Advice for a new member
I'm loving the German Looker ethos and wondered if you guys could give me some advice for my girlfriend's 1970 LHD Karmann 1302.
Its in for heater channels at the moment and a deep, dark paintjob to match its navy mohair roof. Looking to GL it but not sure if the Karmann can take it. Also in the fleet is a 1982 VW T3 Caravelle. I am about to lauch a business supply parts here in the UK. Reckon a T3 can be 'German Looked' too? I have made a start with an Audi Quattro steering wheel, Porsche glovebox lock, crystal headlights and now I am looking at lowering it, Porsche rims (on adapters), tinted rear lenses, monotone paint, Porsche seats. Any tips on a Porsche brake upgrade for it or any other cool mods would be useful.

Yes of course you can make a 1302 Karman a looker, you want to give Mattkab a shout, his Karman is well cool.
As for the T3 then you want to search some of the German sites, they are the BIG THING at the moment for the German guys to convert in to GL's and the realy good thing is unlike the splittys & bays (it hurts so much to say this as I've got a bay) but the T3 can be made to handle realy well unlike the other two  Good luck and keep us posted with your business venture :agree:

i'm beginning work on my T3 within the next few weeks myself. and absolutely a Karmann can be GL'd. imo, some of the best looking GL's have been 1303 Karmann's.
