Talking Rotary and VW BBQ in Kent - June 16

The new Rotary Rockets of Washington Club, along with Franklin's VW Werks, is holding a grand opening on June 16th (Saturday) with a BBQ and all VW and rotary owners are invited to attend.

Come on down and check out a 13B powered Baja, a rotary GLC, a Supercharged '83 RX-7, and a couple other 1st gens and rotary projects. Not to mention a bunch of really great classic air cooled VWs.

The shop is located just down the road (84th) about a mile from Boeing Surplus. It's in the same building complex as Carbs Unlimited, just to the far left.

The address is:
18817 East Valley Hwy, Ste E
Kent, WA. 98032

Phone: (425) 251-1992

Check out this thread for some pictures of the shop from about a month ago. http://www.franklinsvwwerks.com/phpb...ic.php?t=10825

I'll post more up to date info as the date gets closer.

The list so far is:

Post in this thread if you're interested. See you there.

Hi Im new here but this definately sounds interesting. I am in the process of gathering parts so I can stick a 13b in a bug so I will definately come down and check out that baja.

Will the owner of the baja be willing to answer some questions because I have plenty to ask. Hopefully see you there!

This describes me and my friends. Vdubs and Rotories. I'll be sure to be there. Probably 6 friends (2 MkII gti's, 2 MKI rabbits, and two 71 campers)

There should be enough parking for everyone. The VW/rotary shop shares a parking lot with Carbs Unlimited and they're not there on Satrudays, so there should be plenty of parking.

Just a reminder. It's this Saturday.

The open house will run from 10AM to 6PM. The BBQ will be somewhere in between.

You'll both be there in spirit then.

It's tomorrow!

Top of the Line GPS just became available. It looks like the shop is going to start installing them.

Hey I just found out it's potluck. Don't let that stop you from coming. Bring something from home and you're in.

Hey we had a great time! Lots of bug people showed up and also two rotary guys. Chris and KompressorLOgic. Nice to talk about rotaries with you guys again.

I think the coolest part was it only rained once the whole time.
