Here's my new to me 84 Carrera.

A shot of my 1977 Carrera 3.0 after a couple of days of detailing. I've had this car for a while now & seeing how nicely it came up made me feel a little bad about not having it look like that all the time.

A friend of mine just bought this almost immaculate, original 76' in continental orange. Beautiful colour !

Love it! The two together really compliment each other!

Whooohoooo! C3 Targas are the bomb! And pretty rare in yellow.

Thanks Bear - I'm not usually a yellow fan but when I saw this car some ten years back it just seemed.....right.

Wow, she's/he's a great color.
Matching wheel centers finish your car well.

My 71 2.2E Targa, Now a speedster

[FLYONWALL9]

OKAY,
So, it is not a photo of my TARGA; you can find that in earlier pages.

What I would like to know is, what OUTDOOR cover do you chaps most like? Keeping
in mind I live in the most rain soaked city in the USA. Also, would you suggest the
http://www.***************/carbrella-for-targas-for-porsche.html as a good product.
If the link does not work it is for the Carbrella TARGA top cover.

LASTLY, and this one may get me tossed out... Lets say you find yourself with a few
inches of water in the rear floor pans. Where does one find a ONE WAY drain plug?

I started with recovering the centers of my ratty torn seats, I am redoing
my doors like a 993 where the center panel will be redone to match the
centers of my seats. I'll keep the door top trim panel black along with the
dash and rear shelf, while the rest of the seat, majority part of the door
and rear panels to be done in the red to match the houndstooth.

OK...that's cool, I think a half height Targa bar would set it off.

Targa+Speedster= SPARTA

Okay Cappy, you'll have to figure the drain your self but the cabrella is a nice option to have when your top is off and you out for a few hours (in a safe place) and you don't want air born junk on your seats. Won't handle heavy rain as far as I can tell and you cannot drive with it on. In summer I hang my Targa on the wall for a week or so when the weather is warmer here and predictable and use that during stops or getting back home rather than the Targa top.

mmmmm....Ok Lumbergh,
Targa top was my meaning. The rest of the car sits on all four wheels.
