This may seem an odd post when I have a Squareback already and have a build thread going on here.
However, the deeper I get into it, the more work and more rust and repairs I find need doing.
At the moment I'm wondering if it's all going to be worth it and if maybe I should start looking for something that's in decent condition already and I can buy and get out there and enjoy immediately.

If anybody knows of a decent early squareback or possibly even fastback, which has already had some work done to it, then I'd been keen to hear from you. If I'm going to spend a few bucks, I'd prefer for it to be an early model.
I'd travel interstate for the right car too. Or at least have it transported.

I'm not after perfect - I can't afford perfect. I'm still happy to do some work, but I'd love something that I can get in and enjoy right away. Maybe being a bit impatient since it's summer! If nothing decent shows up, that's ok, i'll keep plugging away at my project. Then I might have a car ready for next summer.

I've seen all the ones on Gumtree, ebay, forums, etc that are for sale. If you know of something else that's out there, let me know.

Cheers.
Adam

Still interested if there's any out there!

good luck mate i think you will find an early will need work and cost way more to start with

Yeh me too.
I'm sure once some metal starts going back into my car I'll feel better about it.
