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.

Work for December
A major activity for December is over as soon as the month has begun. The car has gone off this morning to the body shop to have the remaining bodywork done. This involves fitting of headlight bowls, removal of various dents exposed by the blasting of the body, repair to the body where the blaster got carried away and loads of lead loading and other final adjustments.
Next activity is to sit down and think about what needs doing next as I am beginning to run out of tasks until a repaint can be undertaken. I have in mind a rebuild of the horns and looking into getting some plates with captive bolts made up to enable me to repair the padded top dash which has lost 2 of its mounting bolts through rust.
