DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Made it into storage last week without drama. I’m hoping it will only be in there for a month or two at most. Other news is that I’ve sold my 3.2 Carrera, It was a really great car but selling means I can really focus on getting this finished. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53608718365_f89d6206...

Ended up going full Monte on the ride height too as the tilting flat bed wasn’t available to move it. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53608545829_28c4c1ffc4_c.jpg 1000052794 by richard cannings , on Flickr Next step was to get engine in on a temporary basis.

Steady progress, An impending house move meant the priority was to get the car to a point where it could be moved into storage as a single entity and be water tight. Windscreen was the first thing on the list. I ordered a tinted heated screen from Ricky Evans that tunned up without issue and was dee...

Hi There, I don't know about the original finishes but for the black parts I prefer to use epoxy primer and satin 2K paint after media blasting. I've had problems with powder coating where if you do get a chip and water ingress you end up with corrosion running under the plastic. 2K paint can easily...

Thanks for your thoughts,
I'll have a look in that area. I may just bin it tomorrow, I'm sure that within no time I'll find out how rare, valuable and important it is.

Hi there, I would be grateful if anyone could tell me what this part is. Most likely from 1987 3.2 Carrera that had A/C or a 1970 LHD T. Looked in both PETs but couldn't find it. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53504804704_3a7a1c5cf5_c.jpg 20240202_163442 by richard cannings , on Flickr Thanks R...

Looks like it may be a 260z from looking at the wheels.

Spotted this in the garden of a house I viewed today, one of a pair rusting in piece.

Now removed from the engine, Internals look in good condition with just some light surface corrosion. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53482829664_3eb3deab3e_c.jpg 20240121_220313 by richard cannings , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53482527336_01fd264da4_c.jpg 20240121_220258 by r...

Price drop to £50 plus postage

Just noticed when listing on ebay that a part was missing on the images. All present and correct.

That's actually really helpful thanks.
I've just fitted a Red Top and Regulator with Gauge. I didn't know the load/idle pressure differences and camera is a great idea thanks.

Hi There, I've stripped this for inspection. The motor seems to run well when connected. Part number is 0580960009. Just looked on D911 and a new one is £791. Please assume this needs a rebuild with new O ring. £100 plus postage. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53465525932_3a12a0d808_c.jpg 20240...

That's great, I'll start looking for a box.

Hi There, All items as pictured. I might add a few more bits to the pile as I'm having a sort out out. The starter motor spins, the clock clicked i bit when I connected power but then nothing. Sorry short on time at the moment so cant split. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53465349182_216496c5f9...
