tires and wheels Who Will Win Best Resto Candidate At Socal Vintage This Year?

[steve k.]

Once again, SoCal Vintage BMW Meet will have "The Best Restoration Candidate" award on October 19th at Van Nuys.  And this year it will come with a Free Year of FAQ Use and a BMW2002FAQ Hotwheels Car

 

Who will take it home this year? Will it be SoCal or NorCal car? Or may be someone from out of state.

 

It is time for you to show what you got?  Or if you have someone you think should win, post the photos and info. The car has to be present at the show to win.

It's called SoCal Vintage for a reason.

[steve k.]

is this only for 2002 or all vintage-bmw that 700 was unreal

the 700 won Best Original, Best Early Model, Bimmer Magazine's Choice Award & Best of Meet, so not sure if that really qualifies for a "Best Restoration Candidate"

But the award is open to all cars at the show. So bring yours out.

Thanks Dog!

Ok, this thread is useless without pictures. I know my car is on a different path, but some of you guys have just normal road cars that are not pampered garage queens that deserve this trophy.

Steve, I finished this ground up restoration in June, Just in time for Bimmerfest. Way too much fun to keep in the garage. See you on the 19th.

That car would have been a great candidate for the award prior to restoration. Now it can probably win some other ones. So we need more cars like it was at the show. Bring what you got, this is not a "spit'n shine" show.  It's a gathering of friends surrounded by cars.

LOCATION,......

 

is THE ONLY obstacle keeping me from claiming that prize.

 

i've been daily driving my 02 to work since March and it desparately needs an interior and a paint job.

 

...and currently, working turn signals.

Finally an award I might get prior to the resto being done!  Been to embarrassed to have it on the green in previous years.

early '71 Sahara, daily driver, original paint, only rust is in rear tire well.  Needs some love which has been slow in coming.  Hopefully bonus points will be possible with the KGB Racing sticker.

Andrew, there's nothing to be embarrassed about there, man!!

Competition is open to all Vintage BMWs, including the the 323. Bring them both out for people to see. Even if you do not win the award, people will enjoy seeing these things.
