Colorado having warmer than usual winter weather, Buttons has an opportunity to get out and about.

The warmer weather last week allowed me to complete installing the upholstery buttons in the interior seats and panels.

Just received this roof rack from sub90. Fits perfectly and I think it looks great.

No, there was an ad here in the classifieds, but looks as though the ad is closed. Unsure if he'll make/acquire more.

| Love the squareback. I have a 72 also. What type of front disk brakes do you have? Mine has the 72 only front calipers that are almost impossible to find new. It took me months to find some used replacements when the originals seized on me. |

Mine has the same, but are actually working great. . . . so far. She's just resurrected, so she shows her age and idleness at different times.

Buttons and my next-door neighbor's '70 Fasty. You don't see the Type 3s around very often, much less right next door to one another.

Buttons has new shoes. Her original wheels were sand blasted and powder coated in a nice red. Add the Wolfsburg hub cap and a beauty ring and I have always loved the red wheels on beige!

Thanks Leo! Cool Notch.
The work on the Square is slowing down, time to focus on my Ghia. Would like to get the Square's dash redone as the last thing.
