Picked it up on Tuesday and figured I’d let the wife drive it before it is slammed on the floor. Took it around the neighborhood with our 11 month year old and filled the back up with groceries before we headed home. This is my first Squareback and really excited to make it my own.

Polished the paint, thinking about spraying clear on top and leaving it like these. We call it Purple Danger.

Today I installed a a correct date/restored fuel pump given to me by my compadre Pedro Sainz. Car now starts at first crank, the old NOS pump stopped working. Will look into a rebuild.

^^^^^^
Since it looks that bad after 30 years in storage, it must have been rode hard and put away wet its first 22 years. Razz

I cleaned up and started putting my parts in line for my daughter's fastback. Though I don't have a picture of it, I found a part that I need help in identifying. It's under the dash, and windshield. It's like it's made of plastic I'm guessing, but sitting in the sun for so many years has deteriorated it's condition. Any idea on finding a suitable replacement?

Got my new red Hella brake light lens installed on my 3rd brake light. Picked it up at the Northwest Bug Run.

Probably the fresh air box.

Purchased a 69 Fastback, it's rough around the edges, but it runs and drives. First time VW owner, long time "car guy"... I'm excited for the project and look fwd to posting pics of the transition.

Prepping the engine for removal, as I have never removed a type 3 engine our of a 72 squareback. Have done plenty of type one engines. PM me any and all suggestions, shortcuts and utoh's.

my advice is remove the engine and trans together, it's supposed to be done that way. You dont have frame horns like a beetle

Engine is out without the transmission. After removal first check was the end play...well within spec. The engine will get a good cleaning, pistons, cylinder, rebuilt heads. Originally it was fuel injected the convers to weber progressive center mount arrangement. Will have dual carbs on it when done. The pancake engine is all new to me.

I hope you have the trans well supported, It's tough to find that front trans mount (well it used to be)
