Started on a Karmann Ghia build a while ago...  Running a Type 4 engine from a Revell vanagon.  Firebird wheels, coated with yellow and orange candy for a gold anodized look.  Paint on the pan...  Porsche highback buckets, I just love them. |

 I've always had a weak spot for oxblood interiors, proper and elegant, yet exclusive. |

 A Porsche donated its gearstick too, feeling a bit more luxurious with the leather boot....  A coat of primer...  On the roof too but it didn't like the primer and developed a lot of fine cracks...   Could save it with some wet sanding though.....it doesn't shine too much through the paint now. |

 Painted the body in Mercedes Benz "Astralsilber" and it turned out OK. Silver will seldom get any depth so I doubt I will polish it, a little wax will do.  Dashboard, I don't know if it should be upholstered or not but since this is not a stocker, I did so anyway, looks more exclusive. Also I found a fitting steering wheel in the parts box, and fitted it with a wolfsburg badge on the horn button.  Some detailwork on the rest of the interior  Close to final assembly now.....totally dechromed, only black trim.  A not too good picture from behind... |
