DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I found out an old copy of Total VW with an article on a Subaru engined 356 replica. They said the biggest problem they had was lowering the back end enough for it to sit right. A lot of these in galleries look a little too high.

Radiator normally goes on top of the engine right behind the back seat

Surrey is a bit far for me too.
Stanford Park and Stoneleigh are a definate for me.

Ha, would love to but an unfortunate encounter with the in-laws family is Sundays activity

Any particular destinations popular?

As the title. Anybody know where and when the next VW/Porsche meet or festival is?
Really missed out on taking mine to dubfreeze.

I never made it either, with all the rain sataurday never got a chance to get some sort of temp wheel alignment done. So who went anyway. Did those that never went miss out on anything. Ahh Ahh steve your petrol gauge dont give a true reading either, i've ran out a few times now. Think l got it sor...

Me too, might convert mine to the same! Is this a feature on any original models?

hello all

Im still going on sunday, is there a 356/porsche stand or presentation area?

(still trying to get the car going, although the weather doesnt look great)

mine are Fulda fronts - 225/45 x 16 rears - 245/50 x 16 on 5 stud fuch chrome rim with black insert wheels.

Gives it a much more aggressive cal/race look, plus i can use it on the strip or track. Not looking forward to replacing the rears though.

Not for the original/classic look.

Actually thats exactly what id do. Fill the car with your biggest mates and calmly pick the car up with your £2500 cheque. robbing B*****d.

Im sure theres a few people on here who'd turn up, i certainly would!

15 litres of primer AND 12 litres of paint????? Is the body an inch thicker!!!!??? There is no way they would get a penny over the maximum £2500 off me. Once you have paid they could tie this situation up in loads of litigation and make it impossible for you to get your money back. Take a witness, p...

Im waiting for a guy i know who can figure out why it will turn over but not fire up.
I dont think its a major thing but should be fine in time for dubfreeze.
Ive never been before but hopefully my powers of persuasion will allow us to park them somewhere safer/on show.

Yes!! Great memory. It shows it before the proper interior went in and backs up all my guesses about the previous use, features and whereabouts! All that's left now is to get it going again and get it back to former glory! I will see if I can get the scanner working and post it here. Apparently the ...

FOUND!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to Gary at the Speedster Clinic i now have the Total VW Magazine that originally featured my car.
I will put it on a thread if anyones interested, but it will definitely be kept sealed in a folder and preserved with the car.

If you can find one, try an oldish merc. i know early e class's and ML's used the pull handbrake system with a push down footbrake. Also early Lexus models had them too. Best place would probably be a salvage yard.

Not had any problems with mine as long as its serviced regularly.

i know a very good 'dent man' in the west midlands area if that helps?
