Hi All, had my 73 square back for a while and have been getting a few stares and questions when driving her so thought I'd out her to the world so to speak.

Few more pics for you all

I can see why! What a stunning example of a square.
I love the '73 model, I think they were the best, never had the pleasure to drive an FI one.

Admittedly I did get extremely lucky with my Square in terms of the condition its in.. here's the only rust I found on it and the resultant repair I had to spend hours doing

Out of curiosity does anyone out there have a FI Squareback??

I have seen a number getting about (FI motors), but no personal experience unfortunately.

A word of warning on late type 3's is rust rust rust!! I am close to getting a '73 fasty back on the road and have been surprised how little rust is in it, especially as I have had a number of type 3's and know where the rust is and how bad they get.

Unfortunately the rust starts from the inside and is not visible until it breaks through.
The easy to see bits are under the window rubbers, under the sound deadener on the floor pan, spare wheel well, inside the doors.
The hidden ones are the scary bits, inside the chassis rail the rear bumper attaches too, sills, the strengthening bracket up high inside the front guards and inside the fresh air vent. On fasties in the rear pillars, on the wagons in the roof (rear corners)
As I have stripped mine in the process, I have flushed these areas with a gerny and blased compressed air to make sure it's as clean as possible then flooded with fish oil then the black tar stuff.
The worst is the fresh air box. I removed the fan, and took the hard decision to cut it open in the boot area. Glad I did as there was rust breaking through, if left then put into daily use would not take long to rust through, and would not be easy to fix.

If you have a great car, you need to make sure they stay that way

That's bloody neat!
