DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Yes I turned it around Wayne. Will try to get back to some sort of chronological order now. As mentioned earlier last autumn it was time for the MFK which is the equivalent to the MOT in UK, just a lot stricter as for classic cars they check not only safety related points but also for originality an...

Then there was that little detail of a low frequency noice from the freshly rebuilt engine at cold idle. Engine builder agreed to take a look at it but it meant I had to bring it there, a 700 or so km return trip, plus the flights from Switzerland to Sweden that is... And yes before anyone mentions ...

Got exited and jumped directly to (nearly) present in the last posts, here’s a shot of how the first test drive ended... turned out to be a worn ignition switch which took a while to find as it was highly intermittent.

Richard, thanks and thanks for sorting the photo, mind explaining that I did wrong?

Gary, Richard's entertainment is...

Car was finally finished around autumn 2017, I'm using the term finished loosely here as will become apparent during upcoming updates. Anyhow, I only collected ...

I was looking fwd to this and had booked a couple of nights at an overpriced hotel, must say I was really surprised learning that the event was cancelled by the Swiss government, can’t be bothered driving up there and of course no refund from the hotel... oh well they’ll be other events this year.

Graham, thanks will Check it out.

Marek, sent you a PM re contact details.

A few years ago Sportwagon Eckert in Germany were advertising new torsion tubes. Not sure if they still have them. Probably best to email them as their website is hopeless. There are also a couple of threads on Pelican which describe a method of removing a torsion bar tube without totally restoring...

Thanks Marek, will check out RD, is this a job you would take on if I would deliver the car?
