OK guys, I read between the lines and hear, yes she‘s a beauty. But you might ask for driving dynamics, prefer a coupe with high HP numbers.
We had that in our previous cars (see longhood Friday threat) and I wasn‘t a Targa fan at all... before we did this project.
But we learnt from our previous 964s also that weight/suspension with optimized setup / better breaks and the black gold (tires) is even more important than pure HP,
and make you real fast even in a Targa.
Yes we have the Autobahn in Germany without speed limit (theoretically) but canyon carving through the Black Forest or the Alps is much much better.
Driving with open roof with this setup in a 964 is magic (to me).... and sorry that you can‘t hear the growling

I completely agree.
While my upgrades are not nearly as well thought out as yours I applied some tried and true upgrades to my Targa and the result is a very capable and incredibly fun car to drive that provides many of the additional sensory you get with a convertible but without the added weight.
I miss my Targa.
Summer evenings, winter days, light rain.
There's nothing like running a country road or mountain pass with the roof out.
Hearing the tires on the pavement, the engine noise, and to me the smells and constantly changing air temp...
A good way to find out you suffer from hay fever though too.
Coupe for me now.

Thank you. I forgot how awesome your interior was too!

Thanks guys, very kind... and not that you think we only worked on the outer appearance, with a full restoration you don't just take care of skin and muscles but also the bones ....before and after applying wax
should be well prepared for the next 30 years, her birthday is July 1st 1990
Had the brakes and clutch flushed today. I honestly think most shops and dealers overlook the clutch but it is a good idea and the clutch actuation is definitely smoother.
Very true about the wheels, and there are very few cars that can accept such a huge variety of wheel looks and pull it off. It’s the customizers dream car IMHO.
