Type 3 Ghia - T34

Very rare. Maybe 10 in SA.
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

Hang on now you have a problem with painted bumpers and decals on the doors on a "rare" but not with a "rare" car with a butchered chassis?
How does that work?

That car would look so much nicer with a tasteful lowering job. Slamming it like that is just not cool. And you run the risk of ripping the front frame head off and mangling it. So in my books, Ron's razor is way cooler..

Everybody its personal preferences eben.. And its airride. not butchered suspension (altough some call it that).

Decals and ricer mags belong on a citi or sooped up Taz imo, but all to its own.

Yes.. the escra's are cool.. had a quote landing them in sa for around 1200$ inc shipping.. (around 10.000 rand) :bn:
