I'm an old Bug dude ('60, '67), but may have the chance to get a '61 ghia convertable from a friend at work (for my son). Its going to need "some" work (top, paint, floor pans, rubber, etc). My question is what is the availability of parts for this car? The bug mags have lots for bugs, but I don't see much mention of ghia parts. Can I assume all the mechanical stuff is the same as a type 1? The car already has a 1600 motor and is converted to 12V, so I don't have to do that.
Thx, Chris
