Most of the badges for the car were either missing or in a bad state. Whilst I had some of them from a scrapped car they were not a great deal better.
E-bay turned up the small Karmann script for the rear passenger side wing and also the large style oblong VW 1500 nose badge and a NOS seal. (This seal is now available from PoP in Thailand - see type34.org web site)
The small Ghia shield that goes below the Karmann script on the rear passenger wing was found in Georgsmarienhuette at the 50th year of KG celebrations along with the early style 1500 badge. The 1500 badge fixes on the left hand side of the rear panel underneath the KG script.
When the body was repaired I lost the positioning of the badges on the rear wing and front nose, Scott Taylor, Larry Edson and Lee Hedges across in the US have all provided excellent help and templates on where these should be fixed so that I can get them exactly right - thanks guys.
