porsche club 40-years






























GHIA vert picks from the cottage.

taking it easy, fixing the ghia, and having fun. great thunder storm, approx. 30 liters of water inside of the car, but who gives a rats ass..., sun comes after the rain, and the sky is the limit for some new ideas... :-)










there´s time for the stress ....and its NOT NOW ;-)

dyno shoot - coming up!



video coming in these days... 
the youngster didnt like the awfull sound of 
88x101,6mm rollercammed screamer.... 
but i did!




our latest paruzzi AD!



the Vert needs my attention again. it will need, dropped & narrowed front axle, porsche pattern disks in front, 5-130 mm to the rear also, new bearings, new brakes, and those chromed 17" Foochs wheels. the ghia slides like a train in the highway, but there could be a bit more style...and becuse of me, first the attitude then the ... REST ...








i got new GREAT GHIA repairpanels from the paruzzi boys, and have to say that this is not some china junk, its real steel, have to locate a fast/good welder though... what else? a new retro sound radio... not installed yet, but im working on it... picks coming later, while i get myself on thr right mood to do some assembly. i guess that in these days.  :-)

the BAD... ok, i tryed to get parts from Keiteleen kone, drive to the yard...but 3 times - no service, no answer, no info....that does it for me. ...then to the motonet vantaa to get parts, ok, in lohja i got brake cylinders but not in helsinki or vantaa... :-(

so when i will try to get more parts in the sametime. from paruzzi.fi.
thanks guys. this works.

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...

ghia convert - on the run.















after many hours of work in kuplapaja, the vert woke up, and wanted home. ok, there were many isuues still to fix but... i wanted to take the "tub" home. for the cruise, it could´nt have been better... it was a warm summer night and i felt great! i also drove the car to our cottage, lost the brakes too, so i had to fix them before driving any further... there was 4 bars air in the tyres so the suspension felt a bit tough, ...and looks like i have to buy also new shocks, to get a better ride.
