The Fastback
There have been many purchases and new additions to the Fasty. Shaun purchased a 16v 9A powerplant which will receive a set of Mikuni VM38's. There are plans to do a unique exhaust setup that will set this car even further apart, those are undisclosed at this time, stay tuned ;)
So many big changes are on the way!

Getting purdy!
Shaving the body
Slammage! A little taste of things to come!
The Karmann Ghia
The floors in the Karmann Ghia have been replaced with new pan sections and then the front sections fabricated. I purchased a Turbo Legacy which provides the EJ22T that will power the Ghia, at 1800lbs and 200hp this silly little car will haul.
Some new rust spots have been discovered in both the front and rear lower sections of the quarters. Both will be repaired soon after the structure is reinforced. On the quarter panel just behind the doors I discovered that the heater channels were gone, so we welded in reinforcement which fixed the door sag! One side done, driver's side is next.
Floors done
EJ22T
Yikes! No heater channels found
Solution to the heater channel issue was a 1" box tube section welded in and sheet metal linking that box section to the floor pan resulting in the doors closing great.
Going to town on the channel repair
The engine bay has plenty of rust on the left side.
The rust holes were chopped out and a new section was welded in to replace.
More lovely discoveries on the Ghia. No heater channel on the driver's side either.
