Re: At last the old girl is home Ghia build
Could quite posibly be, I've been told that before which leaves me wondering what to do with it, restore or trick??fig wrote:Looks like early rear and late front?
I need some bits & pieces but I'll have to take stock still, if I'm trickin it out I wont need many of the original stuff like the left rear window at the moment, I have the bumpers, headlights & trim, and so on, have to decide what I'm going to do stilljolas wrote:Cool !

Re: At last the old girl is home Ghia build
Have come to a decision mainly due to my boy's influence, we're gonna TRICK it He's so in love with the tricked Beetle that we decided it would be good to hang around in two tricked card, he's only 14 now so we've got some time on our hands, they'll both be turbo'ed of course and I'm looking forward cruizing around with my son in cars that we both love, even though they're not restored, but anyway, he was inspired by Driftz's Baked Bean and we'll be trying to do as good a job he did.
