Originally focused on the restoration of my November 1961 built (1962 model year) Type 3 Karmann Ghia (343) I have now extended the blog to cover the ongoing ownership of my 1964 built (1965 model year) RHD type 3 Karmann Ghia (344) purchased in 1982.

Wiring loom
The main and front wiring looms on the car were burnt through in several places and had been poorly adapted and repaired in several places.
I bought a type 3 saloon main NOS loom from a friend in the KGOC(GB) but after comparisson with the original and bearing in mind it was so stiff through age I deceided that fitting it would be a compromise and would prove problematic. It would also still only be a half solution as the front loom was still required.
With the loom out of the car I reconnected everything back to it, noted where wires were missing or had been shortened and recreated the loom back to how it should have been.
I then spoke to Autosparks of Sandiacre, Nottingham, UK who made me a new loom, using the old one as a template within 2 months. It looks fantastic and matches what I provided them.
