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...

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.

I like it...and I am a coupe man. Shawn.

edit: now go get some rocker trim or an early style =PORSCHE= decal. He he.

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
