New to the list
 

Thought I should introduce myself after lurking for a few weeks. I built a 914-6 17 years ago and have always missed it so I bought an 84 Targa after a lot of looking. Since I am somewhat picky, well ok, really picky (Like most Porsche owners), I thought it would be better to buy one that needed work for less money so I could afford to do what I wanted to the car and not spend a fortune. Finally found an 84 with a transmission problem that was really clean. I drove it home and jumped into restoration (although it ran really good). What I am working on depends on what parts arrive in the mail! You can see the ongoing work at

Welcome to the board Paul. This is a great resource, wish I would have found it before I bought my car. I could not get your link to work, even when I cut & paste. Please post some pics with details.

Try going to my Profile and clicking on my home page. It seemed to work fine there.

cut and paste worked for me ...
 

Cut and paste worked for me. The car looks great. Nice set of pictures too. Looks like a ton of work was done. Enjoy!

Wow, talk about jumping in with both feet. That is quite a project you have going. Looks like you have a well equipped shop & plenty of room. What are you using for a technical reference? Looks like your going to be busy for awhile, I'll keep an eye on your web page. http://www.sayegh.org/Paul/porsche.htm

Yes, I have a pretty nice shop at my house, 1200 sq ft. plus a garage. Shop has Lathe, Mill, Tig, Mig, press etc. Been a Machinist and home mechanic all my life and I always enjoy a project like this. I brought the 911 home, gave the wife a ride and then tore the whole car apart to go through the car mechanically but I just couldn't stop ordering parts....go figure, it's some sort of disease!! My wife just laughes at me but she comes out for a look once and awhile. I already sent the wheels to Al Reed for a refinish. It should be a nice car when finished but I can not drive a 20 year old car without checking\rebuilding all the important mechanical issues first, I am rather anal about such things. I want to be able to hop in it and never worry about anything. Bought a Bentley book for the transmission but haven't used it much as the car is pretty simple.
