I'm a bit jalouse! I never get something like that from my parents  . Looks like you got your hands on a verry healthy Ghia! Much better than mine  . Is the dashboard cover orriginal? Cause I have to find one for my Ghia and want to know which one I have to look for (mine is a 6/1969, model 68). Good luck, you're allmost there! gr Wout |

Just wondering if you where going to save the paint you scraped off for another project? Have you started blocking yet? Looks good, Becka should love it. Maybe teach cathleen how to sand!

She has chosen regatta blue for the color, I stripped the doors, hood, and decklid yesterday. All in great shape except the decklid, it feels like a bag of marbles. So if anybody in so cal has an original paint lid, let me know

Good luck, you're allmost there! gr Wout no its not original, its been recovered. ive talked to karmann ghia parts and restoration and they claim theirs is 99.9% spot on, perfect fit, show quality, and for the price it better be or its going back |

yea, saving the paint for the bus, blocked it with 80, reprimed, block again with 150, reprime, and its ready for 400, but now ive got to bring the doors and hood up to this stage, plus the trunk, jambs, engine compartment, and wheel wells need to 320'd so when yo get here its ready to go. good thing im unemployed, or this thing would never get finished  |

that and a very wise man once told me" paint only sticks as good as what its stuck to". and the only way to find out is to get rid of any re-sprays and start fresh.having danny gabbard as your best friend is a blessing and a curse, your cars come out bitchin, but man do you put the work into them |

Becca turns 16 on may 13th, next race is bugorama in sacramento. Hopefully it will be done, then I need to figure out how to get her car and mine up there so Kathleen and her can dice it out on the 1/4 mile  |
