Thanks for your interest! I just sent you an email. I actually dropped it off at my air cooled mechanic's shop this weekend to have the valves adjusted and to install new valve cover seals and to replace a few of the other weeping seals. We will be checking for any broken head bolts at this time and once its all buttoned back up we can definitely complete a leakdown test. I'm planning on getting a few pictures of the internals for buyers peace of mind. I am also having the transmission fluid changed and adjusting the shifter cable. If any of those parts are beyond their service life I will be replacing them as necessary. New spark plugs, air filter, and starter solenoid will also be installed before it returns home. We will be looking for the break in the tach signal as well. I have a buyer in Canada and one in SC that have asked me to coordinate a PPI for them so I'm trying to button up all these final improvements before sending it over. I also have it scheduled to go to Brighton Auto Detailing to be properly polished and waxed before the sale...

No but I can create one in the next week or two once it comes home.

So no broken head studs and a previous owner fitted OEM Turbo valve covers. Fun surprises are always welcome. The engine is super clean. I'll post some pictures for those that are interested once I get them...

Just installed a new Valeo OEM Porsche voltage regulator and got the tach working as well. Had it professionally wet sanded to 5,000 grit, buffed, and polished. I'll have to post some new pictures... New inner and outer turbo tie rod ends were also installed and it was aligned.

I’ve been watching your listing for awhile now. Is the car still for sale?

It is. But I'm having a hard time letting it go. Lots of offers but none that make it worthwhile to sell it...

What do you have the car priced at now? I have been looking for a targa for awhile now. This will be my first Porsche and I love the look of the Targas. I just stumbled across your post today.

Regards,

RJ
