headliner was for a coupe LOL now wasn't funny at the time.
All going to plan should have it back in the barn this weekend,
Now back on to ISPWEST to get some more bits.

Thanks for the words guys, but its HERTZ AND JNR 356 who are putting in the hard yards

Mark has been flat out whlie I have been trying to find the missing bits, usually the hardest type3 stuff to find, like the squareback only rear veiw mirror,
Baily channels round the windows have been a
real @#$%er, but hope to have the right ones by the weekend,
And waiting on ISPWEST to get my order to me!
