DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Ooh, how do you split them, or more to the point, recrimp the rings afterwards? I've got to rescue my ones at some point. I went around the crimped part of the bezel with a sharpened mini flat-blade screwdriver. Takes a few minutes of work. Once the gauges are all cleaned up, you can push the edge ...

It's mental. Pointless. Replace the floor and keep it real (literally).

No big reveal. I applied for a visa to the US last year. You know, 2016 - back when Barack Obama was president. The visa was approved in summer, a week after we discovered my girlfriend was pregnant. Wasn't banking on either, but somehow got both at the same time. He's due next week. All being well,...

Thanks Gavin. Yes - although the plans for the car changed a gazillion times during the build, the concept remained the same - basic and pure.

It drives wonderfully and slips and slides with confidence on the greasy winter roads. Amazing fun.

Test fit your sh-t
Befo' you paint yo' whip

wow .. great work from Barry and what a wonderful loookng car jamie too 8) anyone raised the issue with Porsche ? Barry told me what was involved. Basically, you raise the issue with the OPC, who then raise the issue with someone else, and eventually the info lands in Stuttgart - I imagine somewhat...

Great work - don't know how he got managed to re-plug weld without the heat getting through to the paint on the wings - great work I was under the wing with the air line, blowing air onto the back of the weld after each hit. Buzz bzz, tshchhh, bzz bzz, tshchhh, bzz bzz, tsssssschhhhh. Etc. Worked w...

Ughhhhh... it's late. How to write this up diplomatically? I finished adding to this build thread last summer - the car was on the road, running well. I was piling the miles on and having a wonderful time. But keen readers will recall the problems I had with the headlamps not fitting - in short, the...

Saw your car at Carter Industries today. The repairs are beautiful - as per usual, you can't see any of the sections that Barry has let-in. You're going to like the result!

"SAFE, BLUD"

?

That's not legal.

I agree, that anti-chip film always looks odd when the car is sparkling clean, but once there's a smidgen of road dirt on it you won't notice it. If it were me, I'd leave it on for the time being and see how I felt about it in a few weeks.

Agreed on the seat belts though - get them gone!

That is amazing. Sent him some money.

I shipped with Schumacher about five years ago and wasn't impressed. Totally impersonal, and got hit with a bunch of miscellaneous additional charges that weren't explained to me beforehand. A friend of mine had a total horror story that I can't even begin to repeat on here, but which ultimately end...

If I'd wanted an Aventura green tiptronic with a crap interior and 124,000 miles on the clock it would be easy This made me laugh. A few years ago, my girlfriend's (now my wife) Dad asked me about buying a 993. I gave him the usual list - C2, manual, not green, and no grey leather. Buy a good one f...

I love you Darren, but pls throw those black ones in the Bad Ideas Bucket.
