In the beginning there was a guy and a dream to restore a VW Karmann Ghia....Having failed to restore a rust bucket KG as a 15 year old, I guess I never lost the bug.
Now some 20 years later, more wisdom, know-how and money.(especially the money, if you've seen the rust on older VWs) One day, while surfing EBay, I realized you can get any car from anywhere, at anytime. So my first purchase ever off EBay was a 1969 VW Karmann Ghia convertible from California. In 2005, I had it shipped to Louisville, KY. I t
inkered around with it for 3 1/2 years. Now 3 kids later, I decided to take the plunge and restore it to a lean, mean, driving machine . Last fall, I stripped everything except the transmission and suspension. Now, it is at the body shop to remove all the cancer(rust) and get it looking beautiful again. I will try to post pictures and updates along the way.Ghiaguy
