That is it about the Targa. I still need to build an engine for it, since the engine currently installed will go back to the 71.

Quite the journey, Nicely done, for sure! I'm assuming that you're keeping it. How long did it take and are you ready to do another? :)

It took about 2 years for the Targa. My current project is the 1971, my ex AX racer. https://carpokes.com/viewtopic.php?t=1392

The cardboard was only the mock up. I used 5mm plywood for the panels. You can see it in the middle pictures, I painted it black on the back side.

Now I have also a video of the engine I built last year for the 84 Targa, since I needed the 3.6 back for the 71 911.

Here is it in 3 minutes.
