Guess I'm gonna have to turn the torsion bars,  probably some smaller tires.  It rides pretty decent,  having fun finally after a lot of set backs

When you do yours, let me know and I will come over and we can both get the ghia's lifted in the back.
Thanks, I'll bring a bottle jack, not a bottle of Jack.

Fired the Ghia right up,  surprised because It had been sitting for a while,  ready for bugapuluza and nice driving weather

Old motor went to Nashville this weekend.  Gotta clean up the engine bay and get a clutch kit,  then put the new motor in,  got plastic dip spray to paint the roof white to cover up the rust spots and see what it looks like, insurance was denied by State Farm
