Nigel's '56 Oval

[nigelg65]

Z,

Muscle cars are a big influence on me so you're dead right the Super Bee logo was a real inspiration.

There is a whole load more signwriting which you can't see in this pic, more posts to come.

Interior will probably stay as it is for now. We are going to have a big summer of shows, particularly in Europe, 2011 which means most of next year's 'car money' will be going on ferry tickets, fuel and BBQs.

Roll on Euro Bug-In.

Well at long last the car is finished... well as finished as they ever are.

And the full story is in the new issue of Type magazine.

All the trials, tribulations and breakdowns I can remember!!

Hey Nigel,

Cool ride, still love it. Can't remember was this same oval without signwriting that was on fuchs some years back ? Are you still hoping to sell her or keeping now for another season ? Be really ace mate if you bring her along to UK Cal Look Drag Day at Shakey next June 

Cheers,

Shane.

Yes it is the same Oval that was on Fuchs (which I still have and am thinking about selling if any one is interested: OG 4.5s and Deep 6s). Have decided not to sell the car, this one is a keeper. To my shame I didn't do one VW show in 2013. My plan is to do a lot in 2014 to make up for it.

That was the car I wanted to buy as my first bug, but my mother wouldnt let me at the time
I liked it more in the previous guise...
It was cleaner back then
