Beauty! I love the wheels on it

You need the horn contact plate part from Porsche if you didn't know... I also put a Prototipo on and didn't realize I needed the part until after install

I just googled.. no affil. I got it from the local porsche dealer myself

thanks! I figured it was plug and play so I bought the hub and wheel, I’ve read through the tutorials but still a bit confused, if I buy the contact piece and reinstall should just work?

I searched for a targa for a little while then gave up, seems they are not easy to find at all, found couple of ragged ones but nothing clean. Congrats on your car

I was going to say the same thing! My dog looks very similar except fawn in colour! The best dogs.
Car looks great also, the targas are really growing on me.

Thankfully we got this one a long time ago at a good price that was in great condition and after recent engine work feels amazing

Thanks!
Def have some cosmetic work to do, going to do a paint correction after fall... Definitely enjoy driving this car and don't see it being a garage queen, going to try and use it as much as the northeast will allow me to

The air cooled event on Long Island yesterday was amazing some really wonderful cars... got a little shoutout from magnus walker on instagram which was kind of cool. My wife is falling more and more in love with classic porsche's and my plan on convincing her to purchase another one seems to be working =)

Hate to even post this but may need to sell the targa due to a job change and expecting our first child!

Looks great.
Hmm, I would look into springs to level it the front a little though. Very cool Targa!
