Show your ride...

Thanks for the kind words! The "headlights" are plexiglass from GT Racing painted blue on the inside....an inexpensive and lighter alternative to H4's. No splitter, although they are available.

Oh, yes :o, I figured the headlights were block-offs, but I meant that the blue Carrera stripes, Fuchs, and the headlights all really "pop" off the white. I am thinking of adding some small blue bits to my car. Maybe a little "RS" decal or "911S" decal, since it is an S, not an RS.

What kind of rear anti-sway bar is that? It looks RSR style.

Gentlemen -

Thanks for all of comments. From my readings in this forum, it seemed like many sepia cars when restored were color changed. The tired sepia paint was uninspiring and left me wondering. Fresh sepia paint looks fantastic.....if your so inclined.

As someone pointed out I type the serial number incorrectly - it is #9110300744

Your car has the factory "body in white" look....maybe simply adding a blue windshield header would be a nice touch...ala the way the factory identifies new 911's when doing early season testing. I will have a look back at my records on the sway bar, I know they are a TRG custom piece....

That is a good idea. I will see if I can find the PORSCHE letters in blue to replace the black ones I have now. Or maybe white letters on blue background?

At last I feel like my project car has reached the 'ride' stage. It started as an ugly roller, was transformed into an attractive roller, and finally last month was reacquainted with its 'original' engine and transmission (both completely rebuilt, somewhat above their original specs). The whole story can be read in my restoration blog, link below.

So here is my completely restored, numbers-matching, 1970 T targa, back in its original tangerine. I took it out to its first event this morning, the Santa Barbara region PCA breakfast at Stearn's Wharf, where it sat proudly back among its peers.

Many of you have helped with parts and advice along the way, not to mention inspiration. Thanks to all, this car lives again.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't wish to bore you all with MORE pictures of my nearly completed car ;), but I thought it was worth posting a few new shots, with the wheels refinished and some appropriate tires installed (Goodrich G-Force Sport 205/60-15). Now I can show it from the side!

Mike, what a wonderful blog of your restoration adventure. You hard work and diligence really paid off. Congratulations on a gorgeous ride.
