Thanks Guys... Finished up the brakes today, new everything flushed all the brake fluid and went for a ride... I had perma-grin leaving the shop today as the 2.7 Air cooled purred like a kitten in the rear... This old Targa runs beautiful! Had one minor problem the tach wasn't working... forgot to plug a cable in Took the Targa top out and went for a second ride then got home parked it! Now for the inside cleanup and then we'll be done

and a couple more for those that are interested...

Changed the old plastic fuel return splitter to a brass one (this one wont break)


Got the exhaust headers with the heat exchangers blasted and covered with a coat of zinc paint; (you can take a torch and heat it up and it wont change color)


And a couple of the new coated rotors and the calipers...

What year you looking at? A Turbo, S or S2... they're nice riding cars and handle well... everyone that I've talked to that owns one, loves them (until things begin to break)....
Come down anytime Jay... just shoot me a txt or call me to make sure I'm home :-) We might be looking at another 911 for next Winter... LOL its an addiction.
And thanks again for the positive comments...
