nice

wow, top car, keep us updated with resto pics.

welcome, look forward to seeing the car, the link or image does not work!!

hi gaz, yeah the loom worked spot on, the loom was one wire short but they used a common for the sides so it worked out fine.

cheers

andy

check the side lights are wired correctly, mine wernt and instead of blowing a fuse completely melted the front loom.

Cheers. It will all prob change as i get bored easily.

a pair of notec blue nipple spots added but not wired yet. next job will be the back end down 1 click to level it out. although its running a bit rough at mo, need to sort some carbs first.

as you can see when the wheels were off i brought the front down a couple of clicks closer to the tarmac. here we are so far. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e395/rustydubs/squareback/DSC01976.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e395/rustydubs/squareback/DSC01975.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/a...

then a bit of bling to smarten em up.

then with some fresh rubber, n some whites its all looking a bit hot rod.

right been a while, not a lot done apart from driving. got i bit bored with the look, but had to replace a couple of perrished tyres, so while the tyres were off (all of them), i painted the wheels. before http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e395/rustydubs/squareback/DSC01967.jpg after http://i43.phot...

they look sweet

1972 square with 1600 twin carbs, idles low, stalls at junctions until warm. feels like a big flat spot when crusing along not at speed, checked timing all seems fine, holding at 3000 revs to check timing and right hand carb backfires (without air cleaner on). do i have a carb prob? done over 120k. ...

Go on post it.

and black n silver plates, changed the back from oblong to square.

now with red rear lights



and clear front indicators

door cards are shot, front screen corners are rotted through, so 1st big job to sort before winter to get it water tight!

first on the cards is a roofrack, ebay special, cost £20, bargin.

on further inspection it wasnt quite as solid as i had hoped but it was a good starting point, will be doing most work needed as a running resto until i decide to spray it up, when the body will come off the pan which will be in about a years time.
first a few accessories n mods to keep me going.

first job is to get the beast home, wasnt going to risk driving it from minehead to newqauy as it hadnt been used for so many years so hired a trailer and used my t4 pick up to collect http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e395/rustydubs/squareback/DSC01717-1.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e395/r...

well here goes, the start of another project, but this should be a keeper as its our family car. won off ebay, a 72 squareback, rhd, in pastel white, 1 owner from new, last used in 1988. the guy who i bought it off got it off the original family, he bought it put it through an mot to sell, a few wel...

any bodyshop supplies should be abe to mix the paint to either a code or use a magic eye to read the paint and specially mix it. paint code if its original colour should be in the spare wheel well on the drivers side.
