I saw this 914 convertible going the otherway, so I did a u-turn and tracked it down. Owner was already gone into one of the stores so I wasn't able to get any details. But I got a couple of pics with my cell phone.

I am under the impression the top and frame must be off of another porsche. I sent Bob, the owner of Beach Boys Racing a email about what parts are available.I bought a kinda instruction dvd about the conversion but it is pretty mixed up. I know he sells the fg parts on ebay but I don't see the top or frame anywhere so I only assume they are a porsche part. Boxter or something. Also some of the cars have the windshield laid back and a different side window and vent window approach.

How I watched the whole thing is still a mystery to me but I got the impression that he fabricated his own top using parts from various cars but then started using 911 Speedster parts when they came out. |
