Paul'sT34 Project: July 2010
http://paulst34project.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Details of the restoration of a 1963 Type 34 Karmann Ghia. Saturday, July 24, 2010. First Real Drive in 26 Years. Checked the oil, tire pressure, and gas and took off through the sunny pine tree countryside of Lake Tahoe. I wasn't sure I was going to make it back without a tow or flatbed. I had forgotten how well the T34 handles on tight turns. Tahoe has many highways with sharp corners and I was able to have some fun being aggressive with them. And didn't want to repeat it. What a fun day! This was actu...

Paul'sT34 Project: The Old Wrap-the-Bumper- In-Cloth Trick
http://paulst34project.blogspot.com/2011/01/old-wrap-bumpe-in-cloth-trick.html
Details of the restoration of a 1963 Type 34 Karmann Ghia. Saturday, January 29, 2011. The Old Wrap-the-Bumper- In-Cloth Trick. Experienced car owners know this drill. Always wrap your bumpers with cloth to avoid scratches while installing. Then cut the fabric off with scissors after you are done. Having a great time assembling the car while it is snowing outside.

rebuildmyghia34: Changes to early vent window glass
http://rebuildmyghia34.blogspot.com/2012/04/changes-to-early-vent-window-glass.html
Originally focused on the restoration of my November 1961 built (1962 model year) Type 3 Karmann Ghia (343) I have now extended the blog to cover the ongoing ownership of my 1964 built (1965 model year) RHD type 3 Karmann Ghia (344) purchased in 1982. Sunday, April 15, 2012. Changes to early vent window glass. Finally the pivot bar from the chromed frame that goes into the vent window frame had a different profile that eliminated the need for the circlip fitted on the later ones. (although there also...

Paul'sT34 Project: April 2010
http://paulst34project.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Details of the restoration of a 1963 Type 34 Karmann Ghia. Sunday, April 25, 2010. Purchased a genuine T34 tachometer recently and sent it down to North Hollywood Speedometer company. For restoration. They will also convert the unit to 6v and paint the needle amber red to match my other '63 instruments. They used an old T34 clock of mine for spare parts.

Paul'sT34 Project: August 2010
http://paulst34project.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Details of the restoration of a 1963 Type 34 Karmann Ghia. Saturday, August 28, 2010. There are 3 less early NOS T3 hub caps in the world as they were just placed on the car. It took me twenty years to find them. Finding the 4th has been illusive. It is just amazing how flawless they are. The convex shape, with the scratch less chrome, perfectly reflects images almost like a fish-eye camera lens. Thursday, August 26, 2010. The interior, for the most part, had a few drops on the inside movable windows.
