DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I'm Jan, aka GhostRider, and I registered quite a time ago, visiting this forum, as a sort of read only member. I think it isn't decent visiting this forum so often, without introducing, so...
I'm from the Netherlands, and I own a '77er 911S US targa (2.7l) which I restored a bit. It's oak green, with chrome trim, stainless hoop, and with original red tartan interior.
A few pics ad random, because I still don't have a complete session of the P in its condition at this moment.



I also own a '69er MG Midget and as a daily drive I use my Alfa Romeo Brera 3.2 Q4, which soon will be replaced by a proper familycar I'm afraid because of my first son (14 months now).


As still doing restorations on de Porsche (small detail things), I hope reading here a lot, finding info, and perhaps I can provide some useful info here as well.

Great Targa Jan, love that tartan interior.

Hey Jan,

Welkom op DDK!

Jan has an awesome thread on the dutch porsche forum regarding his targa.

Take care,


Bert

Welcome Jan,
Friend of mine is currently restoring a 75 2.7 RHD Targa, I will point him to your photos for inspiration. Ditto love tartan interior.

Thanks for your welcome posts!
Indeed, I have a thread on www.porscheforum.nl about restoring the targa, called Sally.
She´s resprayed, partly retrimmed, the fuchs rims got a special treatment in Leverkusen, Germany, all seals are replaced, the USA lighting is replaced, last owner did a rebuild on the engine, SSI heat exchangers are placed, and of course all the jobs to maintain it's condition. The tartan trim was a complete project on its own. I wanted only to use original Porsche tartan, but the red one was quite difficult to find. So I had contact with several tartan shops in Scotland, because the McLachlan Clan uses tartan, which looks like the Prsche tartan, except for one minor stripe. Finally I found a few (actually too expensive) meters of cloth in Germany, and I just bought the whole pice. I'm still glad I made that choise! I like the interior a lot as well...
