For all you people who own a baja type 34 ghia, this is how to fix it😂

Everything was buttwelded inside and out, the front arch shape was not quite the same as a normal type 3 so i had to alter it a little, NOTE, this was welded, ground and etched, it will need more metal planishing to finish it off but you get the drift!I used sections from a notchback i wrecked.
