German Look Ghia - The Basilari 306R

Greetings all.. I plan on using this thread to document my German Look low light ghia.

I have a thread on ShopTalk and the Samba but the GL forums seem to be more euro-centric and I've had some requests to document the build here, so here we go. I'll try to post different photos here, etc., (some of which haven't been made public).

The build goals are:
  1. A low light Karmann Ghia.
  2. New/modern chassis with all the German Look pieces. ;)
    • Mendeola Front and Rear suspension
    • Mendeola Kafer bar system
    • Disc brakes all the way around
  3. Subaru power and drive train:
    • 6-cylinder EZ30R
    • 5-speed transaxle with Torsen LSD

Last summer, I picked up a low light in this condition:

The car, loading for California:


The boot/trunk area:


The rear needs major work but the nose is very good condition. There are the normal Ghia problems but it all appears to be very workable. Given what I paid for the car, it will all work out in the end.

Loaded (you can see the hack job rear end here):
