The car I purchased for restoration was a California car for most of it's life and then spent the last fourteen years in Nevada. Good news is its virtually rust free, bad news is everything is dried out and cracked. I've replaced all fuel and vacuum lines, now It looks like I have to replace every other piece of rubber on the car.
Wondering what is the best source for these pieces(Mostly worried about window/targa/trunk etc. seals) Thanks. |

Bite the bullet and buy factory OEM seals. I can only think of 1-2 seals that can be done at home and look "ok" when done. GPR sells the factory seals along with every other parts pusher out there. Rubber has actually stayed about the same price wise. Its the hard parts made from steel that have sky rocketed.
The targa pad is a whole different story. We really need a replacement. I havent even tried to price one through Porsche. B |
