ghia update!!!! - Darth Wader is back!

The ex-sony-explod - ghia is back! 

and it looks pretty awesome! the (weld magnum) wheels looks good, 

with that black paint...as the red-white (TMI) interior,

and the oatmeal (www.paruzzi.fi) carpeting. 

the wheels ... looks almost too good to drive in the streets?

mighty fine ... wow!

Paruzzi oatmeal carpeting, Gene Berg shifter, 

...but othervise mostly stock-look.

is it running? or the tires have to be smoking... :-)

looks great! that thing doesn´t need a wing.

ok, the tires are a bit skinny, but so what. 

theres some hardcore technic in here!

the seats are loose, and the door panels are off.

the stance police "sez" HELL YES!

ghia cabrio project.

it looks great! have to think a minute though...

of the head lights... to use these, or buy some repair-

panels, and use KG headlights? 

in the rear it doesnt need much, at least, no old style

rear lamps, these are great in here.

a guy with a die grinder and a 

welding equipment is still needed. :-)

here... a M3 bmw "thing" is needed...

and some air ducts...

Duck tail?

looks like at least 150 hp is needed

or more?

 cambers are still "out"

i just love this stance / look now. especially the rear... 

the black ghia update - from laitinen motorsport zentrum

yep, i couldnt make it there due to my illness, but mika my friend did, and took some picks, and also his daughter Linnea. thanks to them. i wanted to go to get some wibes of this, but its a looong drive for me, and looks like 60-70 kilometers drive is all i can do for now. long story but my heart sarchoidosis is giving me hard times. and especially the medication which is anything but nice... my feet are like balloons, and some fluids are coming through the skin...not so nice. + i´m totallly exhausted. but hey, lets concentrate to the dark side. :-) the black ghia. heres the engine, which will go to the engine bay, some brake parts, some picks of the engine cooling, yes the supaflows are wassercooled, and what else? well some brackets for the coil over suspension etc... wow. the body needs to go back to the painter, and the interior will be take its place in future... Pekka is the master, have to say.

lugnuts that looks great. :-)

minor setbacks with some tyre fitment,
but, what the hell, there´s coil-overs.

nice cable setup for the  carb. 

a breather that looks 220% business.

the chief himself. - and the mighty power house

discs with three bolt patterns, porsche, chevy and 5-100 mm

air vents for the wassercooled heads...

ghia vert - www.paruzzi.fi to the resque

ONE STOP SHOP- paruzzi.fi!!!

I have to admit, i got the sheet metal in the picks, new narrowed adjustable front axle, + loads of parts brake & suspension parts, roof parts, etc...all in one shop, (Heck even the seats are from paruzzi...) which makes life a lot easier than drive everywhere collecting for every different part, so the project might upgrade pretty fast...this way. and the service is just great!

For the Ghia, i was bout to slam it, but the first thing, that came before that is to repair the windshield wiper system. ok, i took my iphone, googled "ghia 1966 wiring diagram" and there i was, repairing the wiring of the ghia, and damn, i got it even working, (maybe the medication works partly to me, normally i would give up in these things so much more easily). 

ok, after that i thought i could make the garage useful by cleaning it, and that took a bit longer than i expected, BUT it´s getting there. i will make it. and then the front axle will come out pretty fast. and i´ll put some nice new stuff for the inspector to see. hope he likes it. ;-) ...
