Hi there,

I thought I better join up to this forum finally, because I'm starting to need lots of questions answered, and I figure in time I'll be able to answer lots of questions.

I've got a '56 oval that is currently completely in pieces. A few months ago I finished completely dismantling the engine, and I'm now about half way through rebuilding that. It's a long way to go, but the car is in fantastic condition for a 51 year old (it hasn't been registered since 1976) so hopefully it will all be worth it.

If anyone's interested I'm taking photos of the process as I go and putting them up here:

Welcome and good luck with the project. Nice to see you're doing the dirty work yourself, always more satisfying!
