Hello All! I am the new proud owner of a 1969 Squareback 1600. I bought this car as a restoration project for my girlfriend and me as we both share a love for classic VWs. We both, however, are new to the world of Volkswagen mechanics and hope to be picking the brains of all you pros out there! I'll give a little info on the car first. The engine was rebuilt by it's previous runner and runs good but runs a little rich? Could use some clarification on this. Two days into ownership the starter quit on me and after pulling it out I noticed the teeth were severely chewed. I was told the starter my have been too loose and when I asked about the fly-wheel I was told it was possible it would also be chewed up but not likely as it's made of very durable metal. What do you think? Anyroad, those are my immediate mechanical issues. More about the car? Ok. The body has no paint. Just primer. No dents, scratches, or rust. The interior has been stripped to the metal and needs replaced. I do, however, have both front and back seats. The electric seems to be working fine, but the locking mechanism on the glove box came out with the box still locked and I want to get under the hood to look at the fuses. How do I get the box unlocked without tearing it up too badly? I have all the windows but they need installed. What equipment and/or parts do I need to to accomplish this task? My immediate goal for the car is to get it into good driving shape (windows, engine running well, brakes, etc...) and then get it looking good inside and out. We would REALLY appreciate any help with our new baby! Also, if this is not how it's done, someone write back and say, "hey buddy! One question at a time!". Anyone live in Denver? Any places I should know about to get parts and/or service? Thank you! Long days and pleasant nights, Jeremy __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
