Toyota Aygo daily driver immediately to the side. '82 924 S2 Turbo in the background - since sold to help fund building the 911. As my wife said, you can't drive two cars at once! :-(

Gotcha. Looking w/o expanding the side view mirror makes the toy look very “curvy”

Totally get that. Mine was a basket-case and it's been 8 years of perseverance and $$ to get it to a high performing, reliable, and good looking piece.

Just got my '84 back on the streets a couple weeks ago. Fresh from the paint shop (had to do it twice unfortunately) but done now. Super happy with the decision to modify the engine to a 3.4 hot rod. There are still a few minor things to work through but that will happen in good time.

Lake Guy, I like it! did you delete the rear bumperettes? If so, how about a side profile shot?

According to Google Targa translates to "licence plate". I see a licence plate in the picture!

As much as I love a coupe, there are plenty of coupe threads out there!

Hmmm that was pretty weak bro! Regardless of the translation, for the record this model was named after the Targa Florio race. Not a "license plate." oh, and check your spelling.

All in good fun!
