This is going to be a pain to replace...

Of all the windows!

I've got one here for you. Still a pain to replace! Dave

Petey ·

Hey David, thanks!
I think I'm going to garage it for a little bit and maybe use this as an excuse to fix up my headlining and a few other bits that I've been avoiding getting around to. I'll pm you soon.

Did I see you today going down Victoria st? I was on a Vespa at Brunswick st!

Beastieboy ·

Did they take anything? I didn't notice the window when you went past!

Petey ·

Hey BeastieBoy, yeah that was probably me, I cruised up to mates place around 1. I was probably on a bit of a mission.
Yeah they took a motorbike helmet that was in the back and busted the side and hatch door locks 😬

Beastieboy ·

Mofos. Where did it happen?
See you around here quite a bit. Usually near the fire station in east melb.
First time I spotted you was middle park I think near st kilda.
One of my fave type 3's.

Hope you can find a pop out easy enough.
If not maybe try Volkscourt in thomastown. 🙂

Ahh thanks man! Yeah i was living out in middle park for a while, but the other night I was staying at a friends in East Melbourne when it happened. I just have to remember not to leave anything visible in there next time. I'm gonna do a little work on it now anyway and clean it up a bit so it should hit the road super shiny next time.

There was a cool red squareback out in middle park way i used to drive past. Always good when you spot another one 🙂

Just purchased a mint '65 square, can't wait to get it home!

I posted a photo of your square once on instagram (when I saw it in middle park) and somebody commented and said 'wow, that was our actual wedding car!" 🙂

Petey ·

Ha!
Yeah the person I bought it from got in touch again last year and asked if she could use it for her wedding. So I cleaned it all up and lent it to them.
(Guess it could have been someone else's wedding car too 🙂)

Have you posted any pics of your new square? It'd be cool to check out!

Beastieboy ·

No pics yet. Will do as soon as we get it home.
Just trying to sort out transport. It's only two hours away and best quite so far is $500.

Hey I've had a chance to get back to work on the Veedub and I can't for the life of me get the rear door open : / the guy who's tried to broke in has totally busted the rear lock and it won't open and I can't seem to get to it from inside.
Any ideas how I could get this open?

Petey ·

Cancel that! I got it, looks like there was a hole in the top for opening it.
