well I have been kinda busy lots of little projects going on. Just finished building a rotisserie to put the squareback on. So i can media blast the whole body. Plus i am in the process of building my version of the Volksair , Vw power air compressor so i have the air to do the job...

here are some pic of the square as it sits now

thanks I Have a lot of repair work to do on my square and thought this would be the easiest way to get to all the hard to reach spots. I attached he front via the front upper beam mounts... And the rear from the rear sub frame mounts. the brackets for that is just 2inch angle bar welded to the slip pipe. It is 8feet long outside to outside of the up rights

Nos rear trunk flooring

Where did you get the NOS trunk flooring? Mine has several rust holes and I am considering replacing the whole thing.

Thanks,

Dan

I got lucky i bought a whole stock pile of NOS type3 parts here. and ended up with 4 of the rear floor section good thing the one on my square back is trashed so very bad patch jobs all over it...

well i was having no luck in finding time to strip all the rubber under coat off the squareback. they sprayed that crap everywhere inside and out to cover up some bad patch jobs. So i had to hire a guy to come over and do it for me.
So here is some of the progress...

jet strip at work

some of that bad patch work

major bondo in the hood

rubber under coat off of everything now

some one made galvanized floor pans for the square not to bad of a job

I'm going to have to do the same thing to mine eventually going to get it torn down (Body off) and get her restored like I'm wanting to. Keep up the nice work on the square
