My 'new' type3 squareback
Hi all - apologies for the number of pics, but I got my square from Paul at Type3/ Type2 Detectives today. Chuffed to bits with it! The car was standard when I got it, but we decided to get some 911 seats in it, re-trimmed etc, new headlining, turtlebacks and a bit of lowering... Going back next year I think to go lower....

Re: My 'new' type3 squareback
That is lovely. Groaned at the 'Porsche seats' bit, then was proven massively wrong by the photo. Another big want face.

Re: My 'new' type3 squareback
That's a really lovely thing. I echo the want.
I had a late Square many years ago - mine was in Invalid Blue with added rust. I still miss it.

Re: My 'new' type3 squareback
Me too, there is a project razor edge ghia on eBay at the moment. It would turn into another car sat in the corner of the workshop waiting for attention thoughNige wrote:Love it, its always tempting to get back into an aircooled VW.

Maybe I should just hotrod my 356 instead?

Re: My 'new' type3 squareback
So how much are these?

Re: My 'new' type3 squareback
Your car looks great - Paul does a great job - I love squares - I've just bought this off a very good friend of mine and driving it home across France - I'm picking it up in six weeks time - can't wait !

Needs bumpers putting back on.
If you really want to treat yourself Jason go for a early Squareback like the one referenced above purchased from Brian Burrows. Now they're even cooler than über cool

Re: My 'new' type3 squareback
I used to have a Razor Edge. They rust as badly if not worse than early 911s!
