I thought i would show some pics of my karmann, i took it out to the watts bridge airfield yesterday for the annual warbirds fly in, awesome day, around 250 klm round trip through the country, bit dusty as part was dirt road as well.I was the only vw appart from a subaru powered monster buggy.

Love it.

Like the stance. What engine are you running, and what size tyres are you using. I've just fitted some 195/65/15 to the front, and 205/65/15 to the rear. The rear are just clearing the inner guard lip by about 2-3mm.

I like the side mirrors on these models too, look sleak.

Nice car mate. Any more photos, eng bay, interior etc.

Nikos.

Its running 135 tyres front on 4.5 rims and 195 rear on 5.5 rims, the rear tyres just miss the wheel arch as well, i put a little wider rear drums on to fill the wheel well as much as possible, engine is a 1600 single port, just an avg motor really but it has plenty of power, all ive done is chrome the whole engine bay to make it look good

.

The body looks nice and clean in the eng bay.

I'm running 6" in the front and 7" in the rear. It's a 70 model. Just installed a new (new case) 1776, with twin carb set-up. Dropped the front about 1.5" and it's transformed the look of the car completely. I only regret no having the little bullet indicators like yours.

I've got a new TMI kit which I'll fit at some time in the future just to tidy the interior up a little. I may have to start looking for some new door strikers though.

Cheers,

Nikos.

Thanks, i get quite a few good comments when i take it out for a spin, i used to have a 72 for years as my dailly driver but i never like the indicators and t/lights etc, the older the better in my books but hey, each to their own, you can always change it to the bullet style if you want to later on
