The Ghia in the new issue of HotVWs is very clean. Resto/Cal, but clean.

final warning Ape......stay out of it. small nostrils.....not so intrusive on the lines....ok, i'll allow it. but not the bumpers...surely people will agree that an outlaw 356 looks best without bumpers....shows off the bodylines much better........? |

Great debate, pics with and without bumpers, I like both but think front t bars do nothing, offer no protection so why fit. The whole nostril debate has got me thinking as well, what do do, personnaly I think its a good dilema as they all look good if done right |

Surely the only Ghia is a low light And even they need bumpers, tried my t bars on my old low light and it looked wrong And yeah, we're a buckaroo club with big engines |

They are just a design feature... who needs fresh air anyway...? So now we are to remove all designe features? I like to think the opposite way. Start with the stock car, and alter/remove the things you want in order to serve the purpose you're seeking. Bumpers can be removed due to weight issues, same thing with rear seats, sound deadening etc, but pulling out your welder and removing nostrils, just because they are design features... I dont buy it :-) |

I made the switch from Beetles to a '64 Ghia in March of last year. I couldn't be happier. For me I wanted to do something different and yet I wasn't looking to get out of VW's. I thought about making a manx street/strip buggy, but thought better of it and bought the Ghia. Its a very original car with a well documented history. I've kept everything and will someday restore it back to stock. But for now I'm having fun. I run a 2054cc engine, IDA's, old school Lonnie Reed Wedge Ports and other goodies. Future plans call for wheels and my "big" motor. |

Here is my latest project. I know it will be a year or so before it hits the road. This is also my first ghia, so the assembly could get interesting. And the five spokes have to go.
