Members:
I am a newbie to this site and have not been able to find the info I am looking for. I live in Northern California and was wondering if anyone knew of a shop/garage in Northern California that has done WRX/914 conversions. I am looking for a shop/garage that prides itself on doing sanitary conversions. Thanks Bill |

None that I know of. Your best bet is to find someone who is familiar with conversions or has done a few and work with them.
The other option you have is Renegade Hybrids in Vegas. Prepare to bring your wallet. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) DBCooper passed away about 8 months back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) That is extremely sad news to hear. I bought the transmission out of his 914 for a great price, and since he had to come up here for something, he even delivered it. Saved me a ton, and had a nice chat w/ him when he got to my place. |

The builder of DBCoopers 914 is a guy named Jeff out in Modesto, I sent him a PM for his phone number thru a Volvo forum that we are on.
Sad to hear about DBCooper. |

That is horrible news. I would email back and forth with Paul over the years catching up on the various projects he was doing with his son. I think the most recent was an LS swap volvo.
Almost got the blue car that was build with his son. Contact DBCopper on this forum. he had his done somewhere in NorCal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) DBCooper passed away about 8 months back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I asked him about his father and he said he had passed away. |

Awe man, this is the first I've heard of his passing. Paul was a good guy. I knew wasn't feeling well but he never made a big deal of it. I can't believe that wasn't posted here. Godspeed Paul. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I'd second Brody. Talked with him at length a few years ago. Saw some pics of his work then too. I've never been to his shop or met him in person though. Just judging by how knowledgable he was on the phone plus some pics he sent me. |

Very sad news. I was just about to PM him and ask if everything was OK since he had been MIA on the forum. That sucks. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) And (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Oh man that is sad news (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I agree with both sentiments. We don’t usually welcome folks in such a somber way. |

It was just a shock to hear about Paul. Such a good person.
I think this is Brody's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G1a7fd3Ph0 And to tie it all together, here is Paul (DBCooper)'s WRX powered 914 in a couple of drag races: vs Mustang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6JxpYwqUMs vs GTO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHb2uWrCnYE |

Wow. That passing came out of the blue. He and I swapped quite a few PMS about 'Bob Dobbs'.
Good luck on your conversion. |
