The car is a 76 Targa imported from Hong Kong in 98, so its original right hand drive, then it lived its life in Kensington and Chelsea.Since then it moved to Oxfordshire where it had been worked on by Autofarm, had the engine tweaked, Injection replaced with Weber 48 IDA,s, you can see its had a toned down bodykit put on, the rear decklid rises at a touch of a switch. Its had new running gear put on and is runninig on the wheels you see and Continental conti sport tyres.The leather interior is from a late 80.s Carrera, withe dials and gauges from same, it,s also a competition rev counter in it that revs to 11k, I know they dont rev that high but it looks good...I,ve done nothing to it apart from replace the front blower and added a new trunk carpet. Being its spent most of its life in warmer climes theres no rust on it apart from two 10 pence size pieces around the headlights that are just appearing. i,ll get round to sorting them later this year.Gearbox is tight with hardly any play at all, and thers no oil leaks in the box or engine which is good,My brother in law has a 911sc same year and of course we,ve raced,his car couldn,t stay with mine at all, so whatever Autofarm did it,s worked... me very happy bunny with my first 911.
heres to a warm summer and open roads.cheers
Steve

Bit late but welcome from me too Steve, I've had no computer keyboard to access the forum . Here's a pic of what I've been up to with the car, now I'm back on line I hope to get 'Running Reports' working and try and make some progress with developing the 'Porsche Buddies' idea.

Thanks I've got a lot of catching up to do , have a look at my sig' gallery over the next few days I'll be adding new shots of the engine refurb and I hope to write about it a length in PP at some point, it has been incredibly time consuming but a great learning experience . Ithink the car will be running next week , fingers crossed.
