Very nice Squareback, Nate. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif) Reminds me of the one we had before we left Indy. Course mine had air conditioning....lets see.....in the left front fenderwell their were various holes....oh yea, and in the right front too, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) and don't forget the rockers!!Courtesy of all the salt they loved to put down in the winter time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Sure hope yours doesn't, or hasn't, developed the cancer yet.............Dad.....

They drive nice especially the late ones with indepenant suspension. My 64 1500S SB had a 1776cc 85hp motor in it with OEM sway bars and Koni's so it drove real nice on the freeway.
The 69 FB had the djet and could scoot too with 66hp plus on trips I got over 40mpg.
They are nothing like driving a VW Bug! Had a 60 bug that I put a 1600 DP in with one of those Holly Bug sprays too.
Had lots of buses including a 67 21 window which was my favorite until a friend wrecked it when they borrowed it.

They drive better than a Bug and have more room. In fact, they feel and drive better when carrying a load greater than just the driver (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) They have a beefier front suspension and were meant as a step up from the Bug. When maintained the heating system is good, I speak from experience (going from good to unmaintained to maintained). Simply insulating the flex tubes that go from the heat exchangers to the body makes a difference (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Aside from the cooling fan and tin, the oil tube is different and the generator mounts on the fan housing, left side. Please, allow me to show off my engine:

I did the restoration on my Square in the summer of 2000. The body is pretty much rust free. I'm starting to see small spots on the rockers... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)
Toby - your Squareback provided some inspiration for me during my restoration. You've definately got the SWEET engine set up. Nice work!

Cheers
Nate

Not bad, just put the windshield wiper back down to it's stock position as it does do a 90ยบ sweep. If another wiper arm, motor or linkage is needed then check out The DDB.

Bought one about an hour ago. No pics, yet. It's a '69, so it has front discs, IRS, and D-Jet, but with small chrome bumpers. It's somewhat rough-looking, but mechanically very sound, which should make it ideal for its intended purpose (hauler of parts, large dogs, and other big messy things).
