Hey take a number, I got at least 5 projects that I wanna take on. The order
changes a bit, but they usually remain pretty similar. Priority numero uno,
is the Sprite and will be till it's done.

I'm no VW expert, but from what I have read, the karman ghia was mostly
Beetle and a lil Porsche. (disc brakes from Porsche, the rest was bug.)
Always liked the look of the ghia... but if I go anything in that "area", it
will be a Porsche spyder fiberglass replica :P
