Nearly Finished

SteveJC · Feb 20, 2011

Since purchasing my 1990 964 C2 Targa in December I have had a few jobs carried out to bring it to the standard I wanted it, not that it was that bad at all and it has a good history only having 2 previous owners both registered less than 5 miles from me and the original supplying dealer only 2 miles away ( rather was shut down in the early 90's ).

Jobs ( Some of them minor just because I wanted them )
Full service
New steering rack ( I knew this needed doing as the seller pointed it out and although he would have done it I used it has part of negotiations ).
2 new key heads.
Cup mirrors.
Original 17 in Cup 1 wheels.
Front seats and door cards re trimmed.
New alarm
RS steering wheel
Decat pipe it already had a Gpipe ( So together sounds great ).
A little bit of paint work due to a little blister by the rear window rubber, which looked as though it could be a lot worse, under the rubber seal but when stripped back was very solid and a small chip on the rear bumper.
A new water bottle cap.
A couple of hoses.
New front bonnet struts.
Oil regulator cotton reel.
Side skirt clips.
rear wiper blade.

Next jobs,
Fit the new stereo once sorted the wiring.
Good clean on the inside.

I'm waiting now for the weather to improve to get out and enjoy it more.

Sounds like you've tackled a lot of jobs that I did when I first got mine - I used to keep a piece of wood in the front boot to hold the bonnet up until I got round to replacing the shocks [

Looks very nice....in fact very similar to mine!

Have you thought about lowering the car? I did mine and it looks and drives so much better. I went with the h&r greens with bilstein hd shocks. Really sorts out the front as I think it sits to high as standard especially on the front. I will post up a few pics of mine.

It's a slippery slope!! Once you start spending it's hard to stop! I did the big red brake upgrade as well (mainly cause they look nice if I am honest!).

Enjoy it....

Good stuff. Have you checked out the carbrella ? Essential item now for fine weather days out since i tried one.

Stereo :I was surprised how good the acoustics are top down ; must be the rear glass that keeps the sound in , even
over the ton !
