This is one of my favorite squarebacks. _________________ I'd be UNSTOPPABLE if not for Law Enforcement and PHYSICS.
I recycle old cars and parts, other than when I rot, that's as Green as I am going to get.
Thanks to my Tesla driving neighbors, I feel more relaxed driving my SUBURBAN and old VW's.

Visited my Squareback for Christmas and took her out for a little drive while the weather was still okay.

You have done the car justice for sure. The refined attention to the details shows. Making a jewel out of a diamond. Get it back here to the left coast. I want to see it again. _________________

Man, where does time go? The older I get the faster it flies by...
I've been up in the Bay Area for the last year, so my Squareback has been on vacation in Hurricane, UT. The views are nice if you can see over all of the church steeples. It seems I live vicariously through all of you people these days.

I got the whitewalls mounted on the powdercoated wheels yesterday. Then I started to prep the NOS front beam for paint.
The beam and NOS arms are now painted. It's 80% assembled at this point. I will get some pictures up tomorrow. _________________ 1963 Notchback - Ruby Red

That engine looks super nice. Really nice attention to detail.
Are the little white covers for the choke wire connections available anywhere? _________________ Patrick

Before I get too far into the '71, I need to get cracking on the '65...

Weird stuff. I put the long push rod in but it pushed the pedal out way too far. I couldn't adjust it in so I put the short rod back in and the pedal is sitting in the right spot with the 1mm clearance needed before engaging the brakes. Hmmm. _________________ 1963 Notchback - Ruby Red

I went with the NOS coupler, just like the OG one that came out of it.
Time to bleed the brakes... _________________ 1963 Notchback - Ruby Red

Great job cleaning it up and your pedal assembly looks awesome! Little battles won are always a great feeling. |
Agreed. Hopefully that new steering coupler has the cloth fiber in it, or you'll be back in there changing it. The cloth is supposed to help hold it together if it starts to crack, rather than just break like the urethane ones do. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof
