1969 VW Type III Squareback
Here are some old pictures of what my Squareback looks like.
Right now the car is pretty much stripped to a shell (except for wiring) and sitting in my father-in-law's garage awaiting restoration. The car was rear-ended so a new rear apron needs to be welded in, along with a new driver's side rear fender. The car also has some rust in other strange locations which need to be fixed as well. But the chassis itself is in good condition.
Plans for the car include body repair and repainting to the original cobalt blue. It will be slightly lowered on chrome rims. The motor will most likely be a 1776cc or a 1914cc. A turbo is also under consideration.
