Hi folks (or should I say volks?) Just found and subscribed to this list. My wife and I are vintage VW enthusiasts residing in Decatur, Alabama. I'm 37, she's 26. We currently own a pair of 68s - a 68 Squareback and also a 68 Karmann Ghia. The Ghia is a mechanically sound sunday driver with a decent original interior, but needs a good deal of body work. The Squareback has a very solid, almost rust-free body, but needs an engine, a new interior and paint. Both are in the beginning/planning stages of complete restorations. I already subscribe to a number of online lists of various interests including one devoted to Ghias. Looking forward to participation in yet another great VW list. Any mail order sources for Type 3 resto parts (especially interiors) would be greatly appreciated. Also, my wife wants to convert the Squareback to automatic, and I think I may have already found a wrecked donor car with good engine and auto transmission. Any thoughts or suggestions on this conversion?
