For give me guys, for I have sinned - its been ages since my last report - I've been too busy working and occasionally working on the car....
I finished the heel panels way back in early December, and painted them with my preferred beige Hammerite, just continuing with what was available when I started 20 years ago

That concludes all of the interior metalwork. I will probably rub down the beige and go over it with an epoxy paint before the interior goes back in....
The front, and doors were fettled into a good position by Barry as per an earlier report.
Since then, I made a start on replacing the sills and kidneys, and rear quarter and B-post repairs on both sides. Actually, both sills were new, and the left B-post was new, from the previous owner. Anyway, we could see that the left side A-post base had rust holes, and the sill was not in the perfect place, and the Targa hoop reinforcement and kidney panel on the same side needed work. There were a few holes under the Targa glass too and a few old patches and bruises, so decided to plump for a whole new rear quarter with included B-post.
So then.... front half of left rear quarter and whole B-post except the latch section cut off....left sill cut off... left kidney off.... left jack reinforcement off... jack tube off .... 90% of the inner/centre sill off (just the 10% behind the jack reinforcement/inner wing section to remove - how?!).
All these parts now on order from Porsche, except the correct inner sill which is NLA but apparently will be available soon... so plumped for a Dansk 1.5mm thick inner sill (heavy bugger!) which is absolutely identical to the original ones except that the jack tube hole is slightly wider (presumably made that way to allow the jack tube to be fitted 'after' the inner sill goes on, rather than before).
Over the cold winter months, I also managed to test fit/check, and restore where needed, lights, all of my interior parts.. carpets, rear seats, seat belts, parcel shelf, rear panels/caps, door caps, door bins (all re-covered with correct early or 72/73 vinyl from GarryFX) and test fit half of the new OEM Targa rear glass seal (gave up after a few days...).
That just about brings me up to date... now for the visuals...
