My Karmann Ghia and 626 (56k be warned)

Just figured i'd show off my cars, if you've been paying attention to me, you'll know that my mazda is for sale and i'm looking to buy a Subaru SVX ASAP...

This is my 1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia
This is actually the second time I've repaired it... it was all rusted to hell and we replaced a bunch of body panels and made some of our own... of course, we're not professional, so we used a bit of bondo, but it's all good, the car still looks great (imho). We also removed the bumpers and did a bunch of custom interior work... the engine's pretty filthy, but i'm in the process of rebuilding another engine that will be slightly more powerful than the stock 43hp. After i got it done the first time, i drove it for about 4 months, and in that period of time, managed to hit a deer, have the wheel fall off twice and tear up the fender (stupid volkswagen for not using right-hand threads), and my neighbor who has hated me since i was a kid decided to be an ass and back into it and push the unadultered nose in just to piss me off... so, second go-round, this is what it looks like:
