Wow. An abortion for VW discussion groups AND Corvette discussion groups.

There was a widened bug (body not just fenders) on here at some point. That would have been a better way to go or more like doing some of both - widen body and fenders both. The proportions would have looked better - Otherwise kind of like the idea. Saw a later Corvair that was mated with an 90s Camaro a couple years ago. Camaro chassis and interior were well integrated and it almost looked factory. Takes a lot of work to pull that stuff of well.

If it was solid, I'd rock this Dormy with the crazy paint job and real Empi 5"s

Agreed, I tried to play "spot the VW part" but all I see is Bedford or some other brand.

Somehow, I like the integration of the graphics and the lights on this one. |

Can someone contact this guy for a side view of the Ghia/911? I dont have FB and that is the only way to see his pictures.
https://www.facebook.com/attila.adam.986/photos?source_ref=pb_friends_tl
I have a few Polaroids from back in the day when I was going to put a 911 roof on a Ghia(I still have the 911 roof). I was going to use a targa door glass and frame. My plan was to change the Ghia door and door post to the same angle as a 911, so that it angles rearward instead of straight-up.
I hadn't thought about combining the ghia engine cover with a 911's cover.
I did do the side air intakes on my Ghia(it was going to be Suby powered)
Of course, it has been posted here several times

Yeah not convinced of VW origins, look at the wiper arms and external door hinges - surely even the craziest of customisers wouldn't go from hidden hinges to external? I think it's one of these;

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

Obviously the one large rear window wasn't hard enough to see out of, so they thought splitting it into two smaller ones would be better! |
