Here is a shot of the driver's side. I choose Empi's 8 spoke wheels and I cleaned up the original bumpers, later I changed them to Billet

It's the most amazing VW Karmann Ghia I've ever seen. A complete restoration with a modern twist. The exterior, interior and engine came together very nicely. Awesome work, creativity and original ideas. Nothing has be left out, very nice details all over including the steering wheel, shifter knob, visors and the wheels. 5 stars.
