Colour selection time for the KG. Trying to pick a modern twist but period look.
This is 911 ST Shore Blue with stripe of Sportgraumetallic – M7M” (fashion grey). Colours compliment each other. Stripe looks great but may go with wing top darts to match the 356 Coupe.

Hey Greg – I have just found this thread and will take me a while to read. But in the meantime I have a white 63 Karmann Ghia hot rod which is not run since Covid and just starting the process of getting her back on the road

Hey Steve, looks like the KG is in great condition and relatively straight forward to get back on the road.

Progress has been slow on KG, due to other car priorities. Fitting the re-built engine in the 356 and welding the fuel cell up for the speedster flat6. These are almost done.
Originally I was going to use original 356 gauges, high cost of second hand gauges, rebuild and any artwork dial change cost and time scale, coupled with getting the Porsche 6v electronics/ mechanical drives to integrate with 12v bespoke wiring loom I decided to buy these beauties;
Replica KG gauges from IPS West in the USA.

They have a period 356 green gauge "look" and should be significantly easier adapt to the loom. Plus all the requisite features to meet the IVA test.

Another task off the list. 944/968 4 x calipers fully refurbished and painted;

I have the same brakes on my 356 speedster with no servo and they work incredibly well.

Those gauges look perfect
