Were now down to less than 3 weeks before the start of the Great Canadian Weekend, Will your car be there? Be sure to pre register Sat morning at Airspeed during the Pancake breakfast. This will get you in past the long LONG line up and right into your class/spot.
Were expecting more cars than ever this year so be sure to come early and enjoy the entire day!
We have many new sponsors this year and a ton of great prizes!
There is a new addition to the park this year. They have added a number of Volleyball courts beside the swap/waterpark. All are on sand so be sure to bring a ball and enjoy the park.
So let's hear who will have their cars at this years event (Sunday)
Please forward the show info to any and all VW friends who may want to come out and see the show.
Thanks.
Geoff.

I just got done finishing up hotel resevations and just got to change the oil in my car this week and I will be good to go. looking forward to comming up. :)
-
I was thinking of maybe bringing out my 67 .Drove it to the Java Hut last Fri. It was kind of fun ;) Thanks to Dale's Alignment for gettin er done ! It drives a lot more straight now( especially after I put the steering wheel on the right way)I can barely sleep thinking about all the little details to finish up .I'm sure most of you can relate!
-
Is there going to be a class for long travel rails with Honda engines in them? :wacko: :blush: It has a VW tranny!!
-
hey bring some pre registry forms to mission as well.
-
Gotta get the swing lever kit installed in my 67 bus, then put it thru the Provincial MVI. Should be able to get it done in time. Otherwise it'll be the 66 beetle. Either way I'll be there.
-
i won't have my liscence returned to me by that time
i'll come down and hang out, but the beast won't be there
-
all i have to do is, install the new front suspension, custom machine some shock towers, install line lock, completely redo my fuel system front to back, install adjustable spring plates. redo oil lines, and get an alignment... other than that im good to go! :P

but what about the giggle

yes.

will do.
This will get you in past the long LONG line up and right into your class/spot.
cars will be parked according to class, or will we have the option to park beside a buddy if we roll in together?
i'm totally stoked. this is my favourite weekend of the summer. B)
-
What there is a car show?? When?
-
giggle giggle we will see... :D
-
I wish my 65 Beetle would be ready to debut!
Unfortunately, it won't be done!
Everything is running along well, as Terry H. has rebuilt my engine and transmission!
Russ, has done an excellent job of powdercoating and hi-temperature coatings for stuff!
I will be getting Mr. Snapper to do the interior install, once the car gets back from Body & Paint.
I will be starting to put the front end together and begin assembly of the pan.
Thanks to Geoff for giving me advice on this!

PS. Geoff, I hope you liked the pics of the Classic!

Yes if you wish to park beside a friend we can work with you. Although we would rather have the cars in their classes.

That sounds like a club member or at least a prospects job..........

once again be at the Best Western Coquitlam, They are holding 20 rooms for the GCVWS guests.
There is a special rate of $109 a room, when you call in you must say it is for the group rate for the VW show. These rooms are on a first come first serve basis. They would like to have everyone book 60 days before the event.
If you have any trouble reserving a room you can ask for Tim the Manager.
If all the rooms go quick I may be able to get a few more but the sooner you book the better.
Best Western Coquitlam Inn Convention Centre
(604) 931-9011
319 North Road
Coquitlam, BC
When I called the person on the phone made it sound like the rooms were almost gone, and that was Sunday.

G-Dog...it's Darryl from Dale's Alignment. Your alignment turned out wicked. Love when things go so smoothly and there's nothing bent, loose or seized in the front end. Should have seen the super swweeett 67 Bug I aligned here last week from Airspeed. 2275cc and did it sound good! Very nice ground up. Later

Yeah, well you helping...if you want a nice spot :P
-
I'm hoping Jack Sacette gets my case back to me so the split will quit eating the #1 bearing, as it was never designed to be cut in half. Worst case is I drive the notch up again.
-
Let's see.
kroc 2275 - check
new seats - check
tuck and cover freshen up - check
paint wheels and mount wheels - check
aircare - oh well, I guess it will be a permit this year.

That is not going to make for a very good heads up race :lol:

why in the F@#K would I line up against a car, heads up, that at one time ran low 10s and should again?
of course I could play the odds............

I'm thinking an M-Van shoot out...

C-mon Larry you have 3 weeks! finish your car!
-
Yeah I wish I had the time for a swap spot but there is no chance in hell thats going to happen.
-
I think for the swap this year I'm going try to out do myself in how many parts I bring :o
Man am I gonna have to be up early :blink:
-
I sure miss not having the East Coast Great Canadian. Last one was in 2003 :(
-
Hah, i wanted my bus ready for the show a few years ago!... haha
close but i doubt i'll make it this year either. Too much partying this summer not enough working on the project.
Need to...
Get oil return line tapped into pan.
Install motor/tranny
Create rad support and run coolant lines(sorry h20 bastard swap)
run fuel lines
create exhaust
wire the standalone fuel system
remove my bumpstops and install the konis
Interior is getting close to completed - crackin the whip(my mom is graciously learning auto upholstery :P)
At that point I could possibly get a day permit for the show, but i don't think it'd be quite drive-able daaily for a bits.
I give it a 20% chance of a showing ... damnit, still need to redo the rear poptop(since the towtruck driver let the other blow away :P)...
I'll show thou either way... no other acvw to bring thou :(... sold my beater busses.
-
The orange is ready. I think (hope ) I need to adjust my valves again. Set the point gap and giv'er
-
Ah....lets not talk about it....i'm suddenly depressed! :P
-
