Advice needed. Newbie looking to do a restoration right

Some Targa's leak, check the seals, take it through a car wash to be sure it doesn't leak.

All turbos came with the wing, some N/A's came with the wing as a dealer install.

All turbos have LSD, if it's a 92 like you're looking for most likely it's a 3.73, pre-89 came with a 3.90? and N/A's with the sports package for all years came with a 4.30.

Another thing, the 89-92 had the 3 piece spoiler/different front end/full face tail lights, so if you don't care about year that opens up your options on what you're buying.

I saw you didn't really care about turbo so you may or may not find an N/A with the wing on it. I have an N/A that I'll be installing the 3 piece wing on soon. Not for sale though!

To find a NICE rolling chassis look to spend 1-2k. One with dings/bad paint but no major damage, anywhere from free to 1k.

I THINK all the info above I gave is correct, I could be wrong on some of the LSD stuff as I'm just going by memory.
