C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
sweeeeet. looking forward to seeing more.
The Oval....Oskar arrved this morning.
History goes something like: Last rego'd in 1983, driven into paddock for 15 years, garaged for 7 yrs or so and then found it's way to me.
Pan and channels are quite rusty so will be a long term project, but it runs and drives, however with no brakes. Interior has held up pretty well considering too.
Plans are to have on the road in 1-2 yrs with a very different theme to Boris.
Here's some pics.

Would make a sweet rat.
Yeah, she's got some safety issues and I do have plans to get her on the road ASAP, but probably for summer '08

I'm clearing that space in the workshop for you now Darren.
You can park it between the other 3 ovals in there!
"O.S.K"

Light grilles were off ebay from a guy in NZ, were about $120 all up.

Hell Dude thats some towbar! Nice collection of pieces to put her straight!
Ok.....backflip time!
The oval has found a new home, I have to admit to being a bit frightened as to potential cost blowouts to get her how I wanted it.🙅
Boris is to now receive the full treatment as it just makes sense. He is just ssssoooo solid and has so much sentimental value ( I even contemplated selling the Ratter ).
So watch this space over the next 12 months or so as the transformation takes place from Boris the Rat to Boris the Cal.😵
I may be nuts but am happy with the decision.
