Ghia update - the dark one

I got new door handles to the 1960 stroker-turbo-ghia,
These are the early ones that are harder to find, but www.karmannghia.com came to help! Thanks for TJ! - hopefully the great wizard in kangasniemi, finds some time to this project, because i would love to take the car to the strip and to the cruise nights in helsinki.
I also got the missing meters, sidetrims...but some minor parts are still coming from summit racing, and i would need a new muffler...

porsche 911 rsr - big & small shoes


these look great, 235 & 275 x 17"


ok, too high, maybe ill try to photoshop it a bit...




way too high, great for paris-dakar maybe...


i like the looks, something a bit different...

Still alive!


I survived of the open heart surgery, and i am feeling better now, its been 3-4 weeks of it and have to say it was worth the hassle! Did you know that this is the one of the most expensive surgery in usa? It costs something like 350.000 usd?! Crazy thing... Im happy to live in finland! :-) it costs in here 391€... Think about that! :-) ... So how this relates to this picture? Well i guess that i might be trying to race my ghia with this "accelerator" in the summer! .... Hope so!

Shit happens - again & again




Now i know how the "stroke" feels, as i got one, it was looong lasting. But hey, i'm still around,
Im again hospitalised, and for the moment im waiting for a heart surgery... It should happen in a week, :-) the last 2 years has been very sad & dissapointing and i have had a lot of heart problems, but in the examinations, i have been told that i have no problems with my blood circulation...
Well after the stroke, i came to the hospital and they checked me in endoscopy... Badabing, 3 veins 90-95 % blocked... So now i will stay at the bed! Till they open my chest and stops my "pump".
After that... Who knows
