Karmann Ghia Restorer???
Does anyone know who the company is, I think in QLD that restores Karmann Ghias, with air con options etc etc. Think you can specify what you want and
they will do it?
1971 Type 3 Fasty - EJ20T
I love 242HP sleepers. 
How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 
UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list. |

Not sure who does it...

with air con... and they are nice...
also VERY EXPENSIVE....
remember Karmann Ghias bodies were hand made....

the latest air con compressors weight much much less than the original York compressors did...
well worth the comfort factor... YES.... IMHO

Funny part is a vw engine runs pretty hot in the middle of summer and if you are going to run aircon it will make your engine run even hotter from the
extra power being used, get a convertable and drop the top

?? I am talking about modern compressors. they still weigh s#it loads, and the rest of the system. Besides I can't stand that frigid bone dry air
that air cons make. I like my air to be around 25-30 anyway.
