61 Karmann Ghia part restored, Has now found a new VW-loving home..

Thanks for Your interest everyone. Kudos to a group of such passionate VW people. It's been great to talk to some of you. cheers db


The back story..
I bought the car in average condition about 20 years ago. Drove it for several years, hooked the girl -now married 2 kids ;-) and took it off the road to do the resto.. Well, work needs meant I needed a bigger modern vehicle and the sad, sad reality is I don't have room for KG and can't keep her forever. Selling as is.

Body has been stripped, all rust cut out, and resprayed. Interior has new headlining, new dash, new carpet, new buckets and a plush red/black theme throughout. Stored in dry garage since this work was done.

What's not done. Electrics, motor (comes with a bog standard 1500, not in car) re-assembly. Comes with the original bits and pieces as removed from the car.

A couple of pics here for you, and more at a web page so as not to weigh down this page..

Wow only that I like sleeping inside in winter lack of storage space and I already have one I'd seriously think about it.My little car sat in the shed for about 12 years until we registered it for my son's wedding.Good luck with the sale

_Right thing to do?? Ahh, now we're getting philosophical.. Good question, and if it's not the right thing I'll need a house with a triple garage and I'll be back on here with a "WTB" :lol:

Grumble- Nice story. Well done for persevering and I'm sure your son enjoys it too.

thanks to the guys who have offered swap deals- you tempt me, tempt me, damn you. But sorry, if I did that I'd still have one car too many ;-)
