Vintage VW Street Machines Contest

tardis454 · 07-15-2012, 11:35 PM

Hey S-10 forum, I haven't been here in ages, glad to see the forums still going strong!
I've been doing a frame off resto of my V8 S-10 & working on my wife's 70's VW dune buggy.
My father in law gave us his VW dune buggy & I'm in the process of restoring it.
I recently got an email from Appletree Auto saying they're having a VW contest.
So, I entered...

Voting started July 9th & ends Aug 9th. You can vote a couple times daily until Aug 9th.
The prize is a gift card to their VW parts store which we could use to finish the restoration.
Check out the link below & vote if you can. Thanks for the support & wish us luck!

I've been a member of TheSamba since the day I got the dune buggy.
Great site, there's a ton of info, & the guys there are pretty helpful.

Those are my wife's legs, & she'll kick you with em, ask me how I know!

bg's · 07-16-2012, 04:26 PM

I hope you restore that steering wheel as well. That looks like an orig
Grant from the early 70's. Those wheels are over a 100 bucks new.
Being an oldie makes it that much sweeter.

I want it to be like dad in law had it back in the day.
It's a one of a kind dune buggy, & it needs to stay that way.

tardis454 · 07-17-2012, 10:33 AM

We're well on our way to 600 votes but still have a long way to go. I re-read the contest rules & realized what's happening. There are 2 classes, Vintage VW Street (I entered our buggy in this class) & VW Off Road. Currently we are in 1st place in the Vintage VW Street category! The 2 top guys are in the Off Road class. At any rate please keep the votes coming in we still need all the votes we can get!!!

We are in 1st in the Vintage VW class! But only by 152 vote margin!
