And now for something completely different......

I acquired a Porsche 914 motor in the early 90's and kept it for a "rainy day" project...I decided on an early VW transporter to receive the motor and become a practical driving classic, so I started a build that was interrupted by 15 years to move house 5 times - once across the Atlantic and twice across the States...stored and preserved as a "long block" per the above (but with motor oil). Finally settled on a 1969 factory Double Cab pickup truck 5 years ago - it was perfect! = no gearbox and engine - just a huge hole. So it’s been running for 3 years now - no storage or rehab issues - started right up (had to add carbs and accessories to complete it). Makes about 120Bhp and around 20 smiles to the gallon

So on a milsurp note - I can get for around $200 NOS Nato rifle mounts for the dashboard - ideally for a G3, but I have and prefer an L1A1...was torn between these and cup holders...I may use the upper rifle clamps as cup holders just as a novelty
