Hi all,
just a short introduction, my name is Markus, just another enthusiast from Germany. I stumbled across this forum lately and I like it a lot! Until recent I spent my time (and money) on aircooled VW's but I finally bit the bullit and bought my first Porsche, a 1986 alpine white 944 Targa with virtually no extras.

The previous owner only drove 500 km per year in the last 9 years. The overall appearance is o.k., but there is a lot do on the mechanical side of things: new belts, shocks, rubber bits etc.
It came with some "special items" which need to be adressed as well, like the "16V" antenna and the Strossek rear bumper:

I checked countless cars and found a lot of rust buckets and real bad repaired wrecks before I bought mine and overall I am well chuffed.

If you are interested you can find links to my projects blogs in my signature, as I try to update them individually on their own blogs

Cheers,
Markus

Welcome Marcus, would you see you at the Porschefreunde Show at Oberhausen in May?

Thank you for the warm welcome!
Well, the Porsche Freunde meeting is incidently on the exact same date as the Maikäfertreffen in Hannover -> May 1st - an alomst 30 year affair- and until now I lean more towards the ACVW show - but: you never know!
