Default Targa overhaul video on YouTube

I just posted this on the Pelican site- thought I'd share it here too.

Parts 1-5/5 of a 911 Targa being rebuilt and sold by a Brit car show...

I can't get the 1of5 video to work on my computer, I watched 2-5 of 5 and it was pretty sweet. Watching someone do all that so easily gives me confidence Well just a little. However, I would love to hear the gears crunching if they show it in 1of5, I want to see if it sounds anything like my car when it is super cold.

You live in California ... how cold can it get ?

But seriously when it is about 0-5C My first pull away getting into second can be a little touchy, some times it won't go in, and I have to let my car roll back to a stop in first. Fortunately I have to stop anyway as there is a stop sign about 100yards from my house, after that it is always silky smooth ... go figure..

It doesn't get that cold, but when I just fire the car up, its hard to get it in first and reverse. Throwing it in third before you throw it into first helps. Also before the car is warm, going from first to second is touchy, it'll grab the gear-shifter right out of your hands sometimes. Third makes a slightly crunchy noise all the time too. I hope its just the typical things for a G-50 shifter but seeing them pay 3000-4000 USD for a new gearbox really made me think

I'm surprised he completed as much as he did with a Haynes manual

Good clips !
