This was a project brought together by the Make a Wish foundation, Judd
Carpenter (LVVWC member), and The Wagen shop in Las Vegas. I'm not
100% sure of how the story goes but it something like this. Kyle, a 16 year
old kid has a very serious condition called CS. He was contacted by the
Make A Wish fondation and was asked what a wanted to enrich his life. His
answer was to fix up his sad little 68 bug. Kyle is a memebr of the same
church as a memebr of the LAs Vegas VW Club member Judd Carpenter.
Not sure of the particulars but somehow the Make a Wish, through Judd,
contacted George at The Wagen VW shop in LAs Vegas about fullfilling
Kyle's wish. George jumped at the chance and with a limited budget from
MAke A Wish George went about rebuilding the bug. Now George didn't
want cut any corners and knew the budget wouldn't allow the level of
completion that he wanted to give back. He contacted a few shops that
either discounted or gave parts to the project, the paint was heavily
discounted and turned out top notch, the interior was dome by Classic
VDubs as well as other stuff, the LAS Vegas VW Club donated countless
hours of labor as well as numerous shops, clubs, and individuals that
either donated time, parts, or cash money to get the project conpleted.
The reveal was planned at the Church the family belongs to and the
congregation, VW community, and various media outlets gathered to
watch Kyle's wish come true. It was a very emotional monent when Kyle
layed eyes on his completely rebuilt and customized bug. There weren't
too many dry eyes for a few minutes as Kyle gave George a hug and
thanked him for everything. Below is a few photos of the event. I'm sure
George will add to this and mention all the individuals involved amd set
any parts of the story straight that I got wrong. What an awsome
experience and one that I will never forget. Please add any extra
comments that I left out as well as photos. Great job George and
congrats Kyle !!!
