:D

WOOOOOOOOOW! That's awsome:eek: :cool: :cool:

Right On Man! where did you get that, or did you make it?


John

Oh my goodness, completely awesome ... are you going to do a total outer shell Ghia?

very nice work indeed.

can you tell us more about it?

Hello,
I am building a race car based on a Ghia.
The bodyshell I had was a mix of GRP and steel.In some places the grp was a half inch thick!! Not good.

There is a guy over here who has moulds for a Ghia cabrio.
He has modified this to a coupe for me.
ALL the panels will be bare C/F.

Car will be called " Carbon Ghia"

2110 turbo engine, tube chassis.....................

I will hopefully have the rest of the shell by Christmas.
I will post more pics when I have some.

Cheers,Ross.

SWEEET! cant wait to see them....


John

WOWW great !!!!

Any news on this? It's way past x-mass :)

I would love to run two of them doors in my Ghia, any change those would be made for sale?

Hi guys.
Well............Christmas came and went..................nothing.
I was told it would absolutely,definately,no quibble..............be done by Jan 31st.............................It wasn't.

Some of you may be aware that I have been waiting for this shell for two years now. Well, I have had enough.

I have missed two years of racing, and in that time alot has changed.
I have told the guy not to bother finishing it. I am that sick of waiting :mad:

I know I am kind of cutting my nose off to spite my face, but you have to draw a line somewhere.

Too many promises never coming to fruition.

I am building a Squareback now.

seems rampant in this industry. you just don't see it in many other ones. those companies disappear. apparently you have to be one hell of a screwup in the auto industry...that or be too honest. :D

Sorry to read that Ross,

I can understand your point of view though... I have been waiting for more than a year for a paintjob on one of my cars, still want it back though :eek:

It was painted before but it showed to many bad spots so it had to be totally redone. I've had it with that shop, but they still got my car. So I have to be somewhat polite/understanding.

To bad for your project car. That door looked very promissing!

Yeah, I am gutted about it.
If he gets in touch this week and sends me pics of it, then I might still go for it............................but I doubt it. :rolleyes:

hey ross
 

hey ross you should have come to me , we would have taken that on and finnished it mate . i now you live in scotland but it seams a shame you want be carrying on with it call if your interested . all the best Lee L.A.P

Lee, the thing is, do you have moulds for Ghia panels?
I considered getting in touch with other people(Ghia Studio,DRE, LA Perf)
but I thought that if you had to make moulds first,then make panels, it would be twice the work, hence twice the price!
I was happy with the quote I was given. I paid half the cash up front.
At one point when it was getting a bit iffy(I thought I might not see any parts or my cash back) I considered going down and ripping the doors of his place and taking the moulds as "security." :cool:
