The Black Sheep
First off, for as long as I've known about this crazy internet thing, I've never felt the desire to make a web site.  I never thought I had anything worth saying to the collected public, so creating a web site seemed pointless.  Well, I guess things change, I found I had a few pics of my black Ghia (The Black Sheep), and decided that there is a special, but very small percentage of people in the world who could possibly be interested in this stuff.  For you gifted folk, behold!

Well, here's some pics of my car, a black 1973 VW Karmann Ghia powered by a 1969 Porsche 912 engine.  If you'd like to read about how and why I got the car and what it took to get it on the road, click HERE to read "The Great Fiasco".  I've also recently added a major update to this section by including a detailed write up on the engine conversion and installation itself.  You can either click on the link off of the Great Fiasco page, or just click HERE.

I've also setup a coupla sites for selling a bunch of Ghia parts I've pulled from a '71 Ghia and a '67 Ghia.  To look at the Ghia parts click HERE.

Also, over the past few months I've put together other "tech articles" covering various topics.  Two that still seem to be kicking around my web space involve updating the retracting seatbelts in late ghias, and the construction and use of some special wrenches that a friend and I made up to make dual carb removal easier.  You can check the seatbelt page by clicking HERE, and view the wrench page by clicking HERE.

If you have any questions or problems, go ahead and leave me some e-mail HERE.
