i will get a set of whitewalls but at a later date, for the moment i am just enjoying cruising in the car....at a later date i will do a complete restoration and then the whitewalls will go on....:D


squizy - June 24th, 2003 at 12:58 PM

From what I saw of the price on eBay, you got a very good buy.

Well done.

Squiz......

Bewdiful !!


sleeper - June 24th, 2003 at 06:05 PM

thanks guys....the car looks good in photos and in the flesh also, i am quite tempted to get down to numbacca now just to get to meet some of the members and see some other cars.....

Excellent sleeper,
Mine is a sleeper too.
We could almost start a " Grey Oval " club... good to see.


sleeper - June 25th, 2003 at 08:29 PM

well mine isn't quite a sleeper yet as it is still original ,running 6v,original motor/box,semaphores...etc....but eventually it'll get there.....what engine you got in yours?


sleeper - July 9th, 2003 at 10:50 PM

ok,
just an update with my oval,
got 12v conversion done.....still a couple of things to be finished as the right park light isn't working and the left semaphore is a bit bugged :(
and also got the car lowered :)
have ordered a set of chrome 356 replicas that should be here in a few weeks :)


XXX-1.8T - July 12th, 2003 at 02:53 PM

Hey Sleeper did u get my u2us?

:beer


lardo - July 12th, 2003 at 08:00 PM

why would u butcher a fine example VW by doing that, buy a hod rod.:mad:


sleeper - July 13th, 2003 at 03:34 AM

hi xxx 1.8t, i did get your u2u thank you.
lardo, i know it is an original car but i am going towards the californian look as it is what i want.... sorry to offend you by any way, i don't think it is butchering the car by any way .....
thanks for your comment(s)
cheers


PHAT BUG - July 13th, 2003 at 06:06 AM

Hey Lardo, by the sounds of it the mods he is doin would be easy enough to put back to standard so you could hardly call him a butcher. Everone should be able to do want they want to their cars without critisizm, after all its THEIR car!


Starbug - July 13th, 2003 at 12:47 PM

That is a very beautiful car!
grey is definitely the right colour for any oval!


sleeper - July 13th, 2003 at 12:51 PM

phat bug,
thanks for backing me up, you actually said what i wanted but didn't as i didn't to offend anyone, as for mods you are right, it's only rims (356 replicas)with whitewalls, lowered the car a bit, put a hood jak for the summer heat and an antenna, and 12v conversion..... those aren't major mods???? or are they??? i like MY car the way it is and always will...
