damn

that looks nice - familiar too. was that built by VVDS about 4-5 years ago, with a 5 blade porsche fan in setup in the back?

have you got any more pics/details, it looks like a ripper


rose - July 10th, 2005 at 06:14 PM

She goes well as she has a 1916 behind, counter weighted crank, ratio rockers, 44mm webbers. Sounds great when you give it a bit.


Golde60 - July 10th, 2005 at 06:22 PM

blue fan??

Good score!
Nothing better than an Oval! especially one as nice as that!

byronbus - July 10th, 2005 at 10:56 PM

Great...anymore pics? Are you the person who asked about this oval the other day?


boersch - July 10th, 2005 at 11:21 PM

niiiiiice


blutopless2 - July 11th, 2005 at 09:57 AM

nice looking oval... love the color


squizy - July 11th, 2005 at 11:25 AM

Looks very similar to something that was around about 15 years ago. Was in FF&R, but can't put my hand on the mag. Nice score all the same.


rose - July 11th, 2005 at 01:04 PM

No Byronbus didnt ask any one, we found this one in carsales.com.
Yes Squizy the owner showed me pics of vw in mag.had a few more things done since then.


squizy - July 11th, 2005 at 01:25 PM

Great stuff Rose. It really has been well looked after then considering that's at least a 15 year old restore you've got. Damn it still looks soooo good.


Turbo54 - July 11th, 2005 at 02:19 PM

Nice!
I thought I would throw some wheels and new stance to show potential. Think outside the square. Maybe a set of 16" GT40 wheels?

Very nice indeed - that will provide many happy miles of motoring for you I am sure!


pete wood - July 11th, 2005 at 05:53 PM

turbo54, you are a very naughty boy, giving people ideas like that...That said, the wheels look awesome. :smilegrin:


rose - July 11th, 2005 at 06:09 PM

Yes squizy it is in very good nick, been kept under raps in his garage, he didn't want to sell it but after having it for 20 years he's just lost interest etc children & family things. He likes boats now.


Robo - July 11th, 2005 at 06:37 PM

Ohh man he will soon get sick of those, bad move swapping an Oval for a boat. The best time of owning a boat is the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Those things are money and time pits!


Che Castro - July 12th, 2005 at 11:31 PM

Dials are cool. Although those other wheels are pretty nice too. How about some gasburners :)


rose - August 8th, 2005 at 08:02 PM

Just passed blue slip today. Yipee:bounce:bounce:bounce

Fossil - August 11th, 2005 at 12:43 PM

kroozzn63 - August 13th, 2005 at 04:03 PM

was it from mike at custom bugs n buses
any way we could guesss for ages either way she looks a smooth little oval


Volkswagenboy - August 13th, 2005 at 04:07 PM

They both look great, the multi coloured one looks similar to a mates, it's a VolksWorld Beetle. (They own Volksworld at Windsor in Bribane.
The red one looks the part too. Well done.


rose - August 13th, 2005 at 04:21 PM

The lovely red oval came from a bloke at Acacia at Sydney he had it for the past 20 years he was reluctant to sell. We have spoken to him this week and he said can I buy it back his wife said no way. Anyway we are not going to sell it. See you all at Sawtell.
The coloured one happened to end up this way as it had fibro guards bonet and engine lid so we where able to pick up metal guards as they where available we didn't pick coulours just got what was around at the time. Will be painted one colour one day but someone will probably beet me to it that is the colour as I was going to paint it hot house green but someone beat me to it. Have another colour in mind now.nn[ Edited on 13-8-2005 byrose ]
