Looks ok....
would make a good baja:vader

bugboyz - December 24th, 2005 at 02:11 PM

looks like rubbish
flares, non og dash gauges rough face
jus a quick coat of silver dont make a car
the panels not all there
the trim old hack the parts crap for it
its worth about $5 custom pig and redo it right
as for the top a bit of vinyl an straps aint good

I hate rough cheap jobs

Yep, Thats a shocker!
another Ghia bites the dust.

What's better, to see it sent to the crusher or put back on the road a little "Different"...
I think it looks good and he's obviously done a fair bit of work to it.. (maybe the roof had all but rusted itself off....???)
If you guys could see some of the standard (unmodified) ones that I tow around, that should have gone to the scap yard years ago, (doors hanging off, gaping rust holes, painted with spray cans) you'd be able to appreciate this one for what it is...
Shall we get it and Baja it Moose...????:P

WA Volksrodder - December 24th, 2005 at 05:23 PM

Ohh yeah, it aint worth what they're asking...
But it's not fit for the crusher yet either...

So bugboyz, you seem to be a bit intense about this. Do you have an interest in the sale? Know the seller, perchance?

I think this car has its good points and l ots of bad
being over priced will keep the values up good for business LOL
but it does worry me how much bog is in those flares
the rest is a bit worse for wear
a lot of elbow grease it could look ok for what it is and would cost a lot more to make it right but its only
a chop top coupe not worth as much as the sellers says
Yes real verts are going up all the time in any cond so long as there real convertibles
this one isnt ....... thats his point i guess
and going buy whats needed to finish you best of going a buying a real ghia vert

did you all happen to notice the welded up bumper
what a waste

Merry christmas
