taking a lead from the split-bus boys (Original Paint...Lets Talk Patina.), how about a patina photo thread for ghias?
read skim's first post for the idea
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=104334
here's a graphite silver ghia
sun has really caught one wing, and one half of the bonnet
driver's door has faded through to the primer all the way down

Here's my *next* project.
I'm still searching for either a set of vintage Boge or Armstrong shocks for it... please pm me if you know of any available
Otherwise, I have a whole bunch of original Speedwell goodies for it, og BRMs, Restall seats, Maico brakes, etc. etc. It will get painted before it sees the streets again though. _________________ Sounding like a broken record as to why You should be measuring protein during harvest in order to better your agronomic practices. |

Ok, I'll play. While not 100% patina, it is 95% patina. (Bet you can't tell which part has been painted without looking at my gallery pics).

in the world of antiques, usually original patina increases the value of the object, how ever in the 1st two post I would say repainting would increase the value!! |

Don't be lazy paint your ghia. Ghias don't pull it off like buses do. |
