DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Unfortunately I might be in the position of having to sell my car :( Wanted to gauge the interest on here first. As the title says its a RHD 1960 B T5, matching numbers 356. The original colour of the car is slate grey with red interior. The shell is pretty solid with the main areas of concern being...

How urgently do you need them?

I think I have a set off a B. Only problem is my car and numerous parts are ablout 100 miles from where i live and im not sure when I am there again.

I'd love a copy please!!!!

let me have an address please and I will send blank DVD's and postage money.

Ive been hunting on the internet for the Porsche 356 Guide To Do It Yourself Restoration -by Jim Kellogg and it seems to be out of stock/out of print everywhere I have looked.

Any suggestions on where I might be able to get a copy?

Thanks for the offer David, Im popping round to see Ren at the weekend with all the bits, he is a lot closer to me. Your blog looks very descriptive and will come in handy for the rebuild, thanks for the link. Had a look through the boxes last night as the engine only turned up yesterday, already fo...

Thanks Ren, are you about at the weekend?

Thanks for the info chaps,

A very good read indeed

After the encouraging feedback I got on an earlier post i have decided to give the welding a go on my 356. I have found a classic car restoration course at a local college that I am going to book myself on and would like to buy myself a restoration guide book to read up on and use as a reference too...

If my butt actually looked that good id probably have you lot falling all over yourselves to do my welding

What do you reckon Barry?

I'll have to think about your offer Barry

Thanks for all the great advise peeps. It never stops suprising me what a great bunch of people there are on this forum. It looks like all in favour of keeping it 8) you never know I might be lucky with a few repair panels and a couple of cans of matt black and I could have a proper rat look 356 on ...

Thanks for the advise James

Got a couple of options to think over.

Whats the average cost for having a shell blasted? and has anybody had a shell dipped and striped?

Thanks chaps, I really dont think im up to the weliding. Im to scared ill balls things up and make the condition of the car worse. Roy, your point is one of the main reasons im fighting the thought of selling it. I doubt I would ever be in the position to get another, especially as they are getting ...
