Save the targas
Spent the day working a targa bar back to the way is should be.
Thought I would share the before and after to inspire others to rescue their early targa bars. Tom. ![]() ![]() |

Did you sand it down or did you use some form of paint remover to bring it back?

I used a can of the spray on paint remover "aircraft paint remover" brand.
2 coats and it wiped of the paint. Then I used some crome pollish to get any scratches out. Tom. |

Tom...
You rock. Nice job. These early cars suffered so many sins from the previous owners misguided attempts to "update" thier cars look. You have now performed a Porsche Community Service Announcement. You may now go out and bust a law or two.

Looks MUCH better! Do you have any more shots of your wheels? Are they black centers? Looks like you are running 16's (x6 and x7?). I have the same car and am looking at going to 16 x6 and x7.
Thanks, Dan |
