Official newbie
Hi. Been reading BBS for about a month and have made a few minor contributions. Now that I have some pictures (taken today) I'd like to formally introduce myself. These are pics of my project car, 1983 911 targa. 140K, originally very tired black on black. Runs strong. Bear metal repaint, new interior, and done in a backdated '78 style with chrome handles, window trim, headlight rings and stainless steel roll bar cover. Plan to enjoy till winter, then redo brakes and suspension. I've learned a whole lot from the BBS in the last month. Thanks to all.

Thanks for all the kind remarks on my car. I will try to post some more pictures this weekend, if I can get to it. Taking my son to the Broncos game Sunday and that will use the whole day. Tough work, but someone has to do it.
