      Thank you! The original radio works so didn't want to replace it, the suitcase has the amplifier inside and it's connected to the car battery, so I can easily remove it without affecting originality. It really blasts, will upload a video about it later. Cheers.

      It was my dream too! Until I finally found one and worked on it for years, I’d definitely go with a pre 65 since these had two tone / two fabric interior and felt more luxurious higher quality

    The sunroof is a nice touch. I had a 1967 KG (here in Southern California), and the interior got pretty warm (hot!) in the summer.
    The body shape is very aerodynamic, so I couldn’t get much airflow into the cab; and it doesn’t have wind wings like my 1963 VW Beetle, so there’s no mechanism to circulate air in. I also had a 1964 Kombi, many years ago.

      You're absolutely right, the sunroof really helps with the heat

      Me either! Always dreamed of having or adapting one and found this top with a sunroof in Texas probably installed by the dealership since all the mechanism is Golde, pretty rare.

    Muy lindo tu coche. A mi me gustó todo, pero el estéreo en la maleta fue genial. Yo soy de Brasil y tengo un 69 rojo que ya llego a los 4 años de recuperación/personalización. No soporto más la espera para conducirlo. Su motor ahora tiene 1900cc y doble carburación. La transmisión fue cambiada por la de la Kombi/Combi. Los faroles originales cambié por unos que los imitan, pero permiten el cambio apenas de la lámpara en caso de quemarse y varias otras cosas, como las ruedas del 911 y un escape doble. También tiene aire condicionado.

    How can you have an air conditioner without a compressor? Normally, the A/C in these VWs doesn't work very well and draws a lot of power away from the engine.

    • @sergioromero2k
      @sergioromero2k  8 місяців тому

      I run it with an electric compressor, draws a lot of energy so can’t really run it at night with headlights on

    Somebody is going to rear-end your exhaust and it doesn't look right. Find something else that doesn't project out the back. I think Monza has a nice sounding system.

    The OEM supplier of sunroofs for VW's is Golde. Golde's design is instantly recognisable and the design of yours doesn't match the design of theirs. There's a chance that their design has evolved and you have to remember that the bodies were built by Karmann at Osnabrook, nort VW at Wolsburg.
