Thought I should finally post instead of lurking.
I purchased my Squareback from Wayne Penrose about a month ago. You may of seen it advertised at the time. Rust free, rebuilt engine with no interior.
Anyway here are some pics. And will keep posting updates along the way.
Will cover dash with mat at this stage
Planning to recover seats in TMI red

Have had to replace fuel pump and HT leads. Getting carbs looked at the next week or so.
Plans are:

Recover seats in red tmi vinyl basketweave
Auto upholster to install carpet - black at this stage.
Powdercoat wheels red
Paint red strip middle of bumpers.
New rubber engine, trunk and hood

looking good and looks like its only gonna get better. must be nice to not to have to worry about rust and paint
more money to spend on bling. keep the pics coming
Thanks mate, very happy about being rust free.
Paint is not the best looks like someone gave it a coat years ago but I love the look of it.
Will definitely keep the pics coming. Hope I can sort out the sizing issue that I appear to have on this post.
this is a great looking square!
ive wrecked a 73 square so if you need anything in particular give me a shout most of it isnt compatible for my build.
An update,
I've got a bit done since last post.
Have installed carpet and new door cards by myself.
Paid for an upholster to do my headliner
Have recovered a seat by myself for the first time ever (still waiting for passenger and back seat covers to arrive.
Painted wheels Red
The seat I dismantled to recover, painted base in black
The wheels before
After sanding , primer and rattle can Merinello Red
Also painted some interior bits to freshen them up with black vinyl rattle can
Once seat covers arrive will install those. Still need to put some new rubbers in I have.
Plan on buying next month or so, new seat belts, vanitian blinds and parcel tray.
Drivers and rear seat installed.
Before and after
