Title: My 68 Squareback Post by: Bryan67 on July 10, 2021, 01:59:17 am I`ve owned 3 Fastbacks, several Buses, and Bugs, and I currently own a Thing, and a 63 Bug project. but never a Squareback. Not by choice though. It just never happened..... until now. I wasn't even looking but this popped up on Facebook marketplace over the weekend. It looked familiar but the person that listed the ad wasn't the owner. They were doing it to help them out. After contemplating it for awhile, thinking things like "I don`t need it" and " I already have enough cars"... I called the number. It turns out I was right. I knew the owner fairly well. In fact I tried to buy it a few years ago before buying my 563 Bug project. But he wasn't selling. Now he was. I went to look at it the next day and couldn't say no. It`s a very clean 1968 Squareback that he had did a semi restoration over time. Repaint, new interior, rubber, refreshed engine with Solex carbs and rebuilt transaxle, and rechromed bumpers. It has the original black plates and dealer frames, along with service record and receipts from Vista Volkswagen in Goleta, California. My friend was the second owner. Its nice having something that doesn't need a full restoration for a change. I will be doing a few things to it like a slight lowering of the front, possibly a set of Fuchs, or Pedrini`s, a Berg shifter, and probably a smaller steering wheel (I`m 6'2"). But nothing crazy. Here`s a few pictures I took after I got it home.

I´m looking forward to see the small changes you mentioned 8) Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: VWGlassee on July 13, 2021, 12:50:33 pm Wauw! Great score 8)
" I already have enough cars" You can never have enough cars ;) ;D Yannick Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Larry S on July 13, 2021, 20:16:42 pm sweet car, good find. good luck with it and enjoy!
Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Bryan67 on July 20, 2021, 20:44:19 pm Since my 63 Bug project has been in body shop jail for a few years, I need to use these tires. and since I have disc brake setups already.... I think they are going on the Squareback. Along with a slight lowering of the front end.

Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Larry S on July 22, 2021, 16:56:57 pm awesome find and great car......
Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Bryan67 on July 26, 2021, 21:56:57 pm Thanks. Did a little cleanup on the Squareback this week. Nothing major. Cleaned up the trunk. Pulled out the carpet to reveal the original mats. Did a little mock-up of my Hans detailed Fake Fuchs, took the fog lights off, and gave it a bath. Needs brake work before I can really drive it though.

Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Bryan67 on August 13, 2021, 22:26:13 pm This is where I am for now. I fit new Porsche pattern rotors and calipers on the front, and a CB Performance rear disc brake kit on the back. I still need to figure out the e brake cables, so if anyone has ideas or photos, feel free to post them. Supposedly I just need to make sleeves to extend the housings. Then a set of 5.5" EMPI fake Fuchs. And 175/65 and 205/70 tires. Along with a little lowering of the front end. I like how it sits. And am getting an alignment done this Monday. Put a BERG 6710EB shifter in and replaced the missong bushing and put in new couple blocks. I also had to rejet the solex carbs as the drivers side was WAY richer then the passenger side. Even more then the original off balance settings. Runs much better.

New flat lenses and reflectors. NOS front signal lenses. Put on my Der Speed Shack plate frame. A set of Flat 4 mirrors.
Did a heater delete. And ditched the KYB shocks for a new set of Konis. Worth every dollar.

In my opinion Fuchs-wheels are the perfect accessory for aircoold cars...often seen, but everytime beautiful. Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Steve67 on September 23, 2021, 19:00:29 pm Great looking squareback, makes me want one right now ;-)
Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Bryan67 on November 06, 2021, 05:48:06 am Soooo.... a few weeks ago someone rode up on a bike at night and dumped paint stripper all over my Squareback. It`s put me in a pretty bad place. As sure as I am of who was behind it, I have no proof at all. Nothing showed up on camera. And I have done nothing to deserve this. Anyway. I finally got a weak settlement from State farm, and am moving on with getting the whole car repainted. I started taking it apart today, and it will go in to the body shop next week.

Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Abadco2 on November 06, 2021, 19:47:47 pm I had a similar experience. As you say, you did nothing to deserve this, well it’s unfortunate that some are just done right jealous :-(…… bastards!!!!
Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: jmarkha1 on November 07, 2021, 17:20:17 pm Ah - that is so wrong - I hope you get it sorted and can enjoy the car again...

Real shame you didn't get any footage of the culprit Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Bryan67 on December 08, 2021, 05:41:19 am And the rebuild begins. I really didn`t want another project, but thats what it has become....

UK Type 3's do not look like that when you remove the panels !! Good luck with the re-paint.
Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Bryan67 on December 15, 2021, 01:59:28 am So of course, once you start digging in... you find issues. Nothing really major, but there was some rust, and a really bad repair under the right rear fixed widow. whoever painted it before shoved a piece of cardboard in the rust holes and bondoed over it. A small hole on the body at the bottom of the front right fender (Pretty normal), and some surface corrosion under the brake fluid reservoir. Again, pretty normal. But I can`t ever just do something halfway. So, I`m also doing new interior, wiring, a ton of rubber and detailing the engine, and powder coating the tin and a bunch of other parts. since the windshield is coming out I found a really nice original dash pad to replace the repop one in the car now.

But here`s an update. The deeper you dig, the more you find...

I stripped the engine down to a long block. Did a deep clean and pondered doing a bigger engine build. But since it is a good running recent 1600 rebuild, I decided to leave it alone (For now). So I rebuilt the carbs, upgraded the linkage rods, bead blasted and powder coated the parts, and reassembled it with some fresh zinc plated hardware and an alternator conversion. And converted to a standard air filter element.

For the past years after the vandalism, I kept wondering if you would go all out. Great to see such a fabulous job, despite why you had to do it. Bravo. A.A.
Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Bryan67 on December 01, 2022, 01:53:47 am Si it`s back from the bodyshop. Paint looks good. But of course, once I started to clean up the floor, I found more rust issues. New pan inserts from ISP and the right side kick panel needed repair. fortunately for me, my friend Daniel Hood is very good at that sort of thing. So now that`s taken care of, I can start to assemble.

Larry Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Bryan67 on March 05, 2023, 20:58:05 pm I knew this was in issue when I bought the car as there was a large piece of sheet metal siliconed down to the rear deck area. But since I`ve been forced to repaint the car (which has already been done) I could not leave it alone. So, I pried the sheet metal up and found this. So now I`m looking for a solid replacement. And I`ve searched up and down on The Samba, but haven't really found any in depth information about what's involved with the process. Does anyone have in depth pictures of the process?

SP West did not have any. Nor did Joel in Washington. But I was able to basically buy a whole Fastback rear clip from Burt at Provolks in Merced, Ca. Which meant I had a lot of work to do removing what I needed from the whole clip. It came from a burned out car as he recently had a fire wipe out a bunch of his inventory. But it was the most solid one he had there. After getting it taken out, I had it blasted and then sprayed with weld through primer. Now the fun part. Carefully taken the rusted one out of a freshly painted car, and welding this one in... I know i should have done this before, But the PO has siliconed a flat piece of sheet metal over the rust, and I just couldn't leave it like that.

And I’ve become a fan of Scat Pro90’s, but the brackets they sell are too tall. So my friend Daniel Hood and I teamed up to put a set in my Squareback. But had to make new brackets to mount the seats lower. This required cutting the stock rails off though. After getting the seats in, he had the idea to make covers for the frames. So I made a pattern, and he cut them out on a CNC table, then bent and welded them up. Next is powder coating what we made. Then possible covering them with matching vinyl or carpet.

Must be a bit nerve racking close to that new paint though!

And the welding hasn`t even begun yet. :o Title: Re: My 68 Squareback Post by: Bryan67 on September 16, 2023, 04:15:45 am After a discussion with Daniel Hood, the decision was made to remove the back seat support (Which is rusty) in order to weld the package tray together under it. Then possibly weld it back on. I think this is the last of the spot weld drilling.
