My Porsche fascination began back in the early 70's racing 917 Can Am slot cars in the basement of my house when I was 7 or 8 yrs old...When I was Freshman in college (1982-83)I began a searching for a 912. I couldn't find one in my price range. I met a woman taking some college courses and after studying on campus one evening I walked her out to her car. When when she stopped at a yellow 914 with For Sale sign in the back window I said "is this yours?" She replied..."no it belongs to my husband...he bought it new in 1975 at the dealer in Sarasota, FL. and he just ordered a new 911SC so this is up for sale". I asked her for the price and she told me she would have to let me know the next day. Within three days I purchased the car for $4750.00 with a loan from my dad. I drove it for a the balance of my college years at the University of Florida. Much fun...many autocrosses and few DE's with PCA. The car sat on jackstands in my aunts garage from 1988 until 2001. It had battery tray rot and needed an inner wheelhouse, rear floor pan etc. I began working on its restoration. About two years ago I decided to convert it to a six after picking up a motor and many conversion pieces from a guy who had planned to convert his 75 914 to a six...Within about a month I found out that another local guy here in Orlando by the name of Rick purchased the 75 roller from Jim.. the guy I bought the conversion bits from. After meeting him through PM on this site he told me he planned to convert the roller to a six as well ! The world of 914's is crazy...Here are a few pics of the car. I will begin posting more as the project progresses. Today I rough installed the RJ bulkhead mount.

I am in Melbourne doing a Raby 2270 in a rusty wreck.

Let me know if you need parts, I may have some rust repair stuff for you.

Hey Brian it's about time you get going on that conversion (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) How did the Rich Johnson mount install go? As you stated you purchased all the /6 conversion parts and I bought the roller.........................small world. Your car looks good and soon we'll drive them over to Tampa and give TC a hand with his " dealership of 914's " he has (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If you need anything just holler.

Thanks Fourblades and Rick! I really want to get this thing done. Here is a list of a few parts that are sitting in my garage awaiting installation

1. Powdercoated front suspension with M-Calipers 911 vented rotors and Bilstein
Sports
2. Powderoated 5 bolt conversion rear trailing arms compliments of Eric Shea at
PMB with 914/4 V-Caliper kits, vented 911 rotors and Bilstein Sports
3 GT engine lid from "Sergio" PCA7GGR on this site
4. 4-6x16 Fuchs
and many, many more

I want to be done before Rick. So, I really need some encouragement from my 914 brothers...carr914, URY914, SMG, rfuerst911sc, Glenn at Pelican Parts, 914rrr, and watsonrx13. Rick says he'll be done by Christmas.

Brian Git-R-Done. I took a ride over to URY's house today for the 1st time with the Mega-Phones sticking out the back. Afterword, I had two young chicks that wanted rides. I gave a ride to the one that I knew was of age. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/naughty.gif)

Brian, looks great....Glad to see you working on the car... I've finally figured out the FI on my second project car and hopefully will have it drivable (insured) soon. The weather should be turning cooler so I'll arrange another TBB. Let us know if you need some help in the near future...

B,

Wow, now you've advanced to posting pics and thinking about your car stage of the -6 conversion. Maybe another 8-9 years it will see the light of day.

Keep up the hard work. I know you'll git 'er done before Miller gets his Vette running. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
