New ride in the collection!

[Pillow]

Just wanted to pass along that I purchased a '57 Oval Beetle today!

Granted it needs work, but is pretty complete. Complete is gooood for these old Ovals as parts are expensive.

I need to pick it up in a few weeks, so I can post some pictures then.

Prolly put it on the '72 pan I have... It is currently getting stripped and restored. German Look style of course!!! The brakes need worked out and the rear end of course. The pan needs pretty much totally R&Red to fit the GL needs.

The wheels are almost all here. Dish wheels like on the '66 - keeping with a theme 16x6 52et front and 16x7 65et rears. Yokohama AVID rear tires 225/55R16s pretty big, but shoudl fill out the wheel wells.

Also I should have the 4 spoke Porsche steering wheel tomorrow

Honestly the top will stay pretty stock looking just because Ovals look cool straight away. Inside the only changes might be a Porsche steering wheel, Berg shifter, and Autometer under dash tach.

Engine is pretty up in the air... Pier pressure might dictate a T4

I am pretty pumped as I have been lusting after an Oval for like 5 years.

More to come...
