Onto the targa seal, good thing 914 rubber had a how to video on this. Had to trim a bit of the metal in order for the seal to fit.

Well getting the targa seal on wasn't that bad, the most difficult part was getting the sides in the metal rails to sit properly. That is what took the longest as I was being careful not to scratch the paint on them. I wanted to check the fitment with the window and at first this is how it was.

I started playing with it and my solution was to push the window up and then lean it backwards a little bit. This gave me a much better seal but I will play with it some more once I put the car back on the ground.

The rear seal is just in place to check the alignment of the window, I'll do a final fit and trim when I get my targa top on. One down, one to go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well I got quite a bit done this past week, first I finished the body work on the bumpers and side skirts and then I painted them. Forgot to take pics after I painted all the parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Mounted all the parts to make sure everything still lined up well.

All the painted parts back on. Didn't paint the rear balance because I still don't have the muffler I will be running and I will need to modify it for where the pipes will come out.

There's many pieces and trims going on with the engine lid, it actually took me all day to put it together.

Then it was time to add the rain tubes and while I was in there I installed the torsion rods for the trunk lid, not fun and very difficult to do without worrying about damaging something.

Now it was time to start working more on the interior. I was waiting until I had my windows in and the top installed just because everything gets very dusty here in the shop. Started with the sound deadener.

Don't know why I didn't take more pictures of the vinyl coverings, but this is the only one I found.
