just pulled it out of the garage today for the first time since going under the knife! this is the second time I have owned this car! I first saw it for sale on the samba when chris seeger of L5-VW in oregon found it...but I was too late, frank matos of bremerton,wa beat me to it! he later called me when Seeger told him I was still interested in it, we struck a deal and it was mine for a few months. then, Barndoor Dave talked me out of it..I was sad to see it go but recently made a trade and it was returned to me!
this body is very straight for a ghia! It still has the original title and bill of sale from riviera motors and a huge stack of records, and the plate on it is the original one registerd to this car!! I also have all of the paperwork including the original recipt for the rajay kit! original rader wheels (thanx to everett), original rajay turbo kit on a 1600 single port! the crustiest of original cognac and beige grey paint! volksfab 4" beam, CB spindles, dropped 1 inner spline in the rear! I still have a few minor bits to finish before I can take it on the road! then, I will most likely post it for sale...

Are you going to leave the finish how it is? It would look sweet if you buffed it out a bit..

Cool car.

It doesn't even look painted to me, just 90% surface rust + a few spots of primer.

Your stinger(?) looks crazy low

it's not a stinger, it is the exit pipe for the rajay kit...unfortunatelly someone modified it with one of those 70's "megs" exhaust tips, I am looking for a "stock" rajay exit pipe:

I saw that posted in the gallery and was super impressed. With the patina, og raders, the rajay kit and that sweet stance, i think it's the perfect package. Thanks for sharing!

here is a interior shot.... I have not finished the engine install/detail yet, I am not shure what to do about the interior! I am thinking it would be sweet to fully restore the interior with WCC upholstery!!
but I think I am going to sell the car before that happens.

very coolio
you turned that around pretty quick - you can't of had it much more than a month?
i'd say keep the interior - or someone can replace with better originals as they find them

paint it? can i politely direct Ms. Priss to the patina thread on the split bus forum
