Just testing the waters here but does anyone know of, or ever seen a fiberglass kit for the KG? I have seen fg kits for the bug but not the KG...

A long time ago I saw f/g replacement Ghia bodies in a US mag - dunno if they are still in production. As for 'add-on' Ghia body scoops, side skirts, wide fenders etc. - you can't be serious, right?

I think he is talking about a whole body to put onto a beetle chassis

Problem is that a Ghia chassis front is a lot wider that a Beetle chassis, so it will need some serious modifications

ANYTHING can be done in fibreglass 
Whilst the Ghia body will be relatively affordable, the building cost wil quadriple with original windows, trim, bumpers, interior etc. Best would probably be to get a complete rusted steel Ghia as donor?

The Brazilian Puma was originally designed for a Ghia chassis, but the SA versions have been modified for a Beetle chassis, with some f/g panels filling the 'gaps' on the chassis
