Re: my 68 squareback finally home
Hi Brian,
it looks great, you must be pleased. Paul is currently looking after my 68 Square, RHD sunroof, though it needs a lot doing to it, all new panels and he's importing half a square from california to replace the bottom 6 inches.... but i want it solid, no quick patch up job, and i really don't think I would want anybody else on it apart from Paul and his team. You seem happy so thats reassuring. I just need to have lie down after the quote......
Can I ask how narrow is the front beam? and how does it drive?
Thanks,
Steve.

Hi Brian,
mine is a white RHD sunroof, its at his fab shop, so maybe not around his workshop. Paul has ordered the back half of a rust free californian car and a set of front NOS panels for me. I decided to go for a solid build up and to get the car solid rather than patch it up. I needed to sit down when Paul discussed money.....
Let me know how you get on with that front beam!
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Brian,
glad you are happy with the cars ride, im way down in East Sussex, but thanks for the offer. I think ill be putting the narrowed beam on stage two of the project. Would like to get it driving standard for a bit, then respray and suspension work.
Pictures will go up soon, im looking at 6 weeks before the parts arrive...... really hoping to get it on the road for the summer fingers crossed,
ill post pics soon,
thanks,
Steve
