The angle and offset is perfect! I made the nut up tight in 30 sec.

Next, another problem with something loose, in this case the heat duct control lever. If I place it half-way, it falls down to closed. Even all the way up (open), it drops down when driving.

Time for another special tool, this one from the back of the tool chest: a vintage Hazet wrench from an old 914 tool kit. The head on the 13 mm end is thinner than any other wrench I own.

That was just thin enough to hold the nut on the outside of the pivot bolt, with a socket on the bolt head. It took a couple of attempts to get the tightness just right.

Success--maybe. The pivot bolt is tight enough to hold the lever in the middle, against the tension of the heat duct valve cables.

Here's my collection of plugs. The ones in the top center are the few I rescued from the car, and feel like hard plastic. Replacements are on the left, lower center, and right.

The first replacements I tried a few months ago feel like soft rubber, and I did not have much luck getting them in the trim holes without mangling them. I then ordered what are supposed to be factory plugs. They also feel like rubber, but much stiffer.

Pretty easy to plug all the holes, inside the targa hoop and along the A-pillars.

Working with the the targa trim pad reminded me that I really want a new one. The center has a couple of cracks.

I agree 100% with @bkrantz . Having a comprehensive plan before you begin is very helpful. There always tends to be issues that pop-up along the way. The single biggest thing I would add is if you farm work out, make sure the shop is within visiting range so you can keep tight reins on the project and see the actual work they are doing. Photos do not really cut it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)



I was going to get it running and legal then start to tear it apart. Next thing you know it's sideways on a rotisserie.

How long was your lead to the starter?

Thanks Bob!!!!!

I can't imagine why Porsche felt they needed, what, 14 screws to hold the Targa pad in place? I think it was 7 on top and 7 underneath.... overkill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

WOW. Been reading this thread for weeks. Cant believe the volume of help this has provided to so many. Clear pics and process minutia that most of us would (shouldn't have) glossed over. Beautiful car!

I cant even being to say how helpful this has been for me in my restomod process.

Thank you!

Absolutely nominate this thread for all time step by step resto guide.

Thanks, Jeff. Glad to be of help. And like I said before, documenting and sharing has been therapeutic.
