OK, so most of you know I picked up a 68 Squareback out of Oregon. The Squareback arrived on the truck today and it's really clean. From what I can tell it's all original... The paint is very nice. The interior is Amazing and all original including the carpet :shock: :shock: There's only a few issues with the car. There's a small dent in the rear driver side fender that I knew about. I found a few small rusty areas upon further inspection today. I think they're going to be pretty easy to fix. There's a bubble in the back window channel under the rubber. The car had all that creosote crap under the fender wells that's practically falling off. I started removing it and I found some rust around the headlight buckets where mud had been collecting. I should be able to clean it up, Por15, and spray some bed-liner/Undercoat on it?? I crawled all over the car and It's very solid with no other rust issues. It drives like a DREAM :thumbs: :thumbs:

CHECK OUT THE BLOCK HEATER :thumbs: :thumbs:
