After many years of pre 67 VW ownership i have stumbled across this site!
How on earth have i kept passing by without noticing it?
VZI is full of....................................................well VZIers:roll:
On the Samba they describe a car as Bitchin!?!??:?
But having read through loads of threads and posts here i find a comfortable place, somewhere that seem to have values and the right idea about things...............so if its ok with you all may i sit down, put my feet up and stay for a while?
I am currently sorting my 57 in a vintage speed sort of fashion...356a brakes, looking for a Judson kit blah blah blah.

Welcome - glad that you found us tucked safely away in this corner of the Internet! :)

Nice car, more pictures please.:) Incidentally, Ovals have a place of their own on this site, checkout the 53 - 57 section.

Thanks for the welcome :d

The Oval is in my garage awaiting both rear bumper hangers and a small patch on the pan that need welding up. It has had a good quality paint job at some stage in the past, 3 of the wings are original, doors and 4 tab bonnet and decklid are all good, it has some surface rust and a few blemishes here and there but thats the look i like and it`ll stay that way for now.It came with a nice two spoke petri banjo wheel which was a bonus and I have front 356a brakes to bolt up and 356 steels to go on. I`m lookin for a 36hp Judson kit, a pair of OG european bumpers and an OG red interior if anyone can help.

Heres a few more pics and i`ll post more up as i complete a few jobs.

Thanks all for the kind words :d

Stu, i could drop a mail to the guy i bought my car from in Sweden if your still looking for a car? My Oval isnt the cleanist car youve ever seen but is solid enough and was well within your price range. Shipping is cheap also.
