Another Oval on the street, my 56
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.
Cheers
Paul

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

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.

Did i drive past you on Shepherds Hill rd today? I was driving my blue SC, and saw an oval that looks identical. If it was you the beetle looks
awesome, congratulations!
Yeah she can go faster, but if she did you wouldn't see how good she looks.

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!
