1961 Ghia Coupe............I asked forever ago, but ended up putting the car in storage where it's been for 2.5 years. It's coming out in May, so putting together a parts list for a transaxle and engine upgrade...

Sorry mate, missed your previous post. 👍

I'm not sure if it will clear or not.

If you can get a straight piece of rod (cut broomstick!) from the shock towers to near your gearbox cradle then it should fit.

I'm currently out of stock of all kits, and would need to have at least orders for 10 kits before I will be making any more. So if anyone wants one please post on here your interest. 😎

Ok Ok, due to demand I will make some more 😍 🤪

Price will be $595 for the 5 bar setup and $459 for the 3 bar. (this will be the new price from now on)

If anyone wants a set I will need payment up front and it will take around 3-4 weeks to manufacture. (plating etc takes a while to get done)

I need a minimum of 5 orders...............so please pm me asap if you want one 👍

Cheers
