Restoration of the car is still going well. I have nearly finished the restoration of the indicator housing and arm. I had it blasted and have now re-sprayed it, just need to rewire it over the next few days. I have also fitted the new brake mastercylinder and with that all mechanical work is now complete.
I still need a couple of parts for the car, these are the correct wheel rim embellishers, as in this photo of Johannes Krasenbrinks car. According to the parts book early ones have a type 2 part number (241601155A) and later ones a type 3 part number (341601155A) they look the same as on the type 1 Ghia like these fitted to Johannes car. Let me know if you have any - NOS preferred.
Also needed is one NOS early pointed style rear drivers side overrider (for LHD car), I have reasonable condition used ones but would like an NOS one.
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.
