Could you possibly post a clearer picture of that Hurst Karmann Ghia bumper guard?
A picture of the matching rear bumper and guards would be awesome too, if you have one.

Thanks.

BTW, best of luck with your rebuild/repairs - looks like your off to a great start.

ill try and get some this weekend I have yet to see a rear installed on a car

Wow that's amazing that I found it. It is in Arizona still down over by 43rd avenue and bell road. My friend Rob owns it now and he bought it year about ago 8/16/2012. I helped him put a 1641 turbo motor in it and he has started to drive it around lately. If you want to send me your number and you guys can talk about it. It sucks what happened to your ghia , the guy who owns the chop top now actually owns a ghia too haha Cool

Is that a practical height to operate? Sure, it looks cool but you'd have to change the world before you could enjoy life.
