These 4 walls house two of Volkswagen’s goofiest automotive
masterpieces. In one stall is a yellow frog shaped fastback with some meaty
tires and minimal rust, this old girl was once home of a 300+whp monster of a
motor, she now sits eagerly awaiting some fresh styling and a new heart! The
Fasty looks like it’s straight off the streets of Munich with its timeless
German styling and quintessential Volkswagen qwerks. The other oddity calling
the MiShift Garage home is a 1973 Karmann Ghia. The Ghia was Volkswagen’s idea
of a sports car but because it adorns those letters V and W, it maintains that
iconic dorky demeanor. There’s a bizarre blending of elegance and awkward
contained in one curvaceous clunky classic.
Here is how these cars are starting out:
Shaun's Fastback
Jake's Karmann Ghia
The minds behind these two projects both have their visions of what they wish the final results to look like; both cars sitting low and propelled by modern powerful engines but the details is where these shells will truly gain their character. I will do my best to update all those taking the time to read my Blog as Shaun and Jake (myself) embrace the challenge that is modernizing Vintage Volkswagens.
