Squareback on carsales
Hi all,
After months of searching for an original squareback in or very close RWC for around 5 grand, i finally put a deposit on one on the weekend - very
excited my first VW. Still needs a bit of work inside but body and motor good.
I was very happy until I saw this one, which is exactly what I was looking for and just up the road!!!

Still happy with the one I got but have I missed out on something special?
Please someone tell me this is a rust bucket underneath.

I know but that's not the one I got - I think it might be better than the one I got though  .

It is always the way. Soon as you get something another one pops up even better!

Don't want to look at it just in case its too good - can't afford both of them.
The one I put the deposit on was completely restored about five years ago, everything taken apart, all rust repaired and everything repainted inside
and out (I have photos- but not sure how to post yet). So there should not be any hidden rust. The guy I bought it off is going to respray the
outside for me as well - so that sealed the deal on Monday.

Don't stress mate. ur best bet is to self hypnotise some ignorance towards the other car and focus on what you got. Which doesn't sound bad either.
Particularly if its recently been restored and your getting a fresh respray with your deal. How could ya go wrong. good work man

Going by your 'avatar' looks like you might have got a bargain - good one. Show us some picks - share the love.
If your interested this is the one that I got.
