So I am visiting Dallas for a few months and back home in the UK I am restoring a 67 squareback. Wondering if there are any aircooled parts suppliers here in Dallas?

Welcome to the U.S., Texas and the site!
I'd love to see pics of your square.

One or more of these should be able to take care of you.

Wow thanks guys, a fair few shops to go to. Here are a few of my square:

When I first bought her off the boat from California:




Mid strip down:

After blasting:

Pan halves replaced and whole chassis has been powdercoated, flatted and painted. Engine is mid build - 2027cc with custom injection, electronic trigger ignition.

Parts to buy - front windscreen, front fenders (or wings as the brits call them) and many small parts. Anyone got some NOS parts let me know
