Show up for coffee and donuts between 9AM and 1PM. Any and all welcome. Then on Sunday, really piss off the wife, and attend the NORCAL TREFFEN in Concord.

Per Jim's suggestion / invitation I drove to EASY to continue the good-natured argument about early 911 headliner color availability over a couple of proper micro-waved apple fritters. Naturally he won by virtue of impeccable logic and more real-world experience with all models of Stuttgart's finest than almost any number of members on the Registry put together.
Small turnout, cool, windy, cloudy morning but a couple of interesting cars showed up: a SWB early 911 with a late-model Subaru WRX turbo motor, and a Corvair of all things, with a cleanly & neatly installed 3.6 liter flat six and the entire 993 4S donor car drive line / suspension thrown in for good measure. The owner dryly mentioned that it took rather more effort than he had originally planned to make it all work, but that the end result proved to be most satisfying.
The obligatory pilgrimage to Fantasy Junction yielded a beautiful, freshly restored 906.........nice start to the last "free" weekend prior to the Monterey Historics - as always, the site picks the order in which it wants the photos to appear and totally disregards my wishes, but I think you can figure out what I'm trying to say pictorially.

John, remember the "trick" of naming your uploads A[title].jpg, B[title].jpg, C[title].jpg, etc. and the site will order them alphabetically.Originally Posted by John Z Goriup
Also, seeing as how a Scooby-doo is a "kettle," where are the water works on that blue car?

John,
As much as I hate to correct you, that looks like it was an early SWB 912. Having done the conversion of a SWB 912 to a SWB 911 I can describe in detail the headache of cutting the right side of the engine compartment sheet metal to accommodate the oil tank filler and return line. Maybe the 911 engine mounts threw you off?
Otherwise Bravo!
Cheers,
Mike
