DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I would ahve thought £500-£1000 to be nearer the mark to be honest, they are quite happy to stick big prices on any plates as it fills up their catalogue but almost noone ever sell for these list prices. Ive just bought V200 BUG for our NB for £400 and I also have V4DGE for a lot less. 356 plates is...

Not had much time on this for a while but when I came back to it I found a problem with the rubber mounts being corroded on the bolts, one was so bad that when I went to put nut on the free thread the internal welds broke off. Priced up new ones and said no way so instead cut off old bolt and then c...

Just got everything from Karmann Konnection as was quicker and easier that way however I have now discovered a few much cheaper places in US especially for panels.

An old mate of mine is based or was based in South Wales, his names Mick frewer but I have lost contact with him, done some nice interiors in the past!

Might be worth asking on Volkszone to see if anyone has a current contact for him.

Think you can safely say hes a tad excited about this car. Not 100% to my liking but there again I dont really like green cars! even though I currently have a couple!!! Quite suprised to see how small that allen key was for the suspension though, bet you have to regularly turn those just to make sur...

Has anyone got any spare lying around they would like to part with for not too ridiculous money please


Cheers

Please PM

Sounds like that will be me cutting and welding new studs in then that is a ridiculous price, already done one and may have to do one more but an hours labour compared to that is well worth it.

Rubbers great on these its just wear on the studs which has caused two to spin when tightened

A couple of the bolts on the front rubber mount have come loose so i cant tighten the buts. Ive cut one out already and replaced it with a bolt and will weld it up in the morning, however if they are not ridiculously expensive we will buy some new, however everything else we have bought has been sil...

are 356's spring clips like VW's? If so the spring clips loose their 'springyness' after a while and don't hold the valve cover as tight against the head as they should. maybe consider new spring clips? This would be my starting point before using any sealant at all. When putting on seals always ru...

I was having enough of a job getting the bugger out just didnt want to move.

Just about finished welding up a 67 bug on a pretty full resto so will move onto the 356 as soon as thats done ready for the next bug to come in some time this week!!!

Cheers Paul if you hadnt of replied I was going to call you and discuss like before. You have described it how I thought it was and indeed it was one in and one out so everything seems to be fine :) Just got to find a couple of bolts for the spring plates now as a couple had to be cut off. Hopefully...

I forgot to take a pic of these in situ and being removed can anyone show me how these go back on please as Ive sort of forgottoen. Stupid I know but hey. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o266/NicB_C/porsche/workshop028.jpg and also do i put them on gearbox first and then front mounts or the other...

One for around £5k on volkszone at the minute

Should be a relatively easy fix then

I have some rubbing alchol and that seems to remove most things without too much hastle
