All MOT'd and running. Have a snagging list which will take a few months to sort! but loving driving her! Had to go to 165x50x15 on the front due to wheel arch rub! & one of my tips fell of the Monza after 2 days, so will be modifying that at some point this week! http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/...

Just bought the tins. £1.75 each!! Going to test fit them tomorrow, will let you know how they go!!

Now I like the pud tins idea!!! genius...was at Vanfest at the weekend & set of BRM centre caps were £35 - I'm off to Tesco!!

Awesome example..love it! Especially the Motorola head unit...quality!

Have been busy flatting back & getting the G3 & G10 out!! Getting there slowly, but babies & work limiting my time at the moment!

My workload has gone bonkers lately, so moved the Square to lodge with family member, so I can flat the clear coat & all the other jobs to finish off as & when work permits! List of things to do, slowly getting smaller, but slowly getting more complex! 1. new brake M/C and bleed all. 2. Check wiring...

Still battling away trying to get the old girl done. Engine in and running (although all needs idle, carbs balanced and few other tweeks). Just finishing brake bleeding and started to flat the clear coat in prep for G3 & G10 with the mop. She's no show winner & probably not to everyones T3 taste, bu...

Been flat out trying to get the old girl done!! Nearly there, but finances taken a battering thanks to Mr HMRC!! hope to get to Dubs at The Castle - failing that - VanFest!! http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/ratbag22/545baae1.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/ratbag22/590f2555.jpg ...

Engine coming together slowly. Powder coated tin ware going back on. Just sorting the carbs, then the build up!! http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab327/gibunit1/engine/Photo0699.jpg http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab327/gibunit1/engine/Photo0700.jpg http://i876.photobucket.com/albums/ab327/gibu...

Had a monster day on the body today.
Managed to flat the 1st primer coat and get the 2nd on.

After an early start!! 1st coat of filler primer. Still quite a lot of work to get her straight, but looks more like a car now! http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/ratbag22/21c804eb.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/ratbag22/bb0be721.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/ratba...

Project gaining some momentum now (and bills!!!) had the crank back from being reground & getting dynamo & oil cooler off Desi Type 3, so hopefully week or so to see if she runs nicely!!

Had the wheels back from blasting and powder coating, just waiting for the engine tin ware whilst working the body and preparing for paint.

Cracking on with bodywork at the moment, but also rebuilding what was a pretty rough engine. Looking to get to the Dubs at the Castle show in July, failing that Vanfest. Some pics of the engine progress, crank has gone off to be re-ground & currently buying stack of replacement parts as our local cl...

Have had a full week on the square last week. 95% of welding done, & offered the shell back to the pans. Have a bit of tweeking to get snug fit on the pan edges before sealing & bolting up. Next on to the panels, doors and getting shut gaps sweet, followed by engine rebuild. http://i207.photobucket....

loving the work!!
Also like your spendometer & man hour count!!

Should really keep a track of mine like that, but would have to account for tea and ciggie breaks!!
Keep up the work & hope to see the finished project in person one day!!

You'll never look back. Also the best Colour VW ever did, IMHO.

Enjoy.

Had a 68 bug in Savanah Beige, I agree...very good colour for dubs, original yet still looks cool!

[quote="jmarkha1"]love the car. do cocomats have templates for squarebacks? I would love a set of left hand drive mats for an automatic car.

Amazing straight Square & looks beautifully finished on the video!

Love it Love it Love it!! Sweet ride, & I agree the polished burners work so well. Great individual car - hat off to your mucker who did the resto!

Hopefully meet it (& you) in person one day!

Have managed to squeeze a few days in, in between stress of the TAX man & forthcoming births!! Repaired the front valance, offside bumper mount & offside sill. On to all other offside repairs then flip over and repeat on nearside!!. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/ratbag22/Front_bump_mount....

Keep going Nevs!! I'm with you on the occasional dip in motivation, but as each bit gets ticked off the list the end goal feels that bit closer!!

Get some pics up soon! be good to see another 73 square!

One sweet ride you got there!

Have been manic with work and baby stuff, and only 9 weeks to my (supposed!) deadline of the new Tredegar House VW show. So have called in the cavalry to speed things up for me. Got the old girl on her side this morning to make the surgery a little less painful for us kneeling on cold workshop floor...
