DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi Margaret It is difficult to understand how the torsion bar could get kinked. It is held inside the tube of the A frame of the front suspension on the car. If it got bent while in place the A frame must be bent too. If it was bent at some point when it was taken out it would surely be difficult to...

I also noticed this while looking for parts for my own car: ashtray (aschenbecher) on ebay Germany: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Porsche-911-f-Modell-Aschenbecher-/141863053786?hash=item2107b269da:g:hAYAAOSwSHZWgSNw Note the shipping is only EUR18 according to the body of the advert rather than EU36 in th...

Today I decided I would fit my re-chromed door handles. On investigation of the lock cylinders, I discovered that they matched the ignition key! Hurrah! Although I had driven the car in the US, I couldn't remember why the car came with two keys and assumed it due to mismatched ignition and door loc...

I noticed this but the small holes may not pass the 'good condition' test.

Corrected that for you.........it wasn't hard

Second correction

Maybe 'a strong parts car' is an Americanism for 'it will need a lot of parts' as there is not much that looks worth saving.

It looks like I managed to melt this while removing the heater tube from the sill. http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af9/graemecobb911/HeaterTubeEnd_zpsgi1rkmhn.jpg Would anyone have a spare from a heater tube that has been replaced? I am assuming they are all the same diameter from year to year al...

I had the flap and hinge for the 1972 MY oil filler but it has disappeared.

Anyone with one or a lead for where I could get one much appreciated.

Definitely a couple of suspect previous repairs. I plan to get the body work done professionally. Although I am prepared to turn my hand to most things reading the importance of getting it all aligned properly I think I will pass it to someone with a jig. There is still plenty to keep me busy refurb...

The car looks and sounds great. Well done for getting it going again.

It took 3 weeks rather than 2 so all the rust was removed but better that than coming back half done. This is after the first stage of the process which effectively burns the paint. That has to be the worst look. http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af9/graemecobb911/IMG_0563_zpsk5lh5y9p.jpg And after...

Sounds intriguing. Looking forward to the next instalment.
