The 69 Targa is getting very close to heading home. From the time I accepted the project, I've had to deal with a spinal tumor and it's effects on my daily life, 5.5 mm kidney stone, triple bypass open heart surgery, re-stint an artery, Covid 3 times, and a few other health issues. I guess, better late than never.
That's rear SWB S trim fitted to LWB bumpers to get rid of the red reflectors. It looks nice and clean. Also SWB side protectors for easy access to the torsion bars.
The 69 POLO coupe will be waaaay beyond this car when it's done. That's assuming I'll still be above ground when it's done.
The next car.
As the hood is a super thin gauge Aluminum, I decided to give it a lot of support. Gas shocks are out. One strut is also no go. I wanted support close to the middle of the hood on both sides when it's open. This should lessen twist on a windy day when filling the gas tank. On a really windy day, there will be a mini leather belt or Velcro to rap the middle of the hood strut bar support. This bar just snaps in and out on the hood and on the strut bar. There will be some other additions.
There is a lot more on the other thread about this car.
If anyone wants a Polo powered early Porsche and wants to save a couple of years and a bunch of dollars, then have a look here:Quote:

I couldn't reproduce that in a car this clean for 250. Super clean 912, 70 to 90ish. 2.4 POLO carbed 75ish. POLO w/EFI 100ish. Then etc., etc., etc., for all the regeared trans, suspension, brake, and whatever other upgrades. Plus labor at ? an hour. This is a steel and you get it 12 to 36 months earlier. Immediately is the right time for baby boomers who are living in their last 1/4.
It’s time to service the car and get it ready for the Next driving season.
Love that rear bumper trim
Thanks Rick. It took many hours to make it fit. Then all the trim was sent out to be done in one batch.
LOVE the color
Golden Green. The gold center Fuchs make the green pop. We had black Fuchs on the car orginially and it didn’t have near the effect of the gold centers.
