Hi all I have a 61 ghia that needs major rust repairs and I'm considering replacing with another body that requires less repairs. What model bodies will fit ?

Any Karmann Ghia body will fit. there is a small mod required at the rear shock tower body mount between very early and all the later bodies (same as the beetle of similar years) but this is easily overcome.

How much rust?

good to know, thanks

Quite a lot in all lower areas and still discovering. Also has flared guards and intakes that are rusted. As I don't weld i'm looking at replacement of the body as maybe being a more cost effective option
