I've got the wheels on the car running 205s all corners and the spare running 195.

Could be a great big ponzi scheme but I'm running with it for the time being.

True to my wheel whore self, the first thing I'll do is grab a set of wheels for it as a set have popped up from a purveyor of quality Porsche merchandise well known around these parts.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

As Tom has pointed out I have a penchant for fixer-uppers. So with this in mind may I introduce to you the latest project. Many of you will have seen this on carsales and I think it's a nice buy as it's got most of the parts needed to finish it, unlike my hotrod which is proving to be quite the money pit.
I won't get it until early Oct and it won't start until a month or so after that, so it's be a slow burn.

It's a factory LHD car and is still that way and will remain so. German delivered and then went to Japan and then to Aust in 2004. For a long time it sat in a workshop until the last owner picked it up but his circumstances changed and so it looks, have mine! Engine is 2.4 MFI (non matching but within 100 numbers), gearbox is a very early 915, interior is mostly there via Lakewell, all hanging panels are original and it has all the hard to find bits with it. Originally Light Yellow the car will be taken back to good original health and once complete I may flip or keep depending on how my heart and wallet are feeling.
Let's work backwards. Here is the final product (though I think this is a '73)
As it was from Japan
As it is now
The bad news is I was settling on this colour for the hotrod so that's now undecided yet again...
I've seen this before on here and for some reason I think it might be Doug's? But yeah, that's kind of it! Is it still around?
Wow an exclusive club! I'm all over that like a rash. Yeah RHD is so passe
To be fair to me, they are her cars...
Yes this one will be original but I'm thinking it has to be a little lowered. But that's it for this one! 2 builds as the SC engine is mostly concluded. I missed that cheap black 993 by about 20 minutes on Thursday so I'm lucky I don't have another!
The Kid says
Apparently its all to do with the pie!
Rather than cut it up in ever smaller portions you just make it BIGGER!!!!
That's Pork Chops secret.
I tried this approach on my wife and she just looked at me as if I was talking gibberish.
Several days late after insisting I sell one of my three toys before I buy another she turned around out of the blue and said well it depend on what it is.
Clearly I am not as adept as Pork Chops in the execution of this strategy but it appears to have merit and Chopster's track record is laudable!
Yes grow the pie, and everyone's slice gets bigger. Could be a great big ponzi scheme but I'm running with it for the time being.
Thanks Doug. Yes looking forward to my first MFI experience. Interesting that car appears to be RHD so if not Aus delivered is it UK? Other than that it's pretty much the same car. Once mine's done it'd be great to get them next to each other to see how they differ. With left and right hand drive they'll make a nice mirror image of each other.
Not paid for yet but hopefully mine in the next couple of weeks!
It's a long race but particularly when you're doing it yourself! Skunkwerks are the body shop. Same folks that did my SC rescue and are currently doing my hotrod.
Thanks to my main man
@GUT
these bad boys are now home. Usually a single wheel fits in one of the larger boxes in my life but these are dainty little things of beauty. I'll get Skiddy's elcheapo tyres fitted to them next week and I've got the foundation of the car sorted! A fuel tank has been sourced (one of the few parts not supplied) and I believe the engine is off to be machined and assembled fairly shortly. Hope to see the old Targa some day soon as to date I've not clapped eyes on it.
First photo you can see the difference in fitment between 205/60 and 195/60. I've got the wheels on the car running 205s all corners and the spare running 195. I've also got a spare 195 (not on a rim) so if it turns out the slightly daintier 195 look is better on the front and has nicer steering feel then that can be done. They look a treat! Thanks to Skiddy for the free tyres and to GUT for the quite-a-lot-more-than-free-but-lovely wheels.
