If you left your 69 Targa in a field in TX...
 

dude, ur high

Put it back in the field.

lookin good.

are you sure it came out of a field though? lake, river, or waterfall?

field of screams

if you build it, it will rust

If it wasn't Shaun, I say someone was laying the groundwork for a "Vin Switch"........

That'll buff out.

Dibs on the chrome rear window & windshield trim and the chrome vent windows when you finally return to reality and realize that's not going to be a good idea. . .

give some positive inforcement......

you can do it!

Too far gone.

Sorry.

You actually bought that hulk?

Coming from someone with a lifetime experience in the automotive business: WOW.

They made a movie about this car, it was called Mission Impossible.

What, are you nutz? That will take the rest of your life and still not be right.

now that's a challenge I'm up for!

thank you Bob, I really appreciate that.

If you really are going to take this on, what's the game plan?

I recommend reading through the Technical thread, but if I end up doing the welding work on the floors, I'll build a jig (picture a box of horizontal latters using 3" square tubing) onto which I'll bolt the unibody at the torsion bar tube and the steering rack crossmember mounting points. Then fix the front gas tank support, bolt that up, then get to work on the center of the car.

please.......tell me this is some form of "social experiment"

As the saying goes "Money fixes anything". Just don't go around and try to sell it in the next 100 years or so.:eek:

By the time that car is restored to the point where it can be driven somewhat safely, gas will be $100 a gallon and cars will be illegal.

he's not going to get it done by next year...

You can definitely re use the steering wheel and the 911S trim. The rest looks like 1 step down from scrap.

Just because you can does not mean you should.

As Seinfeld would say; "Good luck with all that."

I think you'd finish quicker whittling one from a block of billet. :D

Or he could just spend the same # of hours it would take working at a 7-eleven + the $$ that would be used and buy the best one in the world. Start driving tomorrow. To the 7-eleven. :)

Being from the rust belt, (one of the many reasons that car nuts move to the mecca of SoCal), I'd rather own a dry '77 924 w/ automatic trans than that soggy turd. And it's a targa, for chrisakes!! Your family is going to commit you.

Doesn't Billy Mays sell something that'll make that look like new?

I think the only thing left after media blasting will be the 911S logo...

oh sure, blame the media :p

That guy reminds me of one of the rednecks from the Pulp Fiction "Gimp" scene.

Therefore i find his commercials very unsettling. LOL.

I, for one, applaud the effort, but it does make tilting at windmills look sane:)

I'm on your squad, though: "Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor!"

Targa hater.

Tphhhht!

LOL! the wheels alone on this car are worth more than the nicest 77 auto 924 in the world!:D

We all make our choices in life.

Thanks Paul, sanity has never been a strong point. Everyone here knows that! I think Mr. Hancock really hit the nail on the head on the Technical forum thread.

Put it on a piece of plywood and haul it to the front yard. Line it, Stick a pump in the cab and make it a fountain.
Sure beats the naked mermaid I've got my eyes on.
Some people have all the luck.

ebay is your friend.

Fool!
