Hi Everyone,
I am John from Grass Valley, CA. I have a Guards Red '92 968 Cabriolet
with about 97K miles. I bought it in New Jersey in 2002 on a business trip
and had it shipped to Sacramento as a weekend driver. I briefly belonged
to a Porsche Club and enjoyed weekend events with my girlfriend. When
she passed away from ALS in 2007, I pretty much let everything go including
the 968. I have remarried now, and my interest in the 968 has returned. I
have just had the A/C retrofitted and recharged, which hasn't worked for about
3 years, and am now looking for someone to fix the cab top which has a
mechanical problem (heard something "snap" while trying to put it up 4-5
years ago. Had it repaired a few years before that by a dealer, and remember
it was expensive. Also had some of the interior upgraded in 2007 including
black piping on the "cashmere" seats. The inserts will need to be replaced
soon, so would appreciate knowing source/best solution to that issue.
Looking forward to contributing to the "boards"!
