granted any accident looks bad, but this definitely looks fixable. may not be perfect but im sure if you got A LOT of time on your hands and a hammer and dolley set, you could buff that shit out easy... |

It hurts to see that happen to any ghia, much less a lowlight. Hope you can fix it and keep in on the road. _________________ 1966 Karmann-Ghia convertible |

I hope it cost him an arm and a leg. _________________ As they say, "You never know until you ask the question."

So after about a year and a half of just sitting in my parents back yard I am going to start the very slow resto. So today I removed the drivers side headlight bucket.

That sucks, so sorry to hear it You need to ontact Bruce if you haven't already, he has a ton of stuff.
I have a lowlight door (see below) that I got from Bruce, his stuff is super with little to no rust and wouldn't be too far from you. _________________ Near perfect Lowlight Ghia door for sale $80
