Karmann Ghia Project - Step 1

The lowlight is still in Germany in order to get a TÜV test and German documents/number plates. To be able to get the papers with all the things I want, the car is needing some work.

1) mount a 1600 engine with 40 dual IDFs (replaced by a 2110 with 48 carbs within summer). so fuel lines are to be adapted, a fuel reserve lever has to be added for the TÜV (since early lowlights don't have a fuel gauge). heating has to be running (cable and heat exchangers are again needed).

2) repair an oil leak from rear hubs (new brake pads and gaskets needed).

3) remove CB Performance sign from the spindles.

4) mount 17" wheels and tires to have them on the papers

5) mount a hitch (need to modify a Beetle one) and put the cables/relais/connector to run the lights on the trailer. I need to mount this now because I cannot put it on the papers when in Italy.

6) pass the test, have the log-book and hopefully the customized number plates.
