The new 56 Oval....now home! Stock meets Custom
Scored this today.....and will pick up during the week.
Is missing the original W decklid but I have one to put on.
Will need to find an original bonnet.
Comes with original tail lights, a set of 356 wheels, the original front seats and is in pretty good nick other than the paint work...hail the rat!
Still has original 36hp engine and is still 6 volt too.

So.....I'd really piss you all off by saying I scored it without outlaying a dollar....
It's actually part payment to help with designing and documenting a house for the guy. He also owns a sweet 356 Porsche...
As for the guages I'll take a photo of them. Even the guy I'm getting it off doesn't know where they are from and thought they may have been an
option on the Australia spec beetles. Who knows....
Plans for the car....keep it stock as a rock....GOTTA HAVE THE STOCKER TO GO WITH THE ROCKER....
Want to drop it on it's guts and add white walls. May get dropped spindles for the front as I don't even want to cut up the original beam...

Looks great man, and love the fact that your ganna keep it stock, but will you leave it like it is and just get her road worthy, like rat style? would
be great to see her get there!
Defects are not pictures, so why do idiots put them in frames????

What the stock? We'll see, you won't be able to do it Reub.lol
You know you want to do it? Also I think your version of stock might be a little different to most of the guys on here.
Should be another sweet arse ride.

yeh, brakes are important mmm--kay? When I bought my oval, i drove it 1 hour+ back to home with 4 leaking wheel cylinders, oil on all 8 shoes which
translated to sweet FA braking efficiency.. made it back alive though!
Man, even the blue/white 'two tone' is cool on this bug!
