Hello Canadian Pelicans! My name is Mike and I'm a "new" arrival to Canada and the GTA. I got myself an old Porsche to tinker with and hope to connect with fellow locals and share the passion for these cars. Early morning drives, rallies, autocross, workshops or just coffee and chit chat. Recommendations? Hopefully I can attend many of these and get to know the local crowd.
I will no doubt also have many questions for you locals. The first being whether you know of any "enthusiast garage" where one can rent space to store and work on the car? Or if anyone has or knows of garage space available, suitable for light tinkering? I'm in the Parkdale / Liberty Village area of Toronto but anywhere within 30 mins drive/bike/walk/TTC would work.
The car? A black on black -74 Targa bought from a friend in Guelph (Mike K). It has spent all its life in and around Toronto so perhaps you have seen it. It seems to be in decent nick. A 3.2 motor was put in by Mantis in 2010 and it was rebuilt in 2014 by Auto Evolution in Oakville. The 915 feels good. It had a (cheap) respray in 2010 and some decals were added lately.
That's the starting point. I don't have any lofty goals with the car but hopefully some small alterations will happen... Maybe euro H4s, chrome side mirrors and cookie cutters to start? Feel free to PM if you have something laying around!
