Hi

After two years of renovation.
My Karmann is doing well already traveled together 11 000 km.

No costumes were sewn to fit the era of the 70s.
Only for rallies where are evaluated also outfits. And also for fun Wink

Yes, the photos taken during meetings in Poland and Ukraine.
In Poland there are about 60 Karmann Ghia hard to tell how much is riding.
At the meeting of Club Karmann Ghia Poland arrives usually 15 cars.

That's very similar to the engine I'm set to build this winter.

How does it drive?

I particularly like that you followed sound marketing principles when painting the engine size on the fan shroud - 1955 cc sounds SO much larger than a mere 2 liters. Wink

And with this inscription I have a small problem Wink
Because the uninitiated think that this is the year of production of the car. Laughing

Very good and smooth.
I wanted a low-rotation engine and that is, of course, I need to improve the carburettor regulation and the choice of ildes.
This is a street engine and long routes, not a 1/4 mile race.
Nevertheless, the power is in abundance and the speedometer is too small.
The sound is powerful but does not bother the ear on the highway.
