I know this is AI, but I wonder if I could pull off these modifications. 🤔
Modernized Ghia
Sketch Time
It’s no Rembrandt, but it’s a couple modifications I’m considering.
Capping Off the Doors
Looks good to me.
Considered Mods
I’ve been sitting in the garage tonight considering a couple of mods that I would like to get started on while I’m stripping the rest of the body down. One that I have spoken about already is shaving the drip rails. My gut is telling me that is probably trickier than it sounds, but I believe if I take my time with it, I can pull it off just fine.
Hey… they did it.
The next modification I’m considering is repositioning the tail lights so that they are further in than the deck lid.
Lastly, since I am going to be capping off the doors and not having any side glass, I would cut these pillars out and go with a hardtop look.
I think this should keep me busy for a while.
1961-66 Dash Mounted Ignition Switch
I’ve always liked how the early 60’s Ghias had the ignition switches in the dash. Perhaps I’ll add this to my mod list.
Reverse Tilt Hood Mod
I have to keep this in mind.

Right Hand Drive Conversion
I wonder just how much would be involved to pull this off. I have a source for the RHD beam. Is most everything else just cutting and welding?
73 Ghia with custom 60’s Bodywork
This is similar to some of the things I’ve been planning. I love the smaller tail lights of the older Ghias.
