Title: 1957 Karmann Ghia
Post by: guillaume on December 30, 2010, 11:37:11 am
While I'm working on my 1961 ragtop bug, T-Fabs found me a super clean 1957 Karmann Ghia in So-Cal.

And I can drive it ;)

Here is a pics of it when he found it :

When I received it in France :

And some shots after chaging the wheels :

Next step will be to weld another rear driver side wing as it was smashed and lowred the front.
But for now, as long as it runs good, it's fine for me  ;)

Thanks for the kind words :)

Nico, I've added The shifter and the plaques.
The Ghia was already equiped with the Dehne gauge.
