DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I had a fight with mine recently - I found a bit of silicone spray , grab the end with a pair of pliers , give them a good pull downwards , and wiggle side-to side , and they popped straight in

Hi Dave I have this wheel - pin stripe is white not black. Made by Personal , and was fitted to my 1967 911S - not sure of age , but I'm sure someone on here will know!! Let me know if of any interest. Mark http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee289/mark911rsr/parts/DSCF0166.jpg http://i233.photobucke...

Hi Mike

I'll take the rear screen seal if still available (though I think you may be taking the Lightweight theme too far if you're running with no windows )

Looking good Mark, love the front braces. How is the engine coming along? Thanks Brendan Engine has not progressed much recently - most engine work will be cosmetic , and sorting the wiring loom - so I'll probanly get back onto it in a few weeks when I realise I need to put it in the car!! In the m...

Thanks Chad - I have been following your build on the Early S Forum - I have it saved for reference when I attack the centre fill mods !! BTW - I really like those Superlite wheels , they look more like the original Minilites , than current Minilites do :roll: The current Minilites don't have much o...

I've just realised it's been a while since an update , and progress seems slow at the moment - the weather has not been too helpful recently , and the small jobs always take at least 3 times as long as you expect :roll: The problem with painting the whole shell is that as soon as you refit anything ...

Well - ahead of schedule , I have now got the car back on it's wheels for the first time in several months , and whilst waiting for the brakes to arrive , have started wrestling with the wiring loom refitting. Fortunately - it has not really been messed about with much in the last 40 years - so ever...

I've had mine for a while now, but been using it a lot more on the track recently...my old car behind just can't keep up... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/pledgeprods/DSC03068.jpg [/img] :lol: :lol: Nice one Peter - though I do have certain so-called friends who would swear blind that I cou...

I'm a bit surprised you did not go coilovers on the rear as well as the front? It will look too good to drive when you are done! :albino: I did consider coilovers on the back too , but there are certain issues I believe in doing this to a SWB car. As I understand it , the openings to the shock towe...

Looking good Mark How does that elephant cross brace fit at the front - it looks like there's some sort of bracket down there - any chance of a pic or two? I'm thinking of putting one of those in mine at some stage You are correct - ER suplly a couple of brackets and backing plates , which bolt thr...

Finally finished the painting this week :lol: , and despite having all my ER suspension parts ready to go on , realised I had neglected to refurb the suspension arms !! A few hours with the wire brush , the bead blaster and the spray gun , and time to start trial fitting the suspension. http://i233....

Well - I'm finally coming to the end of the "dirty" phase. The complete underside has now been stripped , Rust Bulleted , stone - chipped , and at last , this afternoon I have started spraying the topcoat :lol: All my Elephant Racing parts have now arrived , so looking forward to unmasking...
