Re: Another Targa sarga
Martin, did you buy this car because it would be rusty everywhere?
Never seen so much deep damage to every panel, but a great job fixing it all!

There are few places that the tinworm didn't get a foothold on, surprisingly all sill areas are good, as are the torque tubes, but yeah, it was scary project, I'm hoping to get into primer for christmas

Re: Another Targa sarga
Well christmas seems a long time a go now, haven't quite got where I wanted to be, got a bit distracted with a Jag MK2 project, but now focusing on the Targa again..
