My custom '62 Squareback - new pics

ColonyVW · 2011-10-24T13:26:41+00:00

Hi all, New on here but thought I would share some pics & info on my custom '62 Squareback. It's LHD & orginally came from Sweden & was bought to the UK then restored to how you see it today by Chris Palomba. It won numerous awards over there & I am lucky enough to now call it mine. I imported from the UK early 2010 & enjoy cruising in it every spare sunny day I can. I just love it. I am not capable of such amazing restoration work & nor do I pretend to. I just love early Squareback's. I used to own a '73 Squareback from about 1997 till 2001 & always wanted to get a VW again. Very happy with my purchase. Here are some specs on it below... Complete off the chassis re-build, every nut and bolt replaced and renewed. Big Performance 2017cc American turn-key engine with twin 441dfs with electronic ignition - 121bhp and 128lb/ft torque. Pro-Flyer gearbox with welded gears and rhino mounts. House of Colour paintwork - 20 layers from bare metal. Full/detailed leather interior (5 cow hides used). Boyd Coddington wheels. Disc brake conversion - front and rear. Torque bar. Full flow oil cooler with manual fan. 6 inch narrowed beam with drop spindles (at it's highest in pics). Short shaft conversion on rear. New wiring loom. Bottom inner 12 inches - '3M' rubberised during re-build. 1000 watt amp with 6x9 speakers - ipod and computer connections. Thanks & hope you like it. ...and what it looked like before Chris got his hands on it.

Both cars are amazing!

The square that Foxy built is by far one of my all time favourites!
I hope to see it in the flesh one day, well done mate 🙂

Cheers, Rhett.

Gave the '62 a good wash today & thought should get some photos in the backyard.

Got a couple with the panel as well.
