Modifications

Exterior

The pan was intact except where someone drove over something and damaged the rear driver side floor. Otherwise pretty tame rust issues. Stripped car of everything and went to bare metal August '13; repair rust, replaced front fender side supports, fixed rusted left windshield cowl and removed 70lbs of bondo from rear qtr due to a light hit with a bad repair. Damage was nominal, but required straightening. When completed, metal looked like it just came of the production line.
Targa top was rebuilt by Dan.
Has an original Porsche steel S bumper of the period.
Re-chromed door vent window frames, sills & Targa window base trim.
Targa bar stripped from raddle-can black to original SS.
All aluminum was stripped, polished and re-anodized.
