Kurt's Ghia

 

 

 

Let the disassembly begin!!!  

 

 

some of the locals and volksrod memebers...helping out during Tim's accident....

 

 

 

 

pans had to be cut from the body as the channels were toast...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

very intense rot in the channels,package and front header...

 

 

 

chassis after pan removal and blasting...

 

 

 

 

 

this is what Tim had to work with after she came back from blasting...

 

 

the following pics are BEFORE the work was performed on the body....ouch!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the start of the metal repairs...

 

 

 

... and the body work..

 

 

 

 

 

 

this old girl was in rough shape everywhere...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

some SEM Pro-Tex liner for protection from New England weather...

 

 

 

 

 

the Pro-Tex will eventually be primed,sealed and color coded to the car....

 

 

primer...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so you may notice the slight change in color?...wasn't happy with the first mix,so Tim mixed his own version of what he and Kurt wanted..

 

 

 

 

here she is after many hours of love nearly completed and getting ready for litchfield...
