(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Hey everyone, I have been lurking around on this site for about nine months and came across what i thought to be a great deal. But im now starting to think i may have just dug my own grave. This is a '75 salvage title with what I think is the original engine and tranny. I have not even really looked at it mechanically so I could not tell you why it stopped running, ( according to the PO six months ago). Up untill that point he was using it as a daily driver. Then the feul delivery stopped, and he decided to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) "spyderize" it. Anyhow, the main question i have at this point is what to do about the targa sails/bar???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I would like to bring it back to a stockish look; with the option to put the top back on it in poor weather. Let me know if this is a possibility and how much a PITA it will be. I plan on installing a roll cage, so the original targa strength is not paramount. However i would like to be able to drive in the rain and not worry about taking on water. Any advice is encouraged and appreciated

I would check the hell hole and the long. If they don't need any work I would re-install the targa and windsheild frame.

Sleeve the windsheild post at the weld joint. Remove a section of the outer targa bar so you can properly weld the inner structure reinforcement then replace the outer skin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
