I have a used targa top seal that's in very good condition. No splitting, no cracking. No 'patches' with black RTV. There's still some powder on the sides where it was installed.

I'm going to give it away for a member to use on their car. Free. I'll even pay shipping.

So, what's the catch? There's been a couple of threads recently about do-it-yourself tech articles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The first person to submit three original tech articles gets the seal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

You can use stuff on this site (or others) if you credit the original poster in your research. You may not simply copy or "slightly rephrase" other posted articles. You don't need to know HTML. You can submit as a word or text document with pictures.

I just have one and its the BOMB!:


I'd like the seal because I can make more for other 914 club members at a HUGE DISCOUNT if it is in good shape. I will also have metal in it to make it work just like the original. Mine is in poor shape and would add alot of extra time for me to make a good first batch. I do have a friend that has a good one but I don't want to damage his in the process since there will be a need for me to use it extensively for the tooling process and I will probably need to keep it for as long as I'm making them.

I'm guessing we're talking about detailed step by step, with pictures, type stuff. But it's Rusty's contest. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

McMark is right. Step-by-step with pictures.

Mark B... if you write it up as a how-to article, then it counts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I know Lawrence said that you didn't have to know html, but for those of you that can follow this simple template it would be greatly appreciated. No pressure though, whatever you can do is fantastic.

Simple text in this layout would be AWESOME!


QUOTE(McMark @ Apr 3 2007, 11:34 AM) *

Here's a quick template for formatting the pages:

CODE
<h2>This is the title of the article</h2>
<br>
This is the introduction to the article describing what we will cover here, how long it should take, how hard it is, etc.<br>
<br>
<b>Step 1: name of step</b><br>
<br>
This is the first step/section.<br>
<img src="THIS IS THE URL FOR AN IMAGE"><br>
<br>

<b>Step 2: name of step</b><br>
<br>
This is the second step/section. Copy and paste for each step.  Feel free to delete the <IMG> line if there is no image, or to add multiple <IMG> lines if you want.<br>
<img src="THIS IS THE URL FOR AN IMAGE"><br>
<img src="THIS IS THE URL FOR AN IMAGE"><br>
<img src="THIS IS THE URL FOR AN IMAGE"><br>

In the next week or so, here is what I am planning to do.
If this fits, I will document it.

Remove and replace front end.

So,
Bearings R/R adjust
Ball joints R/R
Tie Rods---> turbo tie rods
Steering Rack bump steering kit
Front A-arm plastic bushings--->bearings

I will document this last one, just for a few of us who have been trying
Adding a pillow block and bearing setup to stop the anti-sway bar from hitting the gas tank.

And on Rockets car...Closed door paint job. Cheap and fast. 2 days.

I could write a pretty good one on the disassembly of a car in good shape.

That's about it though...

OK, no offence to anyone involved but I thought this should be told for future porsche people to understand what "can happen" if you don't have the best tools for the job.

Tech Article #1

READ THIS BEFORE WORKING ON YOUR PORSCHE

Using a jack stand that is not the safest jack stand made can kill you! Please purchase only the best, proven jack stands..........period!

For more details read this: Killer Jack Stands - Yes they can kill you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/help.gif)

Sorry Gint but I think the story needs to be told over and over again!
