Groovers...

Hey just wondering if anyone has any rust repair panels for a Karmann Ghia floating around. Maybe bought and not used. I need most of them...Damn it! I need them to fit a 1960.

Not requiring them urgently. Im just doing some home work, getting prepared, and crunching some numbers.

Later

Ant

ps .....I also wanted to ask those restorers who have bought these panels from various business suppliers, do these panels fit better depending on who you buy them from? Ive heard these panels fit differently depending on who's supplying them. Who has the best fit?

hi, u can get them from cip or kgp&r in the usa, or from suppliers in germany and will cost twice the price but are better quality, and shipping will also be more from europe. i am not sure which fits best, but i reckon it have to be the german ones. look ghias on the samba for adverts.

@Grogy...thanks mate sounds like sound advice. Will jump on Samba for a look later and google German parts dealers. I have about 40 already from around the globe bookmarked so im sure there are will be a few German ones in my 'favorites' some where :D
