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.

Touchdown
Well here are the photos of the body finally resting on the floor pan. It is actually sitting about 1 inch too far forward and I will need to chock the wheels and then lift up the front end and push the body backwards to get it right.
The front end is also sitting too high. the only part of the mechanics i haven't replaced is the bearings for the torsion bars. I suspect, despite copious greasing, that something is seized and I will need to strip down the front torsion bars and replace bits in there. More to follow.
