Its coming on well, just noticed all my pictures have disappeared, thanks photo bucket
So its currently away having the metal work done, hoping to have it back by the end of January, Ill try and link some photos from facebook while i sort something else out.
Off it goes for a few months....
And managed to pick up a set of my dream wheels, been after a set for as long as i can remember.
Oh and also treated myself to another, smaller project
Arrived from the States on 17th of January, hoping to have the Ghia Ready to take to Ninove in March.

Cool looking Ghia - is the 912 going back to Ivory or have you not decided yet?

Started getting some of the panels bolted up, it needed a new door skin and outer sill, so wanted to make sure everything lined up correctly before anything was welded in place
New outer sill mocked into position.
Genuine Porsche door skin on and sill final fit, all lined in lovely.
Dialling the gaps in
Starting to look like a car again

Luggage area complete
Oh and while the 912 was away having the work done, i built the ghia up with a few upgrades... or should i say down
So that was new suspension, brakes, steering, wiring, wheels, and engine.
And made it to a couple of shows.....
Also picked this up while i was at it
always wanted an early cabriolet, so couldn't resist.
Apart from the terrible black paint, its actually completely solid...
Anyway, back to the porsche......
