Here are some of Luis’ kits installed:
please don’t tell me we have MONTHS till we get them mats!!!!!! 8-(
Luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.👊
Sounds like Luis is going to start making the mats again in about a week. He’s posted the order numbers in the sequence they were ordered, so Juan can check against that to see how far out his are from getting made. Hopefully you’re just looking at a few weeks.

Thanks Pete for the information, my order is in the 5th block,.. I hope Luis starts shipping very soon,… 👍👊😀
Fitting chrome door handles today.
so you received the rechrome parts,.. 😀😀😀😀😎,.. I`m excited to see the wheels with the hub caps and rings,…. the door handles look nice chrome,… 👏👏👏
Not all of the chrome. Just the door handles came back.
I am having problems with the lock cylinder retaining screw. The chrome plating damaged the tiny 2.5mm threads. I ordered a special tap to clean them.
We also received the brass horn contact ring today.
looks like more door handle work… I bet that tiny tap came in….. 😎 Doug is here to rub out the wrinkles… 😎 and help go forward with this project!
Luck is when preparation and opportunity meet.👊
Sound perfect,.. more work today 👏👏👏👏
What a beautiful car! Wish my 56 looked half that nice.
But then I don’t have a quarter of the time and money into it…
2.5mm tap did the trick. Door handles ready to install.
Rear defrost tube also installed today.
Wow, perfect job Franz,… 👏👏👏🤙
I thought we had 58 door stops. Looks like this car has some of the earliest later type door check straps. Starting in 59.5. We need to order kq-837-25k from hog
56-57 like beetle
58 spring and roller type
59.5-74 rubber strap and pins.
Thanks for the information Franz,… I`m totally convinced to restore a KG is sooo difficult, many details and there is a few places where you can find the parts.
Have a Good day everyone 👍😎
