With the adhesive tacky, I put it on top of some masking paper sheets while I got it in position.

And installed the lower trim. This is a new (repro?) Porsche piece, but took some tweaking around the curve to get it to lie flat.

Test fit of the original targa pad. Its in pretty good shape, except for a couple of small cracks and a slight bulge in the middle. Have to see if I can improve this.

looking soooo good!! fun to watch others do this, i took almost same approach for the sail panel installation with the reference marks for alignment , i have done mine several time and it took the 3rd to do it right and look great. it’s almost a 2 person job to get that long top targa bar piece in place, did you have help? love the attention to detail, and that black/yellow combo is awesome! did you rebuild the fresh air defrost fan housing? 914rubber now has all the parts to do it.

Thanks, doc. I was alone, but got the position right with the inter-leaved paper sheets (and some good luck). The color combo is what I dreamed about, and happy to see it real--and I still like it. I cleaned, rebuilt, and tested my fresh air fan and housing, with the 914Rubber kit. That should be going in soon. |

I installed the steering shaft, after I realized this should have gone in before the dash. It was a bit fiddly, but I got it. I was waiting until I got the carpet installed, but that will be a while since I have not made up my mind about color.
