Re: House of Karmann

Steelies were on my original list

ImageAWC Steelie 1 17 inch

Re: House of Karmann

Appears I will be able to fit a set of 16x7 ET65 - 225 wide tyres under the rear arches. the 160 ponies will need some grip. There are a few 928 options available Tele dials, D90, Slots, and the Wintercults. Still need to see what fits under the front and allows the wheels to turn through the whole ...

901 dog leg shifter

Afternoon,

Karmann Ghia is off to bodyshop soon and just trying to complete a few tasks, like being able to shift gears.

Does anyone have an early 901 dogleg gear shifter they want to part with?

Reverse should be top left.
