Itinerant Air-Cooled

Its good to see another Ghia being fixed up with out being slammed!

Now that its spring time in Seattle and temps hit 70F I have the Ghia out driving around with the top down. Everywhere I go it draws attention and questions about what it is.
It is scary to drive it on the freeway with all these damn huge SUV's darting back and forth without turn signals!
Hopefully I can take some time next year to repaint it and repair the rust is has plus removing the bondo that is sure to be under its awful black paint. I plan on pulling the engine when I am
back in august and resealing it and powder coating all the tin.

That's a purdy one! Betsy's paint is pretty bad too. She looks good on the passenger side from 20', but I'd like to get her redone someday. Maybe next tax day.

Worth doing right. Old World Karmann craftsmen you know . . . make Maaco look bad.

But Maaco is such a bargain! They don't even charge you to paint the seals!
