Ghia update 5/2019

not the coolest looking lay-out, but theres a lot of parts in there.

there's not much of space for the air cleaner

one big step with this, i have now a new K&N air filter, 

not an easy task. check out the space ...

the ghia also starts pretty good, but i have to get the tailpipe done.

then i have to bleed the brakes once again. 

but hopefully a test drive - pretty soon.

check out my youtube channel... 

BAD ASS GHIA RUNS

German car show @ kangasniemi

We came to pick up mikas 1960 kastenwagen from pekka laitinen's place, and mika' s son casimir bought his first car, a wbx bug! Now we are learning him to drive a vw lupo in the cottage. Its a great trip. I saw my dear project cars, and drove the wbx bug. Let the picks tell the story...

veljekset hämärä - strikes the karmann ghia!

heheh, ok, this time i got things a bit forward... 

in the "no cuts – no glory" way.

one rear valance got out of the way :-) 

and i tryed the pop-up a bit higher, 

but it needs a bit tweaking, welding and a lot of magic. :-)

it looks promising though... i  also started to lower the rear, 

but the bolts are pretty tought to open, when your 

muscles are 50% of the old ones. ;-( 

i also took one old front light to get the some mock ups, 

and i have some ideas of some smaller details too..

what would look also cool... but that comes later...

super solid karmann ghia - coming to Finland!

this is what we bought to my brother !

beuatifuuuuuuulll...

Little update of my things... my health

OK, after a got out of the meilahti hospital, (2 weeks in wires) from the heart diseace department...  in a much better condition - but 24 pills a day, plus my normal medication... :-( the cancer diagnose was not correct, what i have is a heart sarcoidosis, but lets not stick to that, lets move on, i can cope the pills, and future, but now i feel better, and that great. ok, i´m not totally well, but maybe some day. :-)

there was also someone that wanted to buy my panel van, while it stood on front of the hoospital...

My little co-pilot was not happy that dad will stay so long in the hospital, so now i will spend a lot of time with JIMI. the boy is just sooooo great as a 4 -years old motorhead can be. :-) and boy do he like the cars and bikes? .... to be continued...
