-Decklid (Found)
-Engine compartment section (Found)

I will update all progress as I go along.
Enjoy

I got used rear glass with rubber & "C" channel molding 56-66 R950 (rubber is usable but not perfect)

Re: Helena..my 1960 VW Karmann Ghia
Congrats looks like a good find.
At least you can see the condition. That is way better than a 5L overhaul.
Enjoy the build hey
