DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Just read the resto again on abcgt Drew....fab work.
I must make an effort to finish my engine so I can come and visit you.

Hi Jeremy i hope you saw my DM back to you about the spindles, that late 59 A front bearings are the same size as B front bearings. It occurred to me that if you have swapped from drums to disks, have you also changed the master cylinder? A drum master cylinder will not work on disks as it has a bui...

Sorry to hear about your troubles Keith.
I suppose when you've uprated and replaced some parts the other older ones become the weakest link in the chain.
At least they are relatively easy inexpensive fixes.....I hope.
I still love the sound of your car.

Karl

Cheers James, your travel thread and the realization that I haven't driven the car in three years has given me more enthusiasm to get it finished. Thanks Andy and thanks for the google pic hosting advice. I was holding back on images because i have almost maxed out my free flickr account. Floor befo...

Just testing this method using my fathers day card. Thanks Andy. And Helen for asking. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AJFCJaUVyqHA2dCRiLEYaYjnPg1nT87iYoSE04sNsgPMEt8VpwSmnV7qKNhYZdqfSRciCZHohDshJ7THJ3gOOb6YA6SPm74RCHbsJwgycJqk7cw9TlRATBWshSAU8z8R_veKYdeS2IP7rGZPdxoE_yJSvR_9ySz1PbZxLu_f2WXFnenU...

Loved reading this, thanks.

Thanks Gary, what's the saying, take care of the pennies and they look after the pounds.........or something along those lines. Hugo I have disassembled and rebuilt the engine when I first got it to solve some major oil leeks, but taking care in the detailed specs I haven't. I've always wanted to do...

Good luck with your build.

Karl

WOOHOO....good news

Karl

Good luck with firing it up Greg, I hope it goes smoothly.
Looking great and amazing progress.

Karl

Wow the acceleration of your car in the video seems impressive Keith. Usually when you watch these sorts of video clips, I think gosh the reality of it doesn't really show.
Plus of course your driving skills look equally impressive.....
Keep getting faster.

Karl

So a progress report from me on the slow engine rebuild. Hopefully the engine won't be slow :lol: When I put the gears on the crank I took the liberty of chucking the third piece in the oven also. With that warmed up , I hoped the new bearing would drop in almost by itself so when it didn't I got a ...

Happy birthday Thomas, have a good one.

Karl

This is going to be a very cool car Greg.
