Yep, that was me and Dad. Found out the cables were not attached to the seats, the levers in the door frame are seized, so for now were hooked up a pull cord under the back of the seat, works OK. I'm glad we spoke to you.

Cheers Chris

Your Squareback is looking good. I like the two-tone paint scheme.
