DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I wish I had a point of reference but I’m hoping it’ll have a nice feel.

Good news!! You'll be ready well ahead on Ninove although I'm nosure what it will look like with a roof tent on top :shock: :lol: :lol: She won't be going to Ninove I don't think, I'll take the bus this time. So after re-familiarising myself with the trillion parts I have floating around I managed ...

She came back a day later than planned then I promptly flew out of the country. Not because of what I saw might I add.

The problem child returns tomorrow, and I have an engine sat in my garage. So brace yourselves.

Never saw this thread, wish I had before photobucket started holding images hostage.

RIP

Believe it or not the indicator actually fits fine, no idea how. Only reason it’s not fitted is because I ordered a more orange lens than the faded one I had but promptly snapped it in half getting it out the weapons grade bubble wrap it was in.

Intel from Irv would suggest that her stay there is coming to an end - although she is going to his storage unit whilst we wait for the motor to make an appearance. He's been chipping away at the list I gave him to fart around with - and tasks complete are as follows... •Weld in new fixing lugs for ...

You know what it's like graham, it's all the little things at the end that take the longest. I will love this car, but not after I'm done hating it with a passion first.

At the end of May I was working in Leeds, which geographically is many miles from my house but closer to the guy I wanted to do the paint blending on the new metal. He is in the Lake District, so I spoke sternly to the 912 and after an undisclosed quantity of timber successfully coaxed her onto the ...

Looks amazing.

In addition to this thought, is the fact that maybe - and I say maybe very loosely at this stage, I may paint it later down the line. This’ll obviously spring new surprises and a mountain of jobs like replacing the whole front end of panels but we’ll see. Let’s get her on the road first.

Thanks Graham, the plan is to send her to Irvs VW Restos (master patina blender)for some blending on the sporadically sanded doors and new sills and then leave as is. May treat the surface with some sort of oil/wax but I don’t want to lose that natural satin finish. I don’t like the whole shiny clea...

This last month or so has seen little time available in the garage so any time I did have was used as efficiently as possible. One thing I really wanted to achieve was a completely built up door so I could actually report that my futile efforts had delivered something dare I say, finished. My window...

Looking good, and those detail rear and pictures have helped me out no end. Since I got a bit gung-ho with my gearbox bellcrank after mistaking it for something I could live without I’m happy to see your solution with that cable. I’ll be copying it.

Tonight one of my boys wanted to use some tools to sort his skateboard so I went down with him and built my newly acquired pillar drill - something I’ve wanted for a while. Gave it a test run on the callipers as being American, the lugs had imperial holes so needed drilling out to 12mm. With the suc...
