Newbie intro thread
 

hey gang. i'm a newbie here and i thought i'd introduce myself and my car SmileWavy

THE CAR-
a 1970 911T targa. some crazy person put a fibreglass turbo body kit (not very well may i add) and painted it metallic booger green. its a wee bit rusty but everything can be fixed. currently a 2.4L with a 915 but my dad is keeping those so today i bought a 914-6 2.0L and a 901 trans. the ultimate plan is to return it to stock body and original Signal Orange. luckily i know a half decent bodyman :rolleyes:
it came with BBS wheels in silver but looks better with fake fuchs.

ME -
i'm the 16 year-old daughter of my dad named Don, known here as Haycait911. this is my first car.

here's the work in progress thread

Welcome to the dark side.
Love the color and really dig the seats (NOT).
Should be a fun project.
You are one lucky 16 year old.
I had a bike (pedal) :)

oh yes................you need help, but luckily, it's close by.

regards,

don.........help her, please help her!

That's the new Ogopogo Reconnaissance Vehicle.

Congrats and good luck. It will be fun!

Welcome aboard. You really know a project when you see one. My friend Al is good with a (body) hammer, just ask his thumb. Keep us posted. Always great to see women taking up the passion.

Awesome, welcome!

The "metallic booger green" looks like an actual Porsche color, and it's a nice one. That said, period correct is always better, and the signal colors are gorgeous. Good luck with the project!

Congratulations and welcome.
My 74 is signal orange but I like the color of your car.
Best of luck.

Matt

Good luck and welcome, but I can't say I am a fan of the fully blacked out fake Fuchs in the last photo. I prefer the first set of wheels you show. But its your car, have fun and post lots of pix to this thread!!

thanks for all the great welcomes.

i'll get some more pictures today. the color is okay but original is always better and signal orange is a sick color.

looks like my dad sold the fuchs so the BBS are back until the flares are gone.

i took a few more pics today.


the 2.4 my dad is keeping :confused:

That's cool - welcome and have fun. Good for you buying the engine, and good luck with the project.

I see a change already.
New shifter knob?

Matt

wow :eek: good catch.

yup. my dad 'loaned' me a proper shift knob.

Nice one kid-of-haycait911! That's going to be a cool ride when it's done...not that sea-foam green isn't cool already:p

Welcome to the forum.

Seeing some of the cars that have rolled out of your dad's shop, I bet this Targa will be looking fine in no time...

Ask your dad if you can keep the engine and the sports seats that came in the 912! ;)

We're glad you are here. . .

You will receive many opinions on everything, a lot of them very subjective, so I might as well add mine. If your dad has "kept" (stolen) the original engine and transmission, then you have some considerable mechanical work to do. I'd start with that and worry about the body modifications much later. A running car would be first on my list, before getting the color right.

Best of luck.

I think I've just been insulted, on more than one level.

Yeah it looks like ice green metallic which is the original color of my car. It's a very nice color but I would agree that it should be original.

Welcome and have fun with your new ride.
