My 69 Karmann Ghia LHD


My old girl has recently gone from a stock rocker to an old school custom (bolt on only, I hate drilling hole). The list of mods to come is a mile long so keep an eye out on the forum and watch her change. She actually won best Karmann at the Blast from the Past in Berry at her 1st show in Australia ( I'm a proud dad, lol.) More pics to come

Check out the pics below.

Next on the list is T1 2.2Lt with 44 IDF's or 48 IDA's. I'm also looking at dropping the old girl on her guts. I'm also toying with a supercharger at the moment.

Home made, I actually used a chromed curtain rod from a hardware store with black rubber chair stops on either end. All up it costed about $15.00.

Looks pretty cool and adds more shinny bit to the engine bay.

I might hinge bolt it to the bootcatch so as that only half the chance of slippin and a bicycle pump type spring clip at the side to hold the bar and not allow it to rattle..
thought may be a bathroom towel rod ao what you called it.

The steering wheel looks a bit woglike if ya dont mind.....to me...he ha ho yassou.......bit lairie
what brandname him bee.

You'll find it easier to keep the bar in the car. I keep it beside the drivers seat near the heater channel and it dosen't get in the way or bounce around.
