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!

Darth waders ghia :-)

...just ready for the interior-shop...

...and now, its in the interior shop, 

this will be really prettyyyyyy!

or ...should we call it "urban-turban-ghia" ?

...the doctor evil is lurking out of the engine bay.

i wonder what the inpector will say? 

maybe it needs a layer of some thermo-tec?

ghia seat frame comparison - yikes!

the other is from the texas convertible, 

and the white one from finnish sedan ghia

well at least we got one missing adjusting bar from the cabriolet.

we dont need else. :-) vert donors....you just got to have ´em. :-)

weld magnum wheels - now with the skinnies...

Picked up my wheels from the local tyre shop AUTOTEK

Great and fast service, price ok, loads of nice wheels in the shelfs...

+ they liked my panel van. :-) so... go there if you want to get the job done.

friday clip! just great!

my porsche & KG - visiting kangasniemi.

we made a short visit to p.laitinen motorsport department.

i saw my ghia again... it looked pretty awesome and a bit dusted and dirty.
the KG is on its way to see some daylights maybe in 2011, but the porsche will be sleeping till the KG is back on the road.
i didnt remember how plentyof parts i do have at pekka´s place. and theres more to be in there, while i get my trans from rancho.
i forget to take one weld magnum III...but it can go in the same time i will get the tranny and some other stuff...
what was included was two 135 tyres, a carpet kit for a KG, and a bow with lauffer bros (vw paradise) autocraft 910 heads, haltech system, 101,6 cylinder set etc...

under the bonnet the KG was looking better than ever... strictly business... ;-)
my 2332cc turbo motor was also there...but its waiting for the trans.

rothmans racer - rust!

damn! we need help!!! some rust issues that needs to be fixed before the final check out.

the first that pays 350 e, will be the lucky new owner.

karmann ghia - cage

a race-monkey needs a safetycage, and that´s the next thing to happen. a full race cage for the future engine updates.
after that, it needs some painting. theres some spots that need more black ;-) mostly inside. i hope that you can see this at american car show 2010. :-)

bad karma - update

ZING ZING! looks pretty to me! boltpatterns for ...weld magnums (5-100) porsche 130
meooooowwww! and the bracket for the tranny. A1!

ghia update - welcome to the the dark side :-)

Maybe just beacuse the ghia is not in helsinki city for the moment, it takes giant steps, ...reincarnation is the word :-)
lots of parts coming from karmannghia.com & Custom & Speed Parts germany. The weld magnum drag wheels, are on its way to the ghia as well, but in back they need more work... and as you can see...in the front theres some things to cool that tiny little "1300cc" down. :-)
