My First Porsche - 86 Targa Project Thread

Hello all! Been wanting to do put together one of these project trackers for a while. To keep track of everything and also to help fellow 911 owners with some handy DIY work.

Last year (2024) I bought my first Porsche. It's a 1986 911 Targa, had it shipped up to MA from Florida. Previous owner put a ton of work into it as it seems to have been a bit of a neglected car like a lot of these cars ended up. He had the 915 rebuilt, new clutch and a whole host of other engine-out maintenance items.

I wish I had more history on the car, but the sun seems to have taken its toll on some of the interior parts. This car is a full leather package car so the dashboard has curled up pretty bad, but that's one of my next items on the list.

Anyways onto pics when I first got it!

First order of business was getting rid of these awful seats that were in it. I guess one of the previous owners was really tall and needed the extra space. Ended up finding a set of driver power seats out of a 944 in PA and had a friend who lives down there just so happen to be visiting right before the car was delivered to me. He brought them up, gave them a good clean and condition and they were ready to go.
