ghia resto
i will just end up showing it as i do not want to use it as a daily driver so it will be fair weather use only i have just about every single exterior part to replace as new so it should be a good looking car i don't think there are too many ghia's surviving in show condition

Happy memories. My mum had a 1.6 Ghia, same colour (W reg) new and we bought it from her in '88. That's it in the pic when, by chance, we parked up behind another one just one digit difference in the reg. We had it a few years before the missus pranged it, then had a black ghia (D reg) and finally a red Mk3 Ghia (H reg) - all 1.6.

MOX 760X
Message to The Big Man, you caried out the body restoration on the above car, which I now own.
No mention of what you did to the engine. Did you make any mofications ? eg conversion of head to run on unleaded ?
Or indeed anything else ?
Many thanks
