Beautiful Ghia you got there! Curious as to what kind of Camera you are using when you took you artistic photos? You have a great eye.
How many mili-pixels? |
i use a nikon D7000 which has 16.2 megapixel CMOS sensor with a 50mm f1.8 and a 30mm f1.4 lens |
Thanks for the info. Keep the pics coming!

Great Video Rick,
I recognise some of those streets in the early part of the vid, you'll have to venture a bit further south. Suprised you didnt include the Sea Cliff Bridge, maybe next time. |

that video was taken by my bro in law who was following me back from the VW Summer Cruise at stanwell park, I didn't actually know he was recording until he gave me the footage, but Sea Cliff Bridge is a must!.. definately next time  |

the lower points were placed through the body and pan in the small cavity where the gear linkage is

I've enjoyed your build thoroughly! Lots of inspiration here, especially since my color is about the same as yours, though the Australian sun seems to give a much better glow on the car than in the US
Anyway, one small question about your rear seat belts. I'm trying to do the same thing. But the above mounting point... was the body off when you drilled and placed this point? Seems very difficult and potentially damaging with the body and pan together. Thx!

the fixing points shown in the picture above were drilled trough with the body and pan bolted together, the plate that the seatbelt bolts into is inserted via the inspection plate for the gear linkage and sits in the 1inch groove that the body mates up to.
it is a tight fit in there |

Looking good Rick
