Bring it and lets do it. We still need a good sized project for the weekend.
You just have to arrive before Sunday afternoon and stay until we get done. _________________ 73 Typ481

I've got my front beam project to keep me busy, but the wife is talking about a new tent canvas on her bus. How hard was that last year Greg? |

I can tighten lug bolts in Jimbear's bus;-)
Michael Taylor will be bringing a stock rebuilt engine that has a mystery issue that I'll diagnose and hopefully fix.
My clutch pedal goes to the floor and I haven't made time to fix it yet. I hope to fix it before then?
I'm going to Rich and Vanessa's wedding Sat. night, probably leaving Volkstock around 4:30ish.
Can't wait! _________________ '69 Bug, 1776, dual kadrons, Web 111 cam

It was pretty time consuming and painful. I was glad James was there to provide guidance. I'm not sure I would feel competent to take lead on the project. _________________ 1969 Beetle

Have a 76 Westy that we just put a new drive train in and am waiting on parts to arrive now for the following. I will have the heater "system", Shift rod bushings, upper brake reservoir, steering coupler and maybe a windshield to do..... Not sure how much we will get done before this weekend.
Will be looking forward to meeting you all now that the bus is finally on the road after being down since YUBUGGIN. |

Come one. come all!!
VOLKSTOCK is upon us....Inge and I are excited to open our home, garage, pool, toilets, fridges, showers, etc to the Athens VW Club and all of its followers.
Please note if you are planning to stay over night, you will need a place to sleep. At this time 'El President' and his son have pre-reserved our C-Class accomodations. Gary has volunteered to set up his A-Class Motorhome. We have the 2 bedrooms in the house available. We have the 2 couches in the SWAMP and the mattress above the SWAMP.
Please let us know if you need a place to stay as soon as possible as it is first come first serve. Please post your request on the site to be considered.
In case you need a phone # for the weekend in case you can't find us. You can call our home (678)425-0138 or Ken's cell (678)425-7465.
Inge and I can't wait to have all of our friends and those soon to be friends over for a great weekend of VW repairs, stories, new beer offerings and just a darn good time!!
See ya'll soon!

My family is going to attempt to sleep in our bus for the first time with a rigged window ac. If it's not to much to ask I'd like an electrical plug and bathroom access. |
