[T3] Jill's Type 34 Ghia

[John Jaranson]

Jill and I decided to get a few more things done to her Ghia in preparation for the trip to the Invasion.  In addition to changing oil and bleeding the brakes and a few otehr tune up items, we decided to two-tone the roof.  Here a couple pictures of the finished roof.  Still need to buff and wax it in a few days....

I also spent some time a couple of days ago detailing her steering wheel.  Removed the old "leather" wrap cover.  Cleaned up decades of accumulated grunge.  Put it on the buffing wheel.  Cleaned up really nice....

You can also see the 50th Anniversary badge we installed in the glove box door with double sided trim tape.
