 |
|
A friend showed up, and we are getting some work in on the Ghia.
This is what we started with.
As long as I don't run out of beer.

Yes, It will probably attached later this week. Probably not finished, but will be fitted. We are going to repair some of the bondo, before that gets welded on. Use straightened pieces from the original clip, to patch the bondo areas of the reasonably straight one.
Cars DO rust in SoCal.

Right, a friend who just happens to have recently built a late notchback out of odds and ends is a good friend to have! |
Geez. Wish that friend had stopped at my place. I'm halfway between both of 'em.
Maybe when I get my car rolling again,,,,,,

Don, it has been at least 3 years, since I got the clip.
Today Bob spent most of the day fitting the clip, and repairing rust. Both on the original car, and the replacement front clip.
I was busy working on Blankmange's engine.
It runs.
My digital camera does not take the best video's.
