Bought this fine automobile from fellow Cal-Look forum member 'Balocco' and now it's time to give the thing some fresh spring time air  The car was in pretty good condition when I got it so apart from new running boards, sorting a leaky rear hub and it's t-bars it's just been waiting for summer. Interior is the next thing I think as it's pretty tatty... [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ] |

Cheers Stretch The garage is a beastie!!! The BBQ and beer is primed for when you come over and help me put a big motor in  To everyone in Scandinavia, what are the good shops and websites to pick up vee-dub parts? Seems crazy for me to order from the UK... |

Thought it was time for an update on the Oval. The interior is looking a bit neater now I've covered the seats and it's soon ready for the road with the new motor The old 1200 motor and gearbox have been moth-balled and a 1500 box with 1776 motor is soon ready to Rock'n'Roll... Here's a few pics for anyone interested. The exhaust is on it's way along with a few more 12v bits... Then all that's left to do is enjoy the summer A big shout goes out to Stretch for spending his Easter break up to his eye-balls in grime. Dude for the Gearbox and Graham for the motor!!!

No worries Puz. I enjoyed working on it, it's a great car. Has the exhaust turned up? Potential first drive this weekend? |

I love this car. Goes really well & now stops like a modern car. Perfect !! You just need to get it up the strip now Puz. Even if it's only once. |

It would be interesting to see what time it could do. I'd be over the moon with a 15sec pass...
