    Restoring a light Ivory 67S Targa

    Hasn't been much interest in my prior threads so I thought I'd re-title with this update. Here are my prior accumulated threads.

    http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...ight=aftermath

    Just got my instruments back from North Hollywood. Oil temp needed to be updated but surprisingly the guts were all working on everything. NH did there usual brilliant work.

    Just about to start full body pan mating to body.

    For you targa enthusiasts, here are pictures of an interior gusset. Sent them off to Restoration Design to have them 3D scanned for their library. With various modifications to update, the major portion has been unchanged up through I believe '69. Used in both Cabriolet and targa if my research is correct. Added strictly to decease body flex.

    Waiting for my carbs before the engine work starts.

    Probably still won't be much interest but this also help me continue my enthusiasm for this project.

    I am interested. One of the highlights of my LT Ivory 67S restoration has been Paul's carburetor work. The most beautiful looking Webers I have ever seen.

    Lat two weeks were great. Eric finally produced plug wrench and I picked up an original Targa Supplement from California. Sometimes the little pieces are the toughest.
