Hey All,
Just registered here after I was pointed to the site by VWRX. Here are some brand new pictures of a 1961 Karmann.
Taken from a closed area beside the house.

Interior

Engine: about 1683cc (been bored out so not exactly sure)


What do you all think?
Paint needs a bit of work, full re spray really, but otherwise very very nice.


Hope ya all like these.
Sam

Sad news Reub, starter motor (i think) died on me this morning, the Karmann's in with my dads mechanic mate.
Should know the damage (minimal i think) by this afternoon.

Definately still a work in progress this car.

Got to love twin quiet packs eh? That's the same combo and engine size I had on my KG. That will pull quite nicely.

Oh it does, very very nicely.

Just needs a bit more tweaking and it will run much nicer. We are still getting its balance just right.
