I've just bought a complete interior from a 993 Turbo (Marble Grey, although the blue was growing on me) and want to fit it in a 993 Targa. I won't be picking it up for two weeks and am wondering which parts will fit and which won't. I'm assuming the rear parcel shelf won't fit and am wondering about the rear side panels. Can any of you knowlegeable guys (it pays to flatter sometimes) offer me some advice on which items will / won't fit and what I'd need to keep from the Targa interior and have retrimmed? Also, the interior is in Falkirk ( 940 miles return trip) so I'm wondering whether I should have it delivered by courier, the drawback being that the interior is in mint condition and couriers aren't always that careful. Does anyone know what a complete interior (including carpets) might weigh? confused

Southbound trimmers should be able to answer your questions?

the 993 targa is different to 964 and earlier i know, but on those early cars the rear panel was interchangeable. I think but might be wrong that the rear door cards are the same targa-coupe too, think you should be generally ok, think its the cabrio that most differences exist.

Presumptous maybe but what sort of seats might you be replacing as I am looking for either sports or hardback sports seats in US blue.

Sorry, the car has the standard interior.

What colour is the rear shelf you're getting rid of?

The rear shelf is blue but I'm going to have to have it retrimmed in grey as I don't think the one I've bought will fit. Won't know for sure until I've collected it.

I'd be interested in taking whichever shelf will fit a 993 coupe if you're willing to sell. A previous owner has fitted a rather fetching pair of 6x9 speakers to mine which I hate. banghead

Cheers,
Neil
