Newbie intro

Just wanted to follow proper forum protocol by introducing myself. I've been an on and off follower of the site. My father built himself a Ghia vert about 20 years ago and I've always had a softspot for them. Looks like I'll be picking up my first Ghia vert rust bucket tomorrow and look forward to making it my own, using TheSamba to help me along the way.

Welcome, we do expect pics!

The pics I have now are very poor quality. Should have more tomorrow. The body is in pretty good shape other than the rockers being shot and heater channels probably need replacing. But everything is there and she drives for under $500 so I don't mind the cost to get rid of the cancer.

Not as rusted as I was expecting. Comes with all her parts including a working A/C. Starts right up and drives.

Looks good though there are no pictures of the rust prone rockers and wheel splash areas.

What about the many missing bits, bumpers, grilles, glass, trim, electrics, top frame ...... etc.
Are they all in a box or must you source the odd bits as you progress?

Edit: Ah..... "Comes with all of her parts"
