This is my karmann ghia I bought her for $500 dollars, which needed alot of work such as a new front end due to water damage I welded on a new front end. now she is ready to get painted. I also had to take the body off the car in order to fix all of the rust. When I bought this car it didnt have much interior only two black seats. I had to replace the floor pans in the back. the sound system is all sony xplode speakers. two 6x9 in the back and two 5x8 in the front I will add more speakers later. I will upload more pics once i get it back from the paint shop.

The repair work looks amazing. It's great that you're getting it put back together, just a beautiful car.

Cool VW- sorry to see that it got smashed. Always loved the Ghias. I've got a dunebuggy that I've been messing with forever, built the VW engine myself. Keep workin on that Ghia!
