karmann ghia 1960 - the super solid ghia part II.

 My turn to be the "stunt-man mike", 
and to drive the ghia, from the customs, to home. - to saukkola -
and back with the panel van... some 320 kilometers...
the poor ghia, was a bit frozen, and pretty much covered by humidity...
but othervise, after a bit of towing, it started, and run pretty well!
the 1100cc engine, runs like a gazell in the highway, 
70 miles per hour....no problem.

the chassis is the best so far that i´ve been driven, 
soft but stiff, goes well in the corners, and silent.
even there some marks of the 51 years of use, i have to say, 
that this ghia is a nice driver, and a beautifull car.
the interior needs a bit of attention, but it will be awesome, 
i´ll give thumbs up for  this one!
the radio didnt work, but there was a barbara streisand 
cassette in the glove box, and some letters too, :-)
heh, one thing that matters is the blinker switch, 




it needs some attention. ...lets see what comes next?

veljekset hämärä - from the darkness to the light!

thanks to my brother arttu, i GOTS lights again!!! woohoo!
and the van starts also from the ignition switch!!!
i was soooo happy, to get help to the electric problems!
the help came from "saukkola city"
... now i can go to the inspection... :-)
well, the master paln is to put a diesel-eberspärscher heater...
it will make a sauna, of the panel, but i really need some heat to the panel.
its getting cold. ...ok ... somewinter tyres will be also handy.
