Picked Up an 88 Cab
A whole weekend of driving resulted in finding a sweet deal on an 88 Cab. Just needs some work to make her great. The main thing is that the body is straight, rest I can fix.

The right color...nice!
Be sure to do the following: 1) new bilstein shocks 2) new tires 3) 4 wheel alignment and check front wheel bearings 4) shine those Fuch wheels |

Welcome to the granfaloon. Red is always good.
Rule #1: Drive with the top down whenever possible.

Thanks for the comments.
The car needs a bunch of TLC. But for me, as long as the body is straight, the rest can be sorted out. It does have some oil leaks, and needs a tune up, etc. Kind of at a loss what to do with it. Sue (wife) & I like to go to DE's. The 914-6 3.2 is fun, but it is tricky for her to shift. She likes the cab, and cage can be installed. Untimately, I would like an F class G50 coupe, but the cab could work if it had a top (I think the rules allow it) Anyway, more pictures later.

While a targa is far from stiff (my Brey-Krausse harness bar has done wonders though) I would think a cab would be much more flexible. What do you think?

Yes, it stiffens the car up nicely - and bolts out quickly...

Cool, thanks. Who makes it? Where would I get one?
My big question is, can you "feel it"? I love the Targa, but you can always tell that it's behind even though you can't see it. A cab I've driven (no bar) feels much freer.
