Reply to "My 1971 Karmann Ghia Project"

FYI, I have been looking for a GHIA on and off for a while but Stan is right there are very few that do not need a complete rebuild.  

You can find some but in reality if your OCD like me you know that the small amount of rust and issues that for some seems very liveable with,  is a can a worms if you start to open it up and will require you to pour in thousands.  Rich has been fortunate to have found his guy who is obviously a kindred spirit doing the work. 

Most cars need new pans and the body needs to be lifted to get at the rust.   

So pan replacements are not cheap nor easy to do even if they can be done with the body on which to me is not the real way to do it...

The unfortunate situation,  is that you have to breathe reality into the number that they are asking for their cars.  

The education is painful for the seller, but it is a reality check which is hard to swallow for the dream car gone bad.   

 Just saying.
