Hello all
I am new to ghias and have a few questions.
Is there suppose to be a inner fender peice that keeps mud and other debris from going towards the door?
Is there suppose to be a panel on either side of the engine compartment?
Is there suppose to be a gap between the rear seat back rest and the wheel well arch area?
I know this car is missing some parts and was wondering if any place other than KGP has parts for them, having a hard time finding interior for it.
The Ghia is a 65 and so far have found that it is beat up but absolutly no rust other than some small spots on the pan. |

Yes.

There is sound deadening there from the factory.

Better shoot some pics and put them up, you'll get more responses.

question 2 No vertical panels on the engine compartment although many people fabricate custom covers to hide the well area.

I think they did come with tar-board panels. |

Yes, it's so you can feel around without folding the seat down, and see if there are any kids hiding back there
Seriously though, the gap is normal. I only mention kids because my youngest likes climbing into the rear luggage compartment and pulling the seat up.
