Your Ghia is Awesome!! :thumbup:

WOW!!!! Very professional!

Who came first, yours or Bader Racing?

Jason

Yeah
 

Hi, what type of leg room. The shape can take the speed, also the engine bay does lend itself to larger engine possibilities. But still, to see one on the road is uplifting:eek: great work, look nice:)

Great! The work is top notch! The results are mesmerizing! I love this idea so much that I have one in the works!:D

Bader ;)

Stunning work.

Where the wheel arch extensions hand made? or adapted from another source?

they are hand made

Hi

The car is amazing, the flared fenders/mudguards look right, many people with Ghias get them so wrong.

Steve

Really, REALLY cool. What did it end up weighing and how much HP? Did you get a F/R weight distribution on it?

I'm sure you had your hands full, but this caught my eye as you made a blur through the countryside:

:D

We'd love to see your future posts here!

Jason

I guess it should had ended weighting about 2,500lbs which is about 500lbs less than a 993 Carrera. For a Non Varioram engine power should be around 275hp, giving around 9lbs per hp. Non Varioram 993 is around 11lbs per hp.
Weight distribution on a 993 is around 40/60%. I guess this should ended a liitle more on the back but not for very much. So sort of a very lightweigth 993. But that exteme good looks, guttural sound and seat of the pants performance can not be measured! I am all over it!!! More, more pictures please!:D

weight of kg is : 1150 Kg

weight on rear is :700 kg

Wow, never realised there was so much fabrication in this Ghia-6 !
Very well thought out and very nicely executed!
I am still a bit hesitant to try out max speed on mine. I need a GPS for sure haha! My Cw sucks though.
I did 6000 rpm in 5th with the G50 and 18" wheels a few times, but going towards 6500 rpm will be 'interesting'...

Hope to meet you again in Spa next year Alex ;)

Thanks for you comments

wally: I hope to see you too at Spa next year and I hope that my english will be better;)

if we talk about Spa we have to talk about this :

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/2...gshow20036.jpg

I see your english has improved a lot already and no, I don't think we need to talk about that!
I nearly spun as well on the damp track, so just lets agree to be safe next year ;-)

So my estimates were not very fram from the actual numbers!:)
Thanks for the pictures! Is that the 1303 from Martin Bott?
I really like your Karmann and the Badder one, both are top notch, but
I like your most!:D
How fast 0 to 60mph or 0 to 100kmph(0to62mph)? Any 1/4 mile numbers?
I clearly understand this car was not build as a drag car but we like to know those numbers.
Any magazine feature?

Yes, is the 1303 of Martin Bott, he is a good man :goodjob:


Thanks but the bader is a very good/fast car

no measurement taken

The only one (streetvw) but the issue will be on 2012;)

This car is excellent. I have read everything about it here: http://www.germanlook.org/

I used the Google translator - French to English:). There are a lot of nice cars in that forum.

I've just tented my trousers looking at this build.
