Great looking project, I look forward to following it. Looks like a really solid base car, but with some talent and searching needed to finish her off. What's your time frame to finish?

I hope to be able to drive it before the end of the year, it will be a 3 or 4 year project to have it "finished" but I don't think they are ever really finished

Just bought and brought home on Tuesday. I tried to buy this same 56 Beetle in 2008 along with a slew of other VW's but the deal fell thru. Got one of them now.

May 1955. P.O. Labeled her Lucille. Solid matching chassis and body, incorrect 1500 engine. A few other incorrect bits, but I'm working on it.

Hey Everyone .. Just bought myself a 1957 Oval bug Smile
it's in a pretty bad shape, but had a lot of parts original .. A lot of panels need to be changed.. doors, fenders, and boot are swapped for later model ! all to be changed...
engine is not original one, but i tracked it down with it's serial number to be a 70 model ..
It has all the original suspension system and wheels/rims.
interior's a mess .. but so far no rust that can be seen, i hope it stays that way Very Happy
so far i tracked it's original color to be black, but not yet confirmed until i sand the whole body and check for historic paint Very Happy haha
i haven't looked a lot on this forum yet (i'm a newbie) but did the 57 Oval have semaphores?

I acquired this 56 about 20 years ago. It had been used as a drag racer and was sitting on a manualised semi-auto pan. I had intended to make it a cal looker, but never got around to it, got married had a child, bought a house, built another house, bought other toys etc etc.

Now I'm older the plan has changed. Its going to be a 90% technically correct resto. I intend the average person to look at it thinking it is an all original resto. I will just have to deal with those few people pointing out the incorrect pieces. The project should begin soonish, I've set up a special VW restoration bank account.

Hi! there,
here is my early 53' RHD from Mozambique (Moçambique).
Just came from south of France after a long barn-time in Portugal.
Need some work, but no welding (brakes, no engine, wrong splitcase from 1959, electricity... and global cleaning!)
