Ed,
Ruby gave me the inspiration. Mine is Porsche Cayenne color called GTS Red. My compliments to the original. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.

Would you mine letting me know or PM'ing me some info on the process you used to polish your wheels. Mine are polished but I need to get them cleaned up as they have been sitting in a garage for years.

The wheel in the second picture does not look polished, the others do. I use mother's with the power ball and elbow grease on the rest.

[TeamAguilar]

Yeah, I thought that was the before and he had them polished or did it him self.

You may want to check for part numbers and fox head logos on each of them before investing time and money into repops.

Don't follow, sorry if I am missing something.

The wheels may be reproduction parts. Take them off and look on the back of rim to make sure they are real Fuchs before you a invest a lot of time and money. There should be a logo that looks like a fox's head and a part number.

[TeamAguilar]

Gotcha, I am pretty sure they are real because the first time I had them polished they asked and I wasn't sure. Once they got the wheels off they said they were original. I need to get the elbow grease going again or get them polished by someone. Not sure what I will do yet.

I love this 1984 Targa. Even in the winter!!


But I wish it were spring time so I could take this baby out for a drive

[shuzboomer]

Already posted this but my dad cleaned up the shadows and added a new background in photoshop.

Can you tell me what you tell me what you did with your front bumper? I got an 81 sc Targa that can use the same treatment!

Beautiful!

[Reifle]

Beautiful ! The bumper intrigues me - is the rear bumper similar - photos and some details pls!

[lindy 911]

That bumper is from TRE; I have the same one but it's not finished in this photo. Fits well and looks great, I think.

[Mikey83835]

I added mine to the thread a couple of years ago, but have added 7&8X16 Fuchs, and tidied it up some since then

[Ray-1]

That car is awesome. Tell me you didn't have that top off today. You're crazy with these temperatures. Your car looks really nice Mikey. Where's a good place to find larger wheels at a good price? Any suggestions?

Thanks, but the pic is from late last Summer,

The car came with 6&7X16's, and I got the 8's from a Pelican ad, and put the 7's on the front,
