Is this the one I was telling you about or is that still a secret?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

The Oval....Oskar arrved this morning.
History goes something like: Last rego'd in 1983, driven into paddock for 15 years, garaged for 7 yrs or so and then found it's way to me.
Pan and channels are quite rusty so will be a long term project, but it runs and drives, however with no brakes. Interior has held up pretty well
considering too.
Plans are to have on the road in 1-2 yrs with a very different theme to Boris.
Here's some pics.

I'm clearing that space in the workshop for you now Darren.
You can park it between the other 3 ovals in there!

Ok.....backflip time!
The oval has found a new home, I have to admit to being a bit frightened as to potential cost blowouts to get her how I wanted it.
Boris is to now receive the full treatment as it just makes sense. He is just ssssoooo solid and has so much sentimental value ( I even contemplated
selling the Ratter ).
So watch this space over the next 12 months or so as the transformation takes place from Boris the Rat to Boris the Cal.
I may be nuts but am happy with the decision.
