Yes Bert its been running well for quite a while now with the four speed box, it has really transformed the car, a lot more fun now, I wish I had six gears! A little more horepower would be fun but I'm not sure the torque converter could handle it even if I had the time to get round to doing it, I'll just have to lose some more weight (from the car [
])

Wouldn't the 83 reg have the single A at the front?

Sorry to disagree guys - but I reckon there's hope in there.
Yes, lots of wrong bits - but it's a RHD targa and as long as it's not a rot box - at £5k it's going to be a lot of fun for someone - and an easy way into Classic Porsche ownership.
Sure it'll only win a concours with £50k spent on it - but if it's solid (and the paint implies it's been done reasonably well??) then it's more car per £ than anything else you could buy for £5k.
Just my happeneth.

Not read all the posts but for £5k it's a bag of car but what it is , is what you make from it.
Later rear end and wheels older front ..
Well the colour IMHO is pants and I never liked it when they did paint them this colour when they were new.
So if the car wsa solid enough to work on then £2000 paint and a replacement rear bumper and lid would start to make the car into something worth playing with.. Sell the whale tail to some boy racer and your getting some money back
I can say for the cheaper 911's that i have seen in my local area. £5k is gamble money. 90% of the cars are not worth the money due to the long list of fix me's and the 10% remaining are well.... not much better ..
I would say worth a trip out to take a look and see what you have... I think I have a rear lens for a start in the shed with a black edge.. as I see its broken and the PCGB sticker in the window....[&:]

This car was on Ebay a while ago and indeed was discussed on the impact bumper forum..http://www.impactbumpers.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1054&hl=forwarddate
Obviously not many positive comments but that shouldnt prevail you having quite a bit of fun for your bucks.
But the fun starts when you want to sort out the issues. At that point we are probably talking either remortgaging your house, or depending on the size of your house, remortgaging the outbuildings.
There is no such thing as a cheap 911, I'm afraid.....
Good luck,
Bert

Yes it does - you'll find you're having fun again [
