In the shot with the three Ghias, thats Doug Mische (aka Crazy Pan Guy) down on the end with the long hair.
That first black Ghia with the semi-polished real EMPI 8's is stunning. I remember it from the magazines back in the day. Larry something wasnt it?

My opinion- I think Ghias and type 3's look shit without bumpers. Leave them on, but shave the guards clean. Shave the chrome, front emblem, rear script, and possibly the turn signals too. Removing the fresh air grilles tooks odd to me... it leaves too much metal on the front end with nothing to break it up. Since the Ghia is a coupe, I think it looks better with the suspension set a little lower and with slightly less rake than your standard cal look Beetle. Thats how I would do it  Thats the smartest thing youve said all week I agree 100%, gotta have bumpers and raking a Ghia is a silly as raking a 911  |

Thats how I would do it I'm with you 100% Zach. I kinda like the front with t-bars but they look crappy on the back and I'm not gonna mix bumper styles so it's blades with shaved overriders if I ever do a Ghia |

Wow, this is great! Keep them coming ! I must say these pictures have made me rethink my choice of wheels, Fuchs look great, but almost all Ghias I know of in Norway run them... Are the 8-spoke wheels in the pics mostly EMPI's, or maybe American Racing? What's the availability of these nowadays? (Excuse my ignorance on this subject, but I trust you all will wnlighten me and all others that dont have the knowledge) As I said, keep the pictures coming |
