1966 Karmann Restoration

Post by KG66 »

I picked this baby up last year and did a bit of work on her, bought new mags from the states, new carpets, bit of fixing here and there. I got a bee in my bonnet this year and have started stripping her down. She was in a front end smack a long while back, so there is quite a bit to do. I will also take her down to metal for a full pro respray.

I don't think the styling of that car will ever age.
