    Hi guys,

    I just went through the pics of this nice SWT and realized that it has the same two solide metal pieces above the windshield frame as my relatively early SWT #500 163. I have always thought that a quite talented mechanic had made them at one point in the car's history because they look a bit homemade. Pretty well done but not as "mass-production" looking like the later stainless-steel stampings. Does anybody know when the change to the new pieces that we all know occured?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks Jim, I try to pin down (roughly) when the change occured and this certainly helps

    Can you post a photo of the windshield header detail which you are referencing?

    Sorry for the delay, here are the pics.tangerine.jpgswt1.jpg Do more of you have early Targas with such pieces? Would be interesting to be able to tell around which date/VIN the change to the newer pieces occured and to add it to our date bases here in the registry.
