I don't want to ruin the party, but if you plan on driving it while in a wheelchair you might have a problem. If I remember right, the engine in those things is under the front seats.
I know someone who is in a wheelchair and has a minivan...he hits a button to open the side door and a ramp comes out. Then he just rolls up the ramp and into the drivers spot where the seat would be. He has all the control mounted up near the steering wheel so he can drive with his hands (gas and brake). This guys set-up is trick, but it is in a converted minivan. Just my two cents, Britain |

I will be lowering it to stablize it, and I'm not driving when finally in the chair. I can, however, help in driving it home. That would be fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) When in the chair, I will be tied down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) where the center seats are. Got it? |

If need be I could possibly get it through a couple of the states south of MI (OH, IN, IL)....i like the idea of having a bunch of 914 owners helping out by driving it for a couple states close to home. There are a lot of places to Greyhound to/from. It could work.

QUOTE(Hawktel @ Apr 24 2003, 02:08 PM) I ussualy don't advocate using Hydraulics, but imagine pulling up, dropping the frame rails to the ground, Have a flip ramp drop down. And out rolls the Turbo Chair... Ed Hachtel I was imagining the "hitting the switches". I think MDA would cover part of the outrageous cost. Would be slick, but more importantly, legit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Dave, what's the side door opening heigth? You'd mentioned that you measured chair heigth is 53". I used to have a pop top camper and it seemed the door was quite high. This would be great if the side door is high enough. Then all you'd need it the ramp or the lift. No expensive floor drop. Plus, if your head is too high once inside you can just open the sunroof!

Well...that is now the leading consideration for the new van motor, boxter 6...and after I am done with the resto I can decide on which one I get depending on how much cash I have left (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I have been thinking of doing a v8 conversion, but this would be alot cooler ...
Brad, you don't think we cold talk kennedy into making an adapter plate? Also, could I get some measurements of the engine...(gotta see how much cutting will be going on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)) Anyway, its too bad I am just starting on this project...cause I am going to do this one right and wait till the very end before swaping the engine...ahhh, atleast its fun to dream...

Tony,
I called old man Kennedy about 2 years ago and asked them when they where going to do an adapater for the Boxster engine... they asked the wrong question: "Why ??" Because you F-ING do adapters ??? I was furious. There happens to be a lot of business' stuck in their old ways and not willing to think ahead. It was a no brainer for me.. Humm... complete engines @trannies for 5k. Engines for 3500$...nah lets not make an adapter... B |
