That is lovely, to own it from new too, lovely!! A friend's (who owned my v8 90 originally) parents has a 964 targa bought from new, it's done around 10,000 miles and it occasionally comes out at Christmas for them to deliver Christmas cards in!
It's commonly known as 'the shelf' as it sits in one of their many garages with stuff piled on it!!
My mate is slowly inheriting their car collection, already having their DB6, which is one of two of the most amazing cars I've ever seen, the thing is achingly beautiful!

Black jack paint Thumbs Up its a dirty horrible job! 2 coats and then you should be good. Other option if the house is a keeper, dig the floor out and relay it, with some insulation....Be alot warmer to lay on Laughing


I'll look into that paint Thumbs Up the house is a keeper but I can't be bothered with digging the floor out Rolling with laughter Ray

Just done my garage in our new house. Took a load of pvc cladding off the front of the house which made a pretty decent ceiling and reflects loads of light.

Got these rubber tiles from Duratex, were pretty easy to cut and fit. https://www.duratex.co.uk/rubber-matting/3...thick.html

Next job is workbenches on either side of the screen (dusty messy stuff goes behind the screen to keep the sled nice and clean)
