He had to move his Squareback (in the background) off the road to make room for the delivery...

Contacted a local VW/Classic Car Club. They have monthly meetings at a brewery/restaurant, monthly rally drives, and participate in several local car show events. I'm looking forward to the next meeting!

I found this while going through some stuff that was in the car when I bought it. I thought some of you might get a kick out of it. Finding it was a pleasant surprise. I blocked out the original owner's name and address.

Very cool, I am going to add that to the Mid-City page on the site.

Yes, radios were crazy expensive back then!

I dynamated the Engine compartment with very good results...It dropped the engine noise and vibration considerably. I also just completed the wheel wells and under the seats and did some PM work with the seats out. good weekend

Finding the right gear was getting harder,decided to replace the shift rod bushing.Found that it was in 3 pieces! Install was a little difficult,not too bad.

Could not believe how much improved the gear changing was Exclamation

Checked the valve gap as well, all checked out. Good day all around.

Hi! Im new and figured I would post here.

Today I bought some PBlaster so I can HOPEFULLY get the front seats out of my newly purchased (poorly treated) Squareback. Wish me luck...this will be the third attempt.

I know...tiny step but it will be a huge victory.
