Exactly what I needed thanks!! Building one that was stripped so no idea where things go until now

CT the Gibbes decal on the rear bumper. That was one of the oldest VW dealerships in the US for a long time. It was located in Columbia SC across front the Carolina Coliseum.

You do great work. She is going to be beautiful again!!!!!!!

[@davidk6271]

Terrific progress. Well done. Once again, respect to you for remembering how all that stuff goes back together.

[@patrickbrown3135]

That is a very solid Ghia. Having one that doesn't need the entire lower 6 inches replaced is awsome!

Gotta say, the most extraordinary part of this is the amount of digging you do just before breaking out the vacuum. 😀

It’s great that you decided to go all in. I believe this car deserves it. It is very original, fairly solid and complete; looks like you can get away with just replacing all rubber items and cleaning up and refurbishing the rest of the parts. Looks like maybe it had one repaint. West Coast Metric has all the rubber and plastic items for it.

One of the best, overlooked investments I made in the shop was an impact screw driver. Man what a difference in dealing with screws like those.

👍Way👍to👍go👍 You are doing it CT! This is one you will be proud of‼️

[@macstone9719]

Great to see progress on the Karmann. I patiently wait for the 914, because it was my very first car and I also worked on it. Looking forward to it.

[@EvilscooterKitty]

Thank you for saving this beauty.

[@Woody-iv3ud]

Yes this car will look great again.

[@YoeWillie]

CT I'm hopeful and excited you may actually finish this one! Keep GOING!

[@Mikefngarage]

Shes a KEEPER....will be nice all done.

[@VWPrince53]

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to see it all finished! 👍

[@russelblackwell6041]

Wish i came across your videos earlier these cars were so well made the ghia is the bees knees keep up the great work Sir

[@patricknicolucci5073]

The ghia looks pretty good in sections some rust is expected nice work cant wait for you to finish. The advantage of restoring an older VW is it's simplicity. I had a 72 super beetle easy car to work on.

Great job! You're 1/3 done. When the body work and paint are done, that's 2/3 done. When it's re-assembled and you drive it for the first time, then it's done-done. After that, it's just maintenance. :) Thanks for the video!

CT’s favorite part of these builds is DEFINITELY the tear down.
