Your Thoughts?
« on: May 23, 2006, 08:27:37 PM »
I'm hoping to finish up the oval for the Great Canadian....pushing hard now till Aug. Anyway, I'm gonna be looking for another project to start in  October. I was thinking I might want a Bay Window DC....hard to find tho. I have a line on a early low light Ghia(originally for CA) that I was thinking about doing the Baja thing with. Haven't seen many done like this...your thoughts?

I think a Baja Ghia is fine if you're starting with a fatchick, but a lowlight? Sacrilige!

Fatchicks make terrible bajas, it's gotta be done with a torsion front end

Is the ghia rusted to crap? Is it really cheap? If yes to both buy it and baja it. If it's cheap but not rusty, buy it and sell it for a profit and use that money to buy something else to cut up. Or you could just buy it and say \"Screw everyone, it's my car and I'll do whatever I want with it!\" I like the last option best.

Since Jason is the Ghia guy he should know who sells baja kits for the car?
