Well, it's technically a Targa. Sort of.

Mike - I see new seats, beautiful wheels, new mirrors, headlights...

Enough changes to place the pics in the Restoration Before & After thread ---- - Show me your Before and After RESTO PIX

All wonderful and cool - but a front oil cooler is the kind of "cool" that the engine likes!

Are you talking about the tyvek (sort of 'super' paper) or thin cardboard envelopes? And where do you tape them? to the clips, to the targa frame? to the targa bar?

Thanks

67S, soft window.. Since this pic was taken, I have added the correct 4.5 Fuchs, lowback sport seats, Hella 128 fogs, and will be adding a rear muffler skirt.

Tom,
I meant the thin cardboard envelopes. They have some glossy coating on the outside. While there may be ways to adjust the clips to stop the squeaks, my cheapo solution has worked fine for 8 months and when the top is installed, you can't see the paper. Holy cow, I even used scotch tape to hold them in. lol.


I get ZERO squeaks this way.
