<x-charset iso-8859-1>=> Is it generally a much more expensive and => difficult job than, say restoring a squareback => or a fastback? Yes. The mechanical stuff is the same, with a few minor varioations, but for the rest of it, it's not like doing a Volkswagen. More like a Porsche in terms of prices, with the rarity factor of a '50s Lincoln. That said, there are about 50 cars for sale in the Type 34 classifieds right now, and many are complete and running. Not many people know about these cars, so demand is low and prices are not outrageous. Besides good looks, the Typ34 is an excellent grand touring car, roomy for a sports car (with two cargo compartments), economical, well balanced and nimble on the road. I've put over 25,000 miles on mine in the past five years in all sorts of weather because I just love driving it. The Type 34 Registry is the best source of detailed information on them, and we'll be happy to help with the information you'll need to determine whether a 34 is right for you. To start, check out type34.org. Steven Ayres, Prescott AZ Southwest USA Rep VW Type 34 Karmann Ghia Registry '66 343 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
