Project: 1971 VW Squareback restoration

Lets bring you back to the year 1971 where Apollo 14 landed on the moon for the third time, Joe Fraser defeated Muhammad Ali, even the NASDAQ was debuted.

Although some may say "who cares....it's 2009!?" well I present to you a bucket of bolts from 1971 otherwise known as the Volkswagen Type III Squareback automatic.
This rusty tin can is powered by a 1600cc ball of VW fury and weighs in at roughly 2,000lbs.
The car was basically left all stock exept for a very rusted undercarriage, almost to the point where if it was left to rot any longer this car would belong with the flintstones and the previous owner attempted to give it a slight "hotrod" look in the trunk by installing a high rising single-dual barrel carburator which only fits by cutting a hole into the engine cover to fit.












Although it is true, it is 2009 now and this antique "grocery-getter" now has a new owner who plans to restore the squareback to its once beautiful state and has chosen Noics Garage for the engine rebuild. So I hope you stay tuned as this will be updated to show our progress.....
