This is my 1964 Squareback. It's relatively stock except for being lowered, 12v conversion and the Empi 5 spoke wheels. I have recently added a Scat shifter and an antenna ball too. This is my first car and i got it 2 months after my 16th birthday. Since i got it, i have played with it and had most everything to bits. It is a VW1500 but it now has a 1600sp in it and the single carby. In this pic the car hadn't been washed for 3 months. This car is one rough lil unit. Whattya Reckon?

I like it Sik,
It sits nice, and I love a stock looking car lowered with nice wheels and a decent engine...
What are your plans for the future with it??

Hey Clint,
I don't really have any plans. Ill take it as it comes. About all i wanna do right now is get some centre caps, replace the cluthch and rear main seal cos the clutch is shagged and the car leaks oil like a seive. I also have to replace the right rear wheel bearing. Other than that we're laughin'.

Empi, will see it in the flesh when i get it back together and have time to take it somewhere. Jeza, What more could i want? Is a bit of reliability too much to ask?

Yeah fair enough...
I know the feeling well, one day I promise myself I 'll be able to hop in start it up and drive off, no matter how far... (ie down the road or up country) without that dreaded "how far will I get this time/ what will need attention along the way" feeling.
Then again I might get board of the trips then too 馃榾

Yep, nice rig. The next thing to do is to try to get this guy, who lives in the same town as me, to come to even HALF the events I go to and we'll be rockin!! 馃榾

One thing I have learnt whilst on here.. Sales usually go by favoritism or via 'the quick or the dead' routine..
I have lost the chance to own a set of rims like the ones above via the same ways mentioned..
Anyway, uhh.... Nice car mate! :P

Im in the process of getting a set of 5 spokes from the states save a fortune compared to flat 4 BRMs from QLD also throw in some other cheap goodies.As for luck ..It always comes down to your buying power.

Yep, the wheels were from the trading post. Didn't know that i cut someones lunch but all the surfie lookin guy told me was that someone had looked at them and decided not to get em. I still need centre caps but it looks like i have found some so should be sweet. Jim, the last time i tried to take the square to an event it died 2km into the trip, im pretty sure your car didnt make it either??? But yeah, im pretty slack mate. I just wanna get it back in one piece.
