I don’t think I have room/time/money for a project car, but this yellow karmann ghia looks like it’s ready for a new owner. I’ve got the owners # if you want it. 803 270 3009
Don’t know the owner. Didn’t even call him. That # was listed near the car though.
I’ve had this Schumacher r/c car for many years, but I recently dug it out of the closet to see if I can figure out if it’s worth upgrading a bit and enjoying again. I have no clue who makes anything on it. My local hobby shop wasn’t of much help.
I visited family in southern Alabama for the holidays and went to my favorite little photo spots in the town nearby. I did this with my last car, so it made sense to go back with the newer one.
Recently I found myself with a curbed wheel. About half the rim was nicely knicked up by a curb. I found a local guy named Alden Lord who did a quick and excellent job at fixing the damage. I didn’t take too many before photos, but it was bad enough to have someone else fix it vs. me attempt to DIY.
This owner was brave to paint this car this color. I think I'm more of a fan of OE restorations on this car.
This past weekend in Augusta, the Augusta Vintage Nationals show/swap meet took place at Diamond Lakes. This park used to be the Augusta International Speedway. Something like 8 tracks were here! Man, it’s too bad this was ultimately shut down, but it’s very neat to see some Augusta’s racing history. Most of the cars were classic muscle, but what was really nice was to see some clean & detailed modifications to classic muscle cars vs. everyone just having OE restorations. They’re pushing the limits, which is always a daring thing to do. Most of the imports weren’t my style, so sorry if you’re looking for your on-the-ground truck or something.
