T3: Re: Parts, ANYONE!!!!

[Steven Ayres <comwest@well.com>]

GusG=> I have a 1966 T3 Ghia and I'm looking for some parts:
=> -    Passenger window

I'll be parting one out over the summer if you're willing to wait. It's 
on the other side of the country from me now, unfortunately.

=> -    Crome tirm for the door runner. Driver & Passenger side 

The Holy Grail of T3 Ghia parts. Later T3 side chrome will substitute, 
though it's a couple of inches longer. 

=> -    Emblems  (I need the front nose VW emblem and
=>      the Karmann Ghia Script for the back)

Both are available from Rocky Mountain Motorworks. The KG script is 
standard for most KG models (you'll notice it has a 343 part number, so 
we got it first!), and the nose emblem is the same as a T14 Ghia's 
without the plastic base.

=>  Will a Window from a Type 1 Ghia fit???? Also will the trim from a 
=> Type 1 Ghia fit the runner?

No and no.

As a new T34 owner, your best resource is the VW Type 34 Karmann Ghia 
Registry. For introductory info, point your browser at www.type34.org.
You may also contact me directly for T34-specific info, which just makes 
the rest of the T3 people jealous. ;) 

Above all, don't panic. You've got a great car and you really *can* 
finish it.
