I would say that Brad from Concept Coach Works dosent have much hair left
some great shots there of his workmanship is it going to be fully restored or slightly modified ???
dont think i could ever own a Ghia too many repairs for me
|
The KG will be slightly modified, full restorations are 100K+... Paint is next - Anthracite grey with blackout bumpers etc, I've got some nice 17"
AirEvo's for it, Leons motors has built me a 2054, Willem at Platinum will be trimming the interior in red leather and it will be low and lean...
Something like the pic attached.. but convertible!

Seeing your going to slightly modify the Ghia Do you have original headlights there very hard to find these days
Ive seen a Ghia done using Beetle headlights cutting the bucket into the guard at the same angle as the windscreen gives it a great look

If you need any of that 'W' shaped rubber seal, that fits between the front apron and the inner guards, I have some...
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
