although its not a buggy
a few have asked about my new prject
Gunter the Ghia
he is coming along well here is an update of his rebuild
the last few weeks have been spent on body repair
this is my first time to do body work I belive I bit off a pretty good chunk to learn on
heere we go
first is what I started with
found the trunk got it bolted up big pain in the
so that i could find a good starting point for fit of the largest section
on to the outside of cutting up the old body to get the rear quarter section
the replacement was in poor condition as well only able to use the upper sections
next came the lower portions new panels from motor works fit well
once those were in place I could start on the inside to see if it all fits
there was allot of trial and eror fitting up to this point
the inside was off by about an inch or so so out came the bottle jack to push the whole inner fender area back
after looking at the whole thing I assume this car was hit from the back on that side so I found the pinch points worked the back out to a nice fit
then tacked it all together
still have a long way to go but has been fun so far
on to the front lower spare tire area that will be the fun part LOL
this car has so many lines and curves it aint funny
if it turns out well it will be a great day to say I did it myself
feel free to look over my WWW photo bucket site then into ghia and Gunter for the whole process so far
