 |
|
Welp.... As much as I needed it, I have another POS
This 69 ghia.
Now, I know, I DONT need another car... but I miss my ghia and there's something about this bondo bucket wreck that I instantly loved. 
The car already runs, just needs a good tune up, but it seems to run great! It reaks of old gas and rats.... but thats A OK.
Ive started calling it BadEye because it has been NAILED in the front at some point....Which then busted all the bondo out of this Mario Machine.
The headlight aims at the ground and the blinker points to the median... its all good!
The BIGGEST Bonus ( Besides that it runs and has a title) Is the BADASSERY of the Biker Boi Console!
Fully equipped with three speakers, casette player AND an 8 track!\
Ive started cleaning it out rigging me up some pans.... I also screwed on the decklid rack from my ghia AND the Bird I had on the hood of the other Ghia.
Ca Cawwww beeotch!
PLANS call for:
- Tune up and etc...
- Brake Job
- Slam job
- Rim Job
- HEad Job
- Jobbi Job
- Rigg-a-tony of the floors
- MAKE that damn casette player work! 
- Drive the fuch out of it and run shit over
I will keep this shizzle updated as I fool with it....
Hopefully to be a hammnered driver before Xmas :thumb:[/quote]

My first VW was a 69 Ghia. Wish I would of kept it to this day. That was 18 years ago or so. Don't go restoring that thing, it has a lot of character just the way it rusts away!

Awesome!
I dont mind something nice and restored.... but I couldnt imaging diving into this car. It has rot and bondo everywhere
All of that will be much less noticable when its a foot closer to the ground though!

you thinking of converting it to wide 5? |
Nah... I like to embrace the Fatness
I was just joking on the Rim job part... I got carried away. BUT If I did find a nice ragged set of pedrini's or sprints or something, I would throw em on there!
