That has been on the make me list for some time.. I really want to get around to it because the coffin almost didn't make it home in one piece either!<br /><br />The racks come in super duper handy! It has been the most versatile car I've owned and it's the reason I'm a VW nut now. I want a VW truck so bad! The single cabs look like a bus up front and the sides of the truck fold down making a flat bed.. One of these days!!The Dismal Traderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546387636491054487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374008344099346864.post-29564874665672322412012-02-26T11:11:28.655-08:002012-02-26T11:11:28.655-08:00I wish I added a roof rack to mine back then.

A half block block away they became a sail and snapped the ropes. There's nothing more surreal then seeing a storm of luan boards flying away behind you in the rear view mirror.Dave Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697644776554772725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374008344099346864.post-57973079707794848042012-02-25T19:04:08.793-08:002012-02-25T19:04:08.793-08:00Thanks, Dave! :)

I wasn't really into the car scene while growing up, but my Grandparents bought me a 1973 vw bug for my first car, and I have been wrenching on them ever since! I have hauled an obscene amount of oddities over the years in my bug! A lot of people only use the roof rack for looks, but mine gets a ton of wear and tear! Glad I could bring back a few memories! :) I certainly know my VW has led to its fair share of adventures!The Dismal Traderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546387636491054487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374008344099346864.post-65810321018045359162012-02-25T17:46:59.068-08:002012-02-25T17:46:59.068-08:00The table looks fantastic.
Your post brings back ...The table looks fantastic.<br /><br />Your post brings back a few memories. I owned a '67 VW Bug for years and often took the passenger seat out to make room for hauling props and stuff in. I really miss that car.Dave Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697644776554772725noreply@blogger.com
