Post by: Neil Davies on January 16, 2008, 13:07:19 pm Even without the history, it's still a RHD '53 oval, so nice to see it saved. What are the plans then Russell - rebuild it to as it was, or do your own thing?

Title: Re: New long Term Project... ex chris jory 53 oval Bug Jam 1987 winner !!! Post by: Rocket Ron on January 16, 2008, 20:22:20 pm I'm glad someone has got hold of it. 8)I was only thinking about it last night.
Good luck and when will it be on the road again!!!! Title: Re: New long Term Project... ex chris jory 53 oval Bug Jam 1987 winner !!! Post by: Russell on January 16, 2008, 22:43:54 pm looks like it failed the MOT had a couple of owners got stripped to repaint, found a lot of bondo, lost interest, parked outside and left to rot (stupid bastards !)
BUT NOW..... it will be restored to how it was in 87, even thought a rhd 53 oval is pretty rare anyway. Tim. EBI 22 more like :o Title: Re: New long Term Project... ex chris jory 53 oval Bug Jam 1987 winner !!! Post by: speedwell on January 16, 2008, 23:17:50 pm ;D ;D ;D

Nice to hear that you enjoyed the small flicks.. :) Cheers from Griebel.. www.griebel.blogspot.com (http://www.griebel.blogspot.com) Title: Re: VWGasserGarage Project... ex chris jory 53 oval Bug Jam 1987 winner !!! Post by: andy M. on February 04, 2008, 21:48:38 pm good to see this car being rebuilt, my ex-wife used to own this beauty, in fact it's how i first met her, had to rebuild the front king pins for the mot back in the winter of 1989, got two great kids out of the deal though!! Was a really nice car to drive, any chance of a go when it's rebuilt for old times sake?
regards andy o/ff 156 Title: Re: VWGasserGarage Project... ex chris jory 53 oval Bug Jam 1987 winner !!! Post by: Russell on February 04, 2008, 22:50:02 pm Andy, no problem.
Hope the kids were'nt made in the car, but it would explain the roof dents ??? Title: Re: VWGasserGarage Project... ex chris jory 53 oval Bug Jam 1987 winner !!! Post by: andy M. on February 05, 2008, 08:46:31 am no, the kids weren't created in the car, they came long after the oval was passed on to steve walker, any dents in the roof are probably down to his sordid nocturnal activity!
good luck with the project, looks like a lot of work to do before the volksworld show, regards andy o/ff 156 Title: Re: VWGasserGarage Project... ex chris jory 53 oval Bug Jam 1987 winner !!! Post by: beetletom on July 22, 2009, 13:25:38 pm any updates to this??
