The Ghia would have been cool, and I miss it, but with still being in High School, work, and the car being 30 minuets away just wasn't the best combination to get it done anytime soon. I hope Ill get another one later on. Maybe an older one too.

Tried replacing the seats, but the rain came out of nowhere, and come to find out, the passenger seat is different than what was there, so Ill need to weld in some brackets or something.
But for now, unmatching seats. (IMG:http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr113/ghopher0/photo1_zps7914c356.jpg) plus my Axles, Alternator, shift linkage, motor and transmission mounts, and the transmission mount bracket is waiting to be installed.

Lol, the bus is sitting in the garage. I don't have 10 grand to dump on a vehicle at the moment, so I figured let it climb in value and ill sell it in a few years.
Everything but the alternator was replaced, and car is running and driving, but I need new tires. Wires showing.. |

So what? I saw many people who built their classic car without big amount of money. All you need is enthusiasm and desire to finish restoration.
You probably want to buy all brand new bolt-on parts and then just install them in the car? Right? You can do the most of work yourself for free, or pay for it. It's your choice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif) |

The bus is basically just a shell. The whole lower 2 feet of the thing is rusted out not to mention the whole rain gutter and surrounding areas all the way around the vehicle would need to be replaced as well. I would have to buy basically half a bus in replacement panels that I would have to cut, trim and weld in myself. Another option is I could buy a donor car, but Almost anything I find would be in better shape or have the same rust issues as mine. Then I have to worry about the motor, transmission, and brake system.
I really want to fix it up, and drive it, but for still being a high school student and living on the edge financially, I don't have the time or the money to tackle a project like that. Hopefully once I'm making better money, and finish up school, I may start working on it. That's basically why I gave up on the Ghia. I needed a mode of transportation, and I didn't have the time or money to fix it any time soon. Even though it's not exactly what I want; the Jetta runs and drives and gets me where I need to go... Most of the time... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif) |

Don't have much pictures at the moment, but I'll get some soon.
(IMG:http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr113/ghopher0/photo1_zps384e68a1.jpg) (IMG:http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr113/ghopher0/photo2_zps298d06f0.jpg) (IMG:http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr113/ghopher0/photo3_zpsce064022.jpg) (IMG:http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr113/ghopher0/photo4_zpsce76f701.jpg) Need to roll the fenders, and maybe get some 14" rims so I can go lower. For now, my front tires rub in the front when I make a tight turn, and my rear tires hit the top of the wheel well. plus I still have roughly 2" of threads left to go lower. Ill get some better pictures soon This post has been edited by duncan: Oct 4 2013, 01:46 AM |

I'll get an 8v lip before I lower it any more. I'll drag the 16v lip around if it goes any lower.
And the guy sold the BMW rims :/ |

Most likely you won't have the money while you are in highschool, but that's the whole coolness in that.
Imagine the feels in 10 or so years when you finally finish something you've been working on bit by bit. Once you have the money, there is no point in restoring it yourself, you might as well buy one. I would have a old rusted piece of crap right now if it weren't for a lack of space and #brownparents |
