This guy has to much time and money.
Check out the engineering gone into this thing.

why oh why dont they paint it something decent??

The work in this

But what is the motor??
Pots are air cooled??
Overhead cams?? the belts??

Looks like twin superchargers to me

all that and still air-cooled...

Looks like it's had a respray from the 80's. I remember this being either a Hot VW's or VW Trends feature car with a different colour scheme. Got to love the old S&S quietpacks there.

Chris Addingtons Ghia if my memory still works....

very trick but agree that the paint actually detracts from it ... less is more dude!

that is nucking futts!
I cant beleive the work that went into the suspension.the paint job is tacky,1 colour wouldv looked way betterand what would make it sccchhhmik if it was parked in my garage.shiiiit!

its great to see individuality with in the vw community and a show car of that standard would be up there for summernats if it was here in the country no matter what colour it was ............ i love it

I must say, I certainly appreciate all the great work that has gone into this car. I guess when I look at any car, I am more looking for things that I like, and not whinging about things that I don't like. I would love to see the paint job in real life - I think it is the only way to form a definite oppinion, but if it still didn't do much for me, I would be looking at that interesting suspension, engine, and, well, nearly anything you look at on the car (at least, in the pictures).

oh the humanity

speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeechlesssssssssssss

I can't decide whether I like the paint or not but either way that thing is awesome as hell!!

ooooooooooooooo my god thats nice !!!!!

it needs a subaru but

Damm Shame about the graphics

i want!

anyone id the powerplant??

candy apple red would look the bees knees

a whole a forest of aluminium trees died to create that car...

the suspension is awesome. totally over engineered, but awesome. i'd love to see it driven in anger.

there has been a vw in the summer nats made the top 20 if my memory serves me.and he is a member of flat four it's called the billet bug he also took out something at maguirs come peter help me here

i like mine better.....

.....there's is too "LOOK AT ME!!"

Wow. The machine work on the suspension is awesome, if not a little chunky. Love the twin blowers. Hate the wheels and paint job and flush fit side glass though. What is it about karmann ghia showcars looking crap? Rex Webster built a yellow convertible one years ago. We saw it at summernats. Quality was excellent, but it looked like dog $hit with no roof and centreline wheels with graphics. Just my opinion.

I like that the discs are pretty much straight off the trans... makes me laugh, but looks cool. A forest of Alloy did die for this car, a moments silence please....

Yeah colonel, the inboard discs look cool. Like a jag rear end. RIP alloy forest......

Haha.

He also doesn't have an exhaust on there.... :S

Nevermind.. Yes it does...

hes a member on thesamba and had the thread on the new resto of it

there is a vid on youtube of the engine running at a show back in the 80s
it actually sounded like crap but then those duel lowmounts always do

Oh! my me . . . . sensational

F#@$!!!
That thing is horrible!
All that engineering, and a set of useless tyres are installed.*
Then, there is that hideous combination of purple paint, graphics and those wheels... f#@$!!!
That thing is horrible!

*The car is from the 1980's isn't it?
