Post by: Hilda on February 21, 2008, 08:56:05 AM: Hey guys. I got a message from Jason to check out this post. Yes it seems to be the same car as I bought it from the guy in AB. It wasn't in the greatest shape when I got it but she cleans up real nice. The car is now down in Ventura County California. I put the rack on and did various other things. I get a lot of compliments on the car and untill Jason had contacted me I really did not know the history on it. He sent me some old photos before the body work and paint job. Anyone know where the emblems ended up? Anyway, I use it as my surf wagon and take it to the beach pretty regularly. Any additional history on the car would be appreciated such as when it was first sold, when it ended up on your forum, etc.

Post by: Hoosier Daddy on February 23, 2008, 12:48:02 PM: Its cool to see the old Square being enjoyed by somone! I love that car. I think I have some old pics of it. If memory serves me right I believe that it was purchased from the owners son (he is taylor in Burnaby) I remember having to go over and get the ownership papers from him (twice :D ). It used be an automatic before a steady 70 MPH trip of 30 miles retired it. I'll try to dig up some old pics.

The square is running really well. I pretty much did an overhaul on the brakes and they are working well now. The clutch had to be adjusted but seems good now. Jason said that the tranny is a one off. Did you put it together? I get a lot of compliments on the wheels. Just bought two new tires today. Still have two Wanli tires on it that have not worn too bad. Had to bring the front up an inch and level it out. Was tired of hitting the bump stops. Still looks good though. It is way cool to hear from people that used to own it. I am really enjoying it as it is just a side fun car for me. Any pictures would be great. email is kyle.brantner@gmail.com
