Only decent pic of mine, makes it look better than it is, roll on summer Cool
nice ghia,what sunroof is in it

Its a britax sunroof, fitted in the early eighties in LA but needs a little resto, the guy before me fitted it with some heavy duty material and the weight ripped the lining, but it still fits real good - apart from when it cam flyin off at 80mph on the motorway Grin  it was the car equivelant of the guy with the hair in the hamlet advert Cheesy
must be cool to have sunroof in ghia,how come it flew off!!! Cheesy

That's a VERY good looking car Rocket Ron! I have to have a white looker one day!
Nice looking engine to, but why are the intakes so short? Could it be because the Type 4 produce so much torque from the get go?

I'm suprised Alex hasn't popped a type 1 motor in there Ron  Grin

he has tried but my budget is a little maxed out at the moment, new car early last year, extension at home and new business starting in 8 weeks doesn’t leave to much to spend on the bug at the moment.  Sad

Still, stashing away a few quid a month should see a nice new motor and trans for the car next year which would be cool.

I Just want it to see it finished now, although I think Alex doesn’t want to get it out of his workshop as he won’t have anywhere to put his cups on. I’ve joked I’ll have to buy him a coffee table when it finally leaves the shop. Grin

Perhaps you can all give him some stick to get it finished, still he’s probably to busy now doing personal appearances now he's a big TV star Grin Wink

Sarge, the bodyshop did a great job masking off your lenses for the paintjob!  But for future reference, the trims come off with one screw—you don't need to paint over them.   Grin

J/K!!!  Sarge's car is becoming one of my favorites.

And that 70s GTV is happening!  Love that it is a 70s car, and not earlier.

Here are a couple more of my faves - not so much the photos, but the memories of having my car at the DQ and Carlsbad.  If you have never read the story of our cross- country trip to Orange Cnty, check it out under "O.C. 2003 in the events section of Cal-Look.com.   http://www.cal-look.com/index2.html

Ahhh...... I`m in love! 

As always when I`m love I`m a little blind.... had a new look today and I`m still in love but this time I noticed the modern looking rear tires. If you had changed them to a more old-school looking tire your car would be dam close to perfect.
