DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi Tom, Hope all is well with you. Finished that Gemini Blue ('72E?) resto yet? The side profile is nice as well. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8676/16602387735_3f401206f8_h.jpg 4G2O1583.jpg by T M Paterson , on Flickr Looks all right, I suppose. :wink: Good point about ride height, if only for aes...

I am biased, as owner for several years of a 993 Carrera (so narrow body). I also have a 69S. My 2p: A C2S is loverly, but... Price difference compared with a narrowbody 993 is quite large. Perhaps not justified. Usually found on 18s and in that spec they tend to drive noticeably heavier than a NB o...

I saw a thread on here recently re a UK company who had done a really awful job for a DDK member. They should be avoided. Unfortunately I can't remember the name! Perhaps somebody else can? Here's the relevant thread: viewtopic.php?t=50172 I've just had a speedo done by Julian Reap, all good. Altho...

Ouch! Sorry to hear. I saw your car at the end of last summer, up at Neil's place. It is indeed lovely. I'm sure the engine is in good hands. Give me a shout when it's back, if you fancy a run out to leafy Surrey. I would love to see it again as inspiration for my ongoing 2.2S resto. Cheers, Richard.

PM sent.
Cheers, Richard.

Has anyone seen Marek's repros? I hear (just rumour) that the quality of those is the best among repros. But I have not seen them so can't properly comment. Super rare, but I seem to recall someone doing them in fibreglass? EB do them, sort-of. Rears stock fitment, Fronts intended as backdate so to ...

Ouch! Beard scratching was safer. I've done a bit of that today and, as a result, have hardly broken anything at home. When the above is sorted out and you don't want it to rust again - please accept a personal recommendation for ACF50: http://www.learchem.com/products/acf-50.html http://www.pistonh...

Funny old colour isn't it, red in the workshop and orange in the sunshine..... Shade and sunshine change everything.....like having multiple colours of the rainbow in one package.... http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/darrentompkins/Mongrel/Contrast_zps3567ca22.jpg :love4: :love4: :love4: :lo...

Jamie, I've enjoyed your build thread very much - many thanks. More recently I'm enjoying your musings / anguished cries for help of a tortured soul. Couple of thoughts. I shall be as pretentious as possible to make you look down-to-earth: 1) The very fact that you are considering this deeply, and h...

Hi Tom,
Very very nice.
I like the BBSes - have gone in a similar direction with my 993:



(Unlike yours, mine wasn't clean at the time of the photo and it's definitely not clean now!)

Cheers, Richard.

Perfect day, I'd say. Proper lunch and a beautiful shell, home safely.
Congratulations and good luck with the rest of the story.
Cheers, Richard.

Ouch.
I think I know roughly where that is in Shanghai (French Concession somewhere - the trees are characteristic). If I'm right, it's really not the place for Le Mans driver fantasies...

Here's a repro of how Porsche did it on the R: http://www.st-classic.com/oil-breather-catch-tank.php Or if you are really cool you just use a Motul oil can: http://www.maxted-page.com/resourcelibrary/managed/29b170ea-699c-409a-b47b-ec342cec885c.jpg http://www.maxted-page.com/cars/car-details.aspx?id...
