....that thing looks like it needs a LOT of TLC, maybe even tear it down and start over from the lug nuts up. :rolleyes:

[YELLAHEEP]

Huh?

"body and glass are good- body primered and ready to paint. interior is all torn out, needs rear seat, door panels, etc. Rusty pan panels were replaced, as were flexible brake lines...."

Sounds like a solid project to me - especially considering how rare these are.

I just know that JJ has a Super Beetle rotting away in his garage that could supply the engine and other essentials...... :thumbup:

Besides...... How cool would a Ghia like this be?
(Yeah, I know, JohnJohn isn't that cool.......)

If you bolt in one of these, You won't have to buy a back seat...Oops, my bad! It's not an LS1.

The Karmann Ghias were cute lil' cars back in the day.

[YELLAHEEP]

Ah yes, the infamous 427 powered Pantera. Too bad they're Ford powered.

Who else woulda known that from the picture?

But hey...... an LS1 mated to a '60's era Toronado trans axle would be kinda cool........

[philip_g]

he already has a ghia

[YELLAHEEP]

he already has a ghia

No kidding Sherlock..... he forced that down our throats already...... :laugh3:

Figured he'd like a hard top to go with that convertible. And Ghias are cooler than Super Beetles. Not by much, but if ya gotta cruise around in a go-cart with a funny shaped body on it, it should be a Ghia.

:D

Like I said; "rebuild from the the lug nuts up" everything needs to be touched, JohnJohn appears to be SO busy he doesn't have time for another project, let alone stopping by and posting in a thread calling him out. :D

Uh......... dayum. That's pretty trick. I dig the 3rd brake light hidden under the rear hood vents.

[ChiXJeff]

Lessee......... drive wheels in the right place, check. Engine in the right end, check. What's not to like? Oh, and can't forget the STICK SHIFT!!!!!

During my last days at Pfizzer/Pharmacia outside of Chicago a few years back, one of the women down in the InfoLibrary had a Karmann Ghia fully restored. Complete disassembly, repair, paint, overhaul, lots of $$$. I never saw it in person, but she showed me pictures of this gorgeous medium blue car. I've regretted not seeing it in person.

I should have driven by in a car he doesn't know in case he was ACTUALLY working and snapped a pic today :spin1:

[JohnJohn]

FU guys :D I just haven't had anything to work on the last few years. Yes when I'm at your homes...I watch...like most of you do at my place, if you even come. It's understood.

I pulled that Ghia motor in about 2 hours. From lifting the hood to on the floor. Everything is labeled and sorted. Waiting on parts, then paint and it goes back in. I will post the plans to put it back together so you guys can get your fricking cameras ready.

I'm glad I can still easily amaze all of you after so many years. :spin1:

[YELLAHEEP]

I'd tell Justin and JJ to friggin' get a room........ but neither are on line right now...... so I imagine they've already hooked up and are in the throws of sweaty man-love.

I'm afraid to call either of their cell phones right now........

:puke:

[jrsxj98]

Oh come on Troy you know you were there helping JJ find that phone.

I now regret my decision to come back and check on where this thread has gone!:wierd:

[JohnJohn]

I pulled the firewall boarding out this afternoon. Hammerited the whole engine compartment. I tossed some fresh paint on the shield skirts too. Tomorrow afternoon/night I will probably put in the engine gasket and new firewall matting. Anyone wanna stop by?...more than welcome.

I also put the Fabtech bumper on the JK today. Grabbing a winch and winch plate tomorrow sometime. That thing really needs 35s now.

[philip_g]

I can if you need a hand. Looks like I'll have to watch out for my cornhole.
