After several months of long days and nights the oval is almost on the road. Pretty good car to start with but has seen a new front bulkhead and some
other minor rust repair.

That's an awesome looking oval mate.
Love the anthracite with the brms.
What are the specs? Is it "just" a restoration or have you modified it?
Cheers
Mike

Love that colour! Your bug looks fantastic, can't wait to see more photos!! 
You've inspired me to get off my arse and get a move on with my 57 resto.

Looks fantastic, well done.
This was the one that was found ready painted in a shed wasn't it?
Even if it was, nice job on finishing it off and bringing it back to life.
I Like!!!
Very nice great job, i can't wait to get mine on the road.
cam070 i think you are refering to the oval i found in the shed.

dude any updates?
got to love an oval
As with all the other comments, ditto for me. It looks awesome!
Is the paint 2k? I'm guessing it's had a lot of wet-sanding done. Looks really nice n' flat anyway, love not seeing that 2K peel. Easy enough to
rub back Acrylic...2k is a freakin nightmare!
Credit to the paint & body work. Looks superb!
yummy
