Good call Vujade!

That 'dam must be quite effective, looks sort of 'needed' IMO

O.K. I'm kinda feeling that one.

I'll have to give it to a auto designer friend of mine to see what he can make of it.

I'll post some sketches as they become available.

I'm thinking ('hope ya don't mind) maybe less ' dunno ' at the ends- more sharknose ?

VW Trends or Hot VW had an issue a few months ago with a red ghia with mini lite wheels, and a spoiler in the front. I cant find the issue at this time though. If I remember the Ghia was on the cover..Anyone?

Ah, I found it. VW Trends Nov 2002. Seemed like a few months. Time flies when you don't have any!

Joe,

That is a sweet looking Ghia! I want the same front end on mine(been working on some sketches) but the wheels have got to go.

Sweet info.

WHAAAAATTT a Gia... I like that :silly: :silly:

That very same Ghia was featured on the Volksworld issue for July I believe. 2.2 6 cylinder Porsche engine and stock tranny(why the combo, not sure) but seet ride.

I still like the German Looker featured on VWspeed a couple of years back. Full 2.4 type engine, and massive(no relation) 235 rear tires with a 5spd Porsche tranny.

No, I wish I could find the freaking mag though.

I do have to say, the rear wing on Alex's Ghia it's sweet!

I want to do the same wheels wells though. exactly how in God's name did he graft them so beautifully, l don't know(hint here), but I would love to find out.

One thing, why the stock VW tranny, and not a 915?

Love the wing, but for fenders I like these better:

But that's a bit of topic, as it won't improve downforce

The last pictures look like the handywork of John kelly. The man is an artist when it comes to shaping metal panels.
