Hi all here's my 73 squareback
« on: August 17, 2009, 11:11:54 PM »
Hi all
i spoke to a few of you guys at the retro rides gathering and would like like to thanks you for the advice on how to stop the back of my car being so bouncy when driving.Anyway here's some pictures of my 73 vw squareback that i've just fitted with a single pump 2 switch set up.
 



i hope to meet some more of you guys at shows in the near future.
Thanks again Damien
