Made some progress on the Targa:

Started to clean, blast and powder coat some suspension parts and pieces.





Some pieces I zinc plated.



The Bumpers came in, so I started to fit those. The front bumpe was not bad at all, needed some minor corrections.



The rear bumper was very bad. I had to cut it in 3 pieces to make it work.



It was so bad, I had to cut additional slots to line it up. It looked like it was twisted.



After fiberglassing it back together, it finally looked as it should.





I test fitted the mirrors which will be used.



After all this fiber glass and sanding, I needed a break and went to assemble the suspension components.







New Turbo tie rods for the steering rack.



Next, I started with the Brake calipers.

Cleaned, Blasted. Here the rear before and after cleaning and blasting.



All ready for coating.



Here all Coated, and ready for assembly.





To be continued

Cheers
Engelbert
