Pic of Ole Girl

Well she is coming along. Wish I could post some of the high res shots. These just don't do her any justice.

RJ - Looking good (hi-res or not)! What is your assessment of the targa? Does it leak? Excessive flex? I have the cab, and don't experience any of the body flex, except I do have some leaks when it rains. I really like the functionality of the targa, but not real fond of the lines, but yours really makes me reconsider.

nice looking car RJ! I'm a targa driver myself and prefer the targa lines to the cab lines so to each his own. I have considered going to a cab conversion with the speedster humps--I like that look--just seems to flow better. I've got a ducktail on my targa.

Great looking Targa. Don't change a thing!
I too prefer the lines of a Targa, except for the rear end. It sort of reminds me of a girl with no @ss.

Looking good RJ! I assume the wiring problems you had have been sorted out?

I love my Targa with the top off. With the top on tho it leaves a lil to be desired. So, I normally just keep it off I don't get too much flex and now that I've replaced all the seals it doesn't leak anymore. At least that I can tell... very rarely in heavy heavy rain. I think the car is exceptional and I don't get too much flex at all.

I'm happy with the color too. It had to grow on me but after 2 years I'm glad I repainted it factory.

I did finally sort out the wiring mess. I'm happy to say everything works once again. Thanks for the kind words. It's not perfect but I like it that way. Gives me projects to do and I'm not afraid to drive it. I'm just glad I get to enjoy it before winter. Thinking of putting in new T-bars and rebuilding the drive train. I've also got to redo the wheels. Hard to tell but they are polished and painted body color.

Niiiice Targa! I AM biased, but that's a fine example. (Just repainted mine in factory color, too.)
