My 65 Squareback


G'Day all,
I've been lurking around for a while (learnt alot!), figured I may as well register & introduce myself & my Square. It's a 65, bought it about 10 years ago. It spent a good deal of it's life in country Canberra, must've been dry as there's virtually no rust to speak of. I decided to strip it down for a basic do it yourself resto in 2003..... got that far then various things got in the way, until May 2011 when I finally pulled my finger out! So, long story short, we were registered and on the road this January! All the work bar the engine was done by myself in the driveway at home. Still a bit of tidying to be done, but I'm stoked to be driving it again, as a daily too! Not many mods, just some lowering, BRMs and a bit of "period" bling....

When I bought it in 2002.... (the paint isn't shiny, it was raining!)
