The lowlight chasing a Porsche near Chimay...

2110 cc running on my lowlight Karmann Ghia

KG rubber floor mats

I found on eBay a pair of original rubber floor mats, perfect for my lowlight Ghia.

Pro: very low price
Cons: These cover only the right side of the car

KG Lowlight Hella tail lights

I Just bought a pair of Hella rear lights for my for Lowlight Karmann Ghia on eBay Germany.

These are the European version with amber turn signals needed for circulation, and will replace the full red US lights.

Snow...

November weekend

While I was trying to begin with the rubbers and seals of the Eriba,
I couldn't help letting my 20-months-old nephew play inside the caravan.
All is child-dimensioned there, so he felt better than at home!

He tried to dismantle everything inside...

On Sunday I helped Silvia with her KG...
Caution! Work in Progess!

Rust is already eating the pan here, so we just sanded the whole thing...

We opted to stop the rusting process for now, putting a black antirust gel by Saratoga, applied with a paintbrush. Not for show. But I'm sure it will be fine for a while.


In the meantime the winter recovery for a pair of VWs is almost ready:

Raduno di Scandicci 10 Maggio 09

Carovana Pistoia-Scandicci (50km circa)

La Karmann Ghia di Silviadrive e il Maggiolino di Cristian seguono il Duve

Il Maggiolone Cabrio di Ercole mi precede

Visuale dallo specchietto

Velocità di crociera
al raduno...
le 'nuove' retine ai fari. come stanno?

E' mio!

Adesso lo posso dire (perchè l'ho pagato): E' MIO!! Lo devo andare solo a prendere... in Svezia!

1950 (Brezel) riverniciato di marrone parecchio tempo fa, era nato bordeaux (dicono)

assetto e meccanica rifatti da Meanbugs in Svezia. Gli Sprintstar non li ho presi perché voglio montare altri cerchi

Avantreno -15cm senza ammortizzatori

lame regolabili e cambio Karmann Ghia 8x31 (sigla AO)

Motore di un ovale (30cv) completamente rimesso a nuovo

Interni da film horror. Ma a me piacciono, perché sono gli originali del 1950.

Essenziale. Rust is not a crime!

Ancora non ho una idea precisa di quale TOP-cura riceverà il mezzo, ma lo considero una ottima base per qualsiasi stile: rat, resto, cal, etc

Presto altre news.

Old-style toe-in

It's good to see this beauty in the garden, but it needs some professional toe-in, in order to drive better and avoid uneven tire wear.

Since it's not possible to use modern methods, I went to Mr. Spapperi, one who could use the old style method for the toe in.

Back again home, and parked aside Silvia's '63 Karmann Ghia. Good couple eh?
