The Oval's getting a motor and box upgrade over the next few weeks, 2276, 48 IDF's, KCR Pro Street Box....... so started taking the interior out tonight for when the new plumbing and electrics need to go in - sorry but I'm a little bit excited about it and I wanted to share it with you guys. I'll post some pics as it progresses.

Cheers

Nice car, good luck with the changes. I know there are probably a couple of Ovals out there in a similar shade but it looks familiar, I think I've seen it at some show or other at some point. Have you had it a while?

Hi guys thanks for the interest.

Matt, Richie, you guys were good enough to let me run with you at Avon Park last year where it ran a 19 Grin, not too bad for 1600 single port!

Neil, my good buddy Neil Griffiths had the jungle green Oval, but he sold it a few months back to a freind of ours Mat who goes by the name of Skee53 on "another forum".

See you.

Just though you might be interested to know that the bug got it's big motor and box. 2276 cc's and the KCR box, it's pretty quick!!

Sorry there were no pictures of the build only my good buddy Neil did all the work on it whilst I coped with losing my mum a few weeks ago. Neil you're a true friend.
