Targa RSR project :)

Hellraiser, I did that same treatment for our '86. I LOVE the way it looks!! Yours looks awesome.

Thanks

I'm in doubt,
What colour should I use for the targa bar logos?

1973 original was gold?

But I think black will go better with the RSR-look?

Hi, nice project you have going. When I purchased my Targa the bar was polished but i really like the brushed look that you have. Could you please describe how you got that beautiful even finish?

Thanks

Hello Wade,

I took it to my local metal working company, they polished it on a big wire wheel.



I polished the targa bar logo's and painted them in Rust-oleum hard hat flat black

[Hellraiser]

So...

The body shop got their fire damage repaired and they are working on the car again

[Hellraiser]

Paint!

Can anyone provide me with the correct height for the long hood
hood emblem?

[Uwon]

Exactly 6 5/8” from hood lip to tip of emblem (ex rubber gasket) with tape laid completely flat. Pic for demonstration only as I only have two hands. Factory longhood.



Cheers,
Johan

Thanks Johan!

First parts on the car





(Front bumper is not secured yet, still have to mount the oil cooler)

[Hellraiser]

Finally got the time to mount the oil cooler



Now I need to find the time to attach the grille into the bumper
and maybe the thing will be on in 2-3 weeks

[Hellraiser]

[Hellraiser]

Front bumper finished




now I need to drill some holes in the latch panel and inner fender
to guide the oil lines.
with the G-style front bumper there was enough room to accomodate the oil lines.
this room is gone now due to the backdate and long hood.

[Hellraiser]

Eventually we're getting there..



to do:

front bumper rubber
turn signal units
repair headlight wiring
headlights

Then we move on towards the rear

That yellow looks nice and fresh. Good skills and nice choice in color.

Cut the polyester dashboard to fit around the front window vents.

Hope to get the windshield mounted by next week
