James P Posted 24October, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 24October, 2015 Update on the Darwin Targa... Someone is smiling I spent all day looking under & over her, well to my surprise & total joy it turns out she has been almost totally restored I'm talking everything new & painted all new rubber components on suspension, new disks & pads, callipers rebuilt, 3.2 oil cooler, DP motorsport exhaust.. very cleanThe interior is clean apart from the dash top that had some vinyl stuck to it to hide some huge cracks ill get the dash restored. The front seats have beed re-trimmed well but the colour is not the same as the rear seats, new targa roof vinyl & head liner, all other interior is just perfect.She came with all her original equipment like cookie cutter wheels, trombone oil cooler, AC parts, & original exhaustWont take much to get her back to totally original...One issue she has is the wipers return to the left side at rest but she has RHD wiper arms? looks odd any one know if you can change the wiper stroke to rest on the right side?
