Sorry man I already have plans for it. Its going into my brothers Squareback out in cali.

Eventually the glass made it in and I half assed the harness (I was being dumb and impatient so it wasn't done correctly so it has to be re-done). Then it sat for a while because my license was suspended so i couldn't get it registered. then sat more when I was on deployment (Navy) then sat some more because I got married and had a couple kids.so after a couple of years outside the body picked up a fair mount of rust. Since the beginning this thing always had an intermittent fuel problem. So it was never on the road full time. When I finally decided to get back on the horse this is what I ended up driving.




I still had a fuel issue. Then as soon as i thought it was fixed, somehow a machine screw found its way into the motor and totally screwed me.



After the head was machined and I got a new jug and piston and began to slap everything back together. Even replaced the push tube gaskets after they leaked all over my garage.




Hose clamps are great make-shift piston ring compressors...


Then after about a week of troubleshooting the fuel problem I found a clog in the hard line and pushed it out with some steel cable.

Next I decided to take a crack at putting in a headliner and some sound deadener.




Mattress pad insulation! ...LOL its ok you can laugh...



If you havent noticed already my rear quarter panels were rusted out and cut so i finally scrounged up some $ to get some1 to weld it in. here's the process...






Now time to get the rest of the body tuned up a little...

I sanded down to bare metal, threw some stop rust all over the place... sanded down the excess then 2 coats primer and 2 coats paint... took about 40 rattle cans...





Oh yeah and I replaced a fender... rusted out headlight mounting section.








Now to untape and stick all the chrome and headlights back on.
