Ratty Ghia

[mines13]

Picked this up the other day. 1970 VW Karmann Ghia. Car runs like a champ, but needs a bit of work like new floor pans and few rust holes on the body. Got new panels with the car so that was a plus. Other than that I like the car as it sits lol just looks so cool. My plans are just to build a nice cruiser lol. On the wall though about either bagging the car or static dropping it. The car is already lowered a few inchs on VW drop spindles. Well that's about it for now, I'll keep you guys updated...

looks awesome! I'm gonna tell you right now, when you're done cruisin' around in this badboy, I've got dibs. - please take me seriously.

just had to say it. anyways, after the rust is taken care of, I'd leave the patina & replace the roof rack with a wooden one. paint the wheel white & yellow lamin-x headlights. wrap the exhaust in white & consider it done.

so bad ass bud. hope you seriously enjoy this thang.

I love this car more than any I've had so far lol. Def gets stares and comments all the time lol

There's something weird about this one. I can't quite put my finger on it though, because usually I love KGs indiscriminately.

May be the rust hole by the door? Maybe the rack lol we have moved it up straighter than it was in these pics

[mines13]

Yea gonna leave the paint as is lol aside from fixing the rusted panels
