gonnawaxu's 1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia southeast, MO Customized with Jensen Subwoofers, Jensen Amplifier, Sony Head Unit, Grant Steering Wheel, Jensen Tweeters, Custom Pedals, Custom Seats, Custom Shift Knob - 46 This is my car in progress. I bought this car in 2002 from a friend, at first I didnt even like it, but he had me drive it and then I had to have it. I gave $200.00 for 2 coupes (one with the motor/various parts out) a vert body (striped) and other numerous parts. I went to pick up the vert body but it was to late, it went to the scrap yard.

This car has all the trim removed the holes filled, and the front hood line smoothed.

Right now our car is in the body shop getting some work done and a fresh coat of paint and some killer clearcoat.

I raised it about 3 inches, i need to lower it a little now. I found out the vw suspension is ingenious.

So, me and my bro/inlaw rebuilt it. we had no idea about vw's. We got a crank out of the parts pile and a gasket kit and now it has a fresh 1600.

4-16-05, This weekend I installed a grant steering wheel, the stereo and did some misc. repairs.

This is the other ghia as it is now, It needs more body work than the other, but it still has potential.
