DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Touring all of the south coast of the UK this Easter....

Learning that you could dim the gauges in an early 901/902 by turning the light switch...

Even now and then I meet people who never knew this...

First things to check:

- Clutch pedal play
- Shift linkage and bushings

Especially the bushings make a big difference.
The dogleg box is often much better than thought of.

Make sure you use a good transmission oil (Swepco is preferred by a lot).
This also makes a difference....

Have fun!!

Great project, keep us posted!!

And when there's a similar car (with a correct VIN) on the lot? which one would you take?

OK, complete bodywork, and then what to do with the chassis number?
As far as I can see, it's rusted away on the original shell.

So, in the end there will be stamped something, this thread will live forever on the interweb (cached by several sources)

The car will be very hard to sell....

No, but it was known well enough, so the small Porsche world created another 'buz' around it....

I still don't get it...

Beautiful!!!

Mike.

LOL,

I don't get that 'Magnus Walker' thing.
Everybody is running after this marketing circus.

There's a reason they put poly bushes in... It's very hard to find good rubber ones. Not in size, but in compound. After three sets of rubber ones, from OE Porsche and after market I changed to poly bushes because all rubber ones were sagging after days. This has been a few years ago, not sure the q...

Hopefully the specialist will set it right now. The box was oil tight before it came apart for a slightly crunching 2nd. But I never get it, people tinkering so much with stuff that's pretty hard to get it right ánd expensive most of the time. It was just a naughty 2nd gear, it's a 40 year old car. ...

The Bosch Silver series are nice too. (I think the S4)
Have also the right size and the poles are on the correct position.

Nice!!!

Funny place, but two weeks?
It's not that big...

I second that. Good deals on that web site and easy to find...
