Bug Run Classic 2015

Probably the best BRC yet for me, because i got to spend the whole week there for the first time. Cause now i got my own tent trailer to sleep in, last year i slept in the backseat of La Cholita and that sucked hard.

Me and the boys from my town had a great little camp.

as usual i was filming the whole event, and a movie is coming up.
but you can find a bunch of photos in my gallery HERE

Mike Unland puts the D in Detail

If you are in the VW scene you problably already seen it.

When i first came across Mike Unland’s picture of his 59 vert pan sittin on the ground
outside his garage with the Rotiform FUC’s on it, i tought this is a project to follow.

But back then i didn’t even know who the floorpan belonged to, Now i know and i have him
on my Facebook and i have fliped thru his build photos, and i got to say, the man got an great
eye for the details.

And now he has nailed it again with a set of DIY split wheels for his 1956 beetle.
Using a stock steel center and puting some big ass polished lips on them.

And it looks killer.

The 59 vert pan with the FUC’s
