Your car is beautiful. I like the attention to detail and especially the personalised touches like the console (where did you find that?) and the bullet style mirror on the door - which I'll try to install on mine later in the week - and the wheels. We don't have as many Ghias here in NZ as you guys over there, but we do get them into the classic car magazines every now and then. Like here:

I think even a purist can not deny that you car has been modified with class and taste. Hopefully I will eventfully meet the same expectations someday whenever I finish.

Hi Ricardo, I just tried sharing this link. It looks like there are issues with you photobucket.

A very beautiful build... Taking notes and following the foot steps in many aspects of your Ghia. Well done.
