rafikdous Posted 4March Report Share Posted 4March A mate of mine is looking for a trimmer to replace the targa panel cover. Preferably in Sydney but other places ok too. Any recommendations? Most trimmers he contacted are either too busy or don't want to do the job. It's a 1979 SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epilot Posted 4March Report Share Posted 4March It's a bit of hassle shipping to and fro but he's the best https://www.carsincnj.com/targa-tops.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafe_racer Posted 4March Report Share Posted 4March I went through the expense on this. The top still wasn’t great. I really think the value is having this guy do it on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafe_racer Posted 6March Report Share Posted 6March Sorry I used that Dan guy in the US. Sent it over. I reckon to get it done well he needs to have your car there too. Not just the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter John Posted 6March Report Share Posted 6March Did he try east coast trim shop in Sydney? Just like any trade a hefty wait period is expected when someone has a strong reputation. It’s a smaller job and if you’re bread and butter is big jobs with long term clients it will be hard to get a look in- patience will be needed.

For the expense, I did not think it was worth it and did not think it was any different. (I sold my targa in the end.) cafe_racer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-S Posted 1April Report Share Posted 1April I’ve heard Prostitch in Sydney are good, have seen a couple done by them. I had mine done by Dan in the US, took the roof to him on a trip there, also got his front edge seals. Contrary to the others mine has been fine, however it was 5-6 years ago. Dan must’ve been well into his 70’s then so maybe things have got worse with time. He does sell a complete kit that any decent trimmer could use.
