911 Targa SC conversion to... :D

[noboco]

Hi there!

I am a very proud owner of 911 targa 3.0sc 1982, widebody. That was my dream!
Unfortunatelly a visual condition of the car wasn't very good so I decided to rebuild the car a little to make my own version of 911

I'll be updating the status of work here.
You can follow the job also here:

I hope the things will move on quickly from now on.... more updates soon

The engine went to my mechanic. Diagnosis shocked me! Crankshaft seals and some more seals replacement and... That's all! The rest is fine in a very good condition.

And the rolling chassis:

Laminates. Why laminates will you ask? There are a few reasons:
First of all I love shape of classic 911 from 1969-73. Long bonnet, horn grills, duck tail are fantastic!
Secondly, weight. Laminates weight nothing.
Thirdly, price. But it doesn't matter because weight and old shape are most important for me.






I love the way how Singer do it. I bought metal, leaky mats


The Devil is in the details. Horngrills!


Lamp lenses and housing.

Hi !
Thanks for nice words

So... which wheels? I have a few more options


Next metamorphosis. Interior ledges between glass and upholstery. These elements are very visible that's why they should be

perfect. They are perfect

I didn't know that renovation of targa bar is so hard! Fortunetaly "hard" means that I need more time, not that it's "impossible"
