That body turned out very nice. I am most impressed with what you have done from a block of wood.
Where are you getting your PVC material from?
Cheers
Dan

Thanx Dan!
The PVC is old menu panels from the take away restaurant within our outlet. Most advertising companies here use pvc sheets and stick vinyl on top for advertising boards. Local is lekker!
I will attach a pic.
Cheers

Wow! That's some expensive chips! That's over $22.50 US! I take it you aren't in Australia, Clive! Where are you, dude?

Clive, your Ghia is coming on nicely. Well done.

Hallo everyone!
It has been two weeks of stock taking, month-end and lots of stufff....very little time to work on the Ghia, but here is a pic of the chassis and the body as it is now.
Chassis is rolling and it only needs a paint job to be completed. The body is 90% finished with only a couple of small fixes and then off to the paint bay.
Cheers
Clive

Some more work done over the past weekend...wish weekends were longer!! Hahah
Painting the body was in two parts, top colour is off-white and bottom we wanted candy apple red...I think we got it spot on...
The chassis was also finished and painted.
Cheers
