Took Friday off to take my son up to Sun 'n Fun in Lakeland FL for a Cub Scout event where he got his first small aircraft flight. He built a balsa glider and built and launched his first model rocket. AND I missed a visit from my first local 914.

A few months back a guy ( Who oddly enough works less than a block from my workplace ) stopped by my house to speak with me about my 914. On friday he stopped by to show me the '71 he got off of CL about 3 weeks ago.

At least I now have a local teener to commiserate with.

My 75 2.0 soon to be 914/6 conversion is yellow. Thanks for sharing. I purchased my car from an orthodondist in Fort Myers in 1983. He was the original owner...he bought it from the Porsche Dealer in Sarasota at the time and had a new 911SC on order from Val Ward Porsche. I grew up in Cape Coral. Nice to hear from a fellow teener in my old stoppin grounds! Which car is yours in the pics? What year is the car he got on CL? I live in Orlando now. You can check out my build thread... http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=88031&hl=

The Samurai was my daily drive and just for S+G project. I dropped a 1.6L Turbo Diesel out of an 85 Jetta into her. It is a junkyard dog, but she gets 29 mpg. A little lift and some poly seats, and you got yourself some fun times. She motors right through crap that guys with "real" trucks get stuck in.

Mine is the 76 with the BUBs and the 5 lug conversion. I spoke with the owner of the 71 a few months back and he said he was looking, but I have had quite a few people tell me that, so I was surprised he actually came back to see me with one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

My wife was great and took a lot of pics for me, but she forgot to get his contact info. I will be directing him here the next time I see him. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I believe the Samurai is to the four-wheel world what the 914 is to the Porsche world -- a well-kept secret. When I lived in Utah, I transplanted a Sidekick fuel-injected 1.6 engine (replacing the carb'd 1.3), built a custom 4-link coil rear suspension (using '86 Jetta front springs and homebuilt heim-jointed links) and loooong jeep wrangler rear springs over the front axle, and installed 4.16:1 t-case gears, 5.13 gears and diff lockers front/rear. I also crafted an on-board air compressor system (so I could re-seat 33" tires that popped off the rims on the trail; I ran ~10psi), and adapted a Toyota Celica power steering box to it. That homebrewed rock-crawler embarrassed jeeps and landbruisers on the most difficult Moab trails, as well as the trails throughout northern Utah. They'd laugh at my "toy" until they were watching me walk away while they busted out their winch straps...
