These were taken a few years ago... I'm trying to get it ready for Nopi in Sept. 2002... I'm still working on a few things... Maybe it will be ready this year...

I'm glad you find it a worthy VW, even if it is not a Passat! But it will literally blow the doors of any new VW

**SilverSpike, thanks for the props.. I hope to get it back mint soon....

A Karmann Ghia, that's what those are! Someone down the street from me has one of those and I couldn't figure out what kind of car it is. It's really beautiful. Theirs is a deep maroon with a tan top and chrome wheels. Very good condition. As a matter of fact these people ALWAYS have a new Lexus in the driveway and Benz and Rover. GS430, SC430, LS430, etc...I think they are a dealer.

Thanks for the pics.

Yeah a Karmann Ghia is an elegant and rare car... stock KG are extremely beautiful and timeless in their design too...

The next time you want a good deal on a Lexus, just go ask your neighbors!!!

Maybe I can steal a picture of it next time I am at home. It'll be a couple weeks though. It looks to be in excellent condition, but there is no garage to put it in.

Thanks, Johnny for the comments! It is a pleasure to work on because it is sooooooo easy to mod and do the work yourself... Just basic tools and a few cheap $20 manuals and you are off to VW air cooled bliss!!!

Are you driving the SC much in MI this winter?!

***LexRx, take a few pics for "The Ikon".. Ask them if they are going to sell it?

Ikon, here's the Ghia! It didn't seem like anyone was home so I didn't stop in There is a family in my neighborhood that owns a slick black Supra. I've been driving by often to catch them outside.

Ikon, those are Panasports on his neighbor's car, aren't they? That's a very nice example, whereas yours has a large injection of testosterone (oh, estrogen in your case Ikon). Had a friend that used to build up those VW cars, man, talk about bang for your buck, you can approach 200hp for easy money and have a painfully fast whip. So, you been trainin' for me Ikon? Hope your pumped. Have I told you mine's bigger than yours?
