looks like most parts just bolted over top, so maybe most of original ghia is still hiding underneath (lets hope)

What boggles the mind is not so much why somebody would deface a rare car, but why somebody would want their car to look like that in the first place.

What stupid people (like that idiot who made that car) is that there is cool originality, and stupid, REALLY STUPID originality.
:puke:repuke:puke:repuke:puke:repuke:puke:repuke
Thats just stupid originality. It doesn't look cool. It looks like a crap waste of space. Buggies are cool, bajas are cool, but that just isn't. Its
a useless shape, has no reason to look that way, just added wait to the sides etc. Its not decorating it, its making it look silly. Added features for
decoration can look cool, but that just isn't.
Sorry if I have affended anyone who does, its just my opinion.
Its not cool funny, its "Ha ha, what a loser" funny. ha ha.
[I suggest we destroy it!!!!].
To sum it all off, we all don't like it, & no, im not pesemistic, (if thats how you spell it), im just honest.
