Twenty years later, it still makes me smile.
so open the image in an image editor and make it smaller or save it with a different compression ratio.

Is that Casablanca Beige Metallic? I like it, but I'm biased and are those Recaros?

My Targa

Guys,

I put about 1 1/4 inch of electrical tape on the two rear post and the noise reduced 80%.
You can experiment with how much of length of tape. 5 min job.
I have not experiment yet on the front.
Attached is my Targa.

Hi everyone,

I've finally joined the air cooled club with my recent purchase of dnovick's lovely 1985 Iris Blau Targa. A big thank you to Dave for making the sale happen and also to both Winslow and Daniel at Moorespeed Austin for helping out with some last minute maintenance prior to my 800 mile drive home! The extra peace of mind was a big relief and I highly recommend them to anyone around Austin.

I finally got to give her a proper wax and polish today so here she is.

New to this forum - fantastic place!

Originally a 1978 Targa - now backdated R-style, 3.2 Max Moritz. Rolling project!

Still very cold in Northern Europe, but can't resist
