Yes mate, it looks great as is. It is a factory carrera sport though and I have the original wing, valance, spoiler, lights etc. i think I will fit them at some stage.
-
Did you say you had a Mod07 like mine in Daisy you might sell Shirish?
-
Agreed, steering effort would increase and you may impair visibility of the dials. Iāve got a couple of 350mm and 370 mm wheels - canāt decide which i prefer. You can borrow it until you sell your car

Nice work there, Targas really suit the non-Sport look. If youāre around in April, try and get yourself to Bicester Heritage https://bicesterheritage.co.uk/whaton/january/ If anything, it could be a good climate test for your roof!

Hi guys A quick note to say thanks to everyone who offered advise and support to buying our IB Targa. I found the ideal car through one of your members and it is now safely tucked away for winter awaiting our return in April next year to start our UK and Euro trip. I was told that getting insurance for an non resident would not be possible but found it no trouble whatsoever through Lockton insurance. Huge thanks to Anthony from Porsche inspections for an awesome job in finding that one car I looked at was not the real deal. Saved me a lot of grief. he also mentioned that the car we bought was one of the best heād seen in a long while, so thatās great piece of mind. So now we are proud impact bumper owners and we canāt wait to get to enjoying it on our big trip next year thanks again guys for all your help Merry Christmas Rob

Use of a jig is critical with a targa, as is the use of highest quality sills, and seam welding rather than spot. I used the very slightly thicker sills from 'Restoration Design' They were also galvanised at birth. My bodyshop was very impressed with the quality.
-
Still shiny topside, and had its bottom stripped, (stone-chip) recoated and completely dinitroled in every nook and cranny in the summer. Rust protected... hopefully... š

A sticker would be great
-
A Jig only gets the eye pick up points in the correct place which is of course very important if major reconstruction is undertaken , panel gap is down to the attention and skill of the builder . I know how you feel mine was shiny once
-
And look at the dirt!!! Thats what 1500 miles since restoration does. I finished (haha - of course it never is) in October 2017
-
Are these any help? Had to crawl under the car as I'm not able to access my resto photo-log this evening. And loom at the dirt!!! Thats what 1500 miles since restoration does. I finished (haha - of course it never is) in October 2017

Deano, they are yours. Message me your address and I'll get them in the post over the weekend. Don't worry about the postage cost, next time you see someone collection for charity, throw a quid in for me and I'm happy. Cheers AT

Thanks for group hug guys xxxxxx
-
Agreed, otherwise the idle speed would increase!
-
Yeah second time around mine was put on a jig, and the gaping is fantastic .
-
Yes, A jig is essential for extensive bodywork. My 74 narrow body Targa was also in a very poor condition before restoration. It was expertly welded up - lots of new panels - by the world reknowned Chesterton Coachworks using a Celette jog set to exactly the right settings.. They did a first class job.
-
Iāll take them if theyāre still available. Happy to offer the postage. š

Generous offer - I know they're not cheap on a 3.2.
