My Ghia project

Post by superstar »

I can't believe the piece of scrap metal my wife found in her fathers barn for me to restore. The only piece of sheet metal that wasn't rusted through was the license plate and that was expired. I hope to have all the fabricating and welding done this winter so she will be ready for paint this spring.

I really like your front air dam/spoiler. It looks like it could have been factory the way it is integrated. :wink:

Thanks, the whole lower nose was rusted away and I had nothing to go on so I just started from scratch and this is what I ended up with. The air dam will be plastic sheet pop riveted on so it will deflect impacts on parking stones.

I don't see any braces for the body?...it may flex. Some have had door fitment issues when it goes back on the pan. I am EXTREEMELY jealous tho, I want a vert badly. Nice work super.

I think that if you made more you might find a market for them. Very detailed.
