Hey guys,
Been a VW fan since my first car, a Manx buggy, which was closely followed by a kit car built on a Type 3 floorpan and running gear.
Always liked the lines of the KG and swore that one day I'd own one, well it might be time.
Probably wouldn't be into a full resto to original specs but more of a clean weekend cruiser. More of a rod look, but not as far as the rat rod look.
Matt/gloss black, lowered, 15" Porsche Fuchs wheels.
Anyway, I'd like to have a look at this car, any advice on what to look for apart from the usual rust? Where does the rust usually appear, floor pan,
sills? Where are the VIN numbers on the KGs?

Paul.
rust is usually found all around the car in the lower 100/150mm of the body so check it all around. The battery tray area as well as around the brake
fluid reservoir and even around the nostrils at the front.

Hey TCR7
I put a deposit on that KG today mate.Sorry dude
Oh well, I guess I'll keep looking.
What was the car like anyway?
Dunno mate,havent seen it in the flesh!
Just bought it coz it is what I'm after. Bit stupid buying like that but sometimes ya just gotta take a punt.
I test drove a KG Razor on the weekend here in Adelaide if ya want something like that?
It drove real nice with only the passenger door had some pretty bad rust.The rest of the car was very good and it drove like a new car.
Owner won't budge from 13grand though. Nice honest bloke and won't tell you crap. He pointed out any problems to me
Its the white one on Carsales.com
Let me know if you want his number
Wannavee, you're a wild man! I can see why you would put a deposit on without looking though, it's so cheap! I don't think I've ever seen a Type 1 Karmann Ghia with an asking price of less than $12,000.
Hey Wannavee....ballsy move mate!!
Hope it works out for you.
It does look like a nice car though, from the pictures anyway.
Well done, and all the best with it....are you driving it back home (ROAD TRIP!!!!) or trucking it?
Scarab (aka: Paul)
ive got 2 project cars iwant to sell now as ijust bought another house(need money now), $3500 each, thats what they owe me, need full resto though, steve 0409475131 qld
Haha,cheers guys
Ballsy or stupid?,we'll find out soon enough!
Will be trucking it down soon i hope.Can't get time off for a road trip.
Adelaide will be seeing this thing cruising around a fair bit thats for sure.With an altitude adjustment ofcourse!

Congratulations Wannavee,
