Just wanted to toss up some pictures of the front-end stance (top row) some folks on ShopTalkForums wanted profile shots. These aren’t full profile but it’s all we have at the moment.

The first picture is the result of the initial body to chassis merge. I wanted to see if we could go lower. Kevin then tweaked the suspension to drop the front a bit more. I keep forgetting that these are 17 inch wheels – and as pictured, no rubbing, lock to lock! Trying to find the optimal mix between aesthetics and performance.

: Getting there.

: 17s on a Ghia.

: Lowered a bit more after initial body placement.

: Bader-like in stance. No adjustments yet.

: Got stance?

: Slightly rolled fenders.

: Wheel profile.

: Exhaust view from down low.

Ghias have narrow rear wheel wells. So on the rear we rolled the fenders a bit to comfortably fit the 205s, but now we can (and will, eventually) go to 215s with no problem.
