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.
The engine: Instagram
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.

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"
