The only way I can think is import. I will go to Pro-Auto rubber and see what they have, however think that importing will be the answer.hitlers revenge wrote:Where are you gonna get all your window rubbers from???

The KG was picked up this morning! Will spend the next 9 - 12 months in Randfontein. Looking forward to the Friday afternoon drives to film the progress!

Wow Mr T
Your Karmann Ghia looks good, you have most of your chrome bits still intact,especially the decklid script badge.
I am missing :
Deckid script badge
Chrome molding below the doors (both sides)
right-side quarter window chrome piece
1 original headlight
Gutter chrome strips
Door window rubber strips
Door rubbers (to prevent banging)
Cant wait too see the progress, i will use it as a guidline to restore my ghia
