Ok, I'm going to sell the ghia.
1971 karmann ghia
GT gearbox
mid mount
kafer brace
new beam
new steering box
new brakes
braided lines
copper hard lines
come to think of it, all the mechanicals have been replaced.
1600 engine, ported heads, high lift rockers, heavy duty valve springs and steel pushrods
Turbo'd, new recon modified renault carb
new recon T2 turbo
braided fuel lines
all the fuel pump/pressure regulator etc were all new.
profesional built turbo conversion
Ratty but solid ghia. All channels, floors etc totally solid, all inner wings etc are great.
Only issues, ratty paint, bottom front of front wings need work.
rear arch has had repair panels let in but not amazingly. Ive took the filler out, just need to work the panels a bit then re-skim.
Interior is a little shabby, recaro seats, but no door cards. I have some I made but they need covering.
It really is a nice solid car and mechanically great.
Running a bit rich at the mo as I havent RR'd it yet, better rich than melt a piston ;D
Running 12psi at the mo and its proper quick!! like scary quick, like be carefull when you put your foot down quick, put it this way, from 40mph it out accelerated a VW phaeton 5L v10 TDi ;D
Price, £5k, it owes me alot more!
Ive been building dubs for 13 years and anything this cars needed its had. Was going to sort the bodywork and paint it, but i think its time to move on.
