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.

65 under restoration in Kingsport, Tennessee
Here is a pic of a 65 Type 3 ghia being sorted by Sam Manis in Kingsport, Tennessee. Sam is getting all the bits together for it first, no matter what condition and then looking to improve it as he goes along. He has another type 3 Ghia that he is parting out and using the rear clip from to repair some rear end damage.
Looks worse than it is but Sam and dad are in the Body work business so it shouldn't give them too much of a problem. Sam needs parts for his car and has parts from the breaker to sell or swap - drop him a line on slowlow_70bugg@yahoo.com to see how you can help him get this up and running.
