Zoc's '69 Squareback.

zocstar · 2010-05-30T12:18:51+00:00

So 3 weeks back i bought my first VW. I saw it on here and decided to give the guy a deposit over the phone after a short chat and based on that he posted. So this is it. some of you might have seen it. Well i was excited and also thinking this could be the dumbest thing, buying a car without seeing it first. We started to strip her back and it looks like fred flintstone's car, drivers floor and battery section very rusty, and the left sill even worse, 🙁 a bit disappointing since the seller said no rust in the floor.???. I cut the floor out and put a new piece in today so im happy with that but still have the sill and then on to the things i knew that needed fixin. oh well it gunna need a bit more work but it will be worth it, here are a few pix.

Hmm, I believe there should be an air filter on there. You might wonna double check that.

Seems to be coming along nicely though 🙂

that apron looks a bit bashed. Pays to have it panel beaten before painting. 😀

Well you shouldn't look at any more pix of my car.
The new paint job ( that cost $100) brought out all the hail damage creases dings bumps and lumps.
Well he did all the rust repairs for FREE. and then offered to paint it if I buy the paint and rub it back. So I took the offer.

If I had the 5ish grand(or whatever) to do the job so it would be a show car..... I still wouldn't do it.

It's looking really good. Making me feel bad that I haven't done the same to mine.
