Check out the first in a long series of restoring a rusted out 1966 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. While at it, I also converted it to right hand drive!

Nice work, bro! I just picked up a 74 ghia (in Oregon!) and it’s got a ton of rust. Your video came at the perfect time!

Haha! Glad you got one. Oregon is a hard place on cars.

the best thing about old VW's is the fact you can buy brand new stamped floor pans and body panels for nearly all models because they are still that popular looking forward to seeing how it turns out. thumbs up and subbed.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it! Love that most parts are available for these old cars. The ghia has some parts that aren't available (except for later models), but I'll just make them.

The VW Ghia is my all-time ultimate dream car! Please post everything on this until 4 restoration. Love this!

Love seeing all the work others have done on there Ghias. I had to do most every thing you have done and I have never done body work before. Can't wait to follow along. I have a 69.

Thank you so much! It's a fun challenge for sure. These Ghias are a lot harder than bugs!

Wow, amazing work, the Bug looks great can’t wait to see the Ghia, I think you have to do the jobs yourself with the outrageous prices and finding someone who won’t rip you off, thanks for sharing.

@JeffsAuto1 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! And yes, doing it yourself is cheaper and no one is gonna care about your car more than you. So myself it is!

Looks like quite a project! I'm in Oregon so I know what you mean about rain and rust. I have a 73 Dodge Dart Swinger project waiting to start and there will be rust repair on that as well. I've been looking at channels like this to learn what to do and what tools I need. Good luck with your channel!

Thank you. And good luck to you. I'm here to answer questions when you have any.

Damn Jeff! great job mate! Wish you lived in Brisbane Australia. I'd get you to lend a hand with mine. It's a 61. I uploaded an ep on my channel of what I have to work with if you're interested. Unlike yourself I'll be working things out and learning as I go though. Looking forward to seeing more of this bud 👍

This video turned out to be a real surprise. It is nearly one in the morning and I needed just one more video ..... What a great video! tHanks for posting. Looking forward to watch as the car gets transformed!

@JeffsAuto1 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it. I'll keep them coming! New video out tomorrow night.

Too bad you didn't get some of that early work on video, but there's still a lot of work left to see. Can't wait to see how it goes.

@JeffsAuto1 5 ай бұрын

I know! It would have made great content. And yes, still a long way to go. I'll keep videos from now on. Lesson learned.
