DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Well christmas seems a long time a go now, haven't quite got where I wanted to be, got a bit distracted with a Jag MK2 project, but now focusing on the Targa again..

Thanks Jonny,

That's good news actually, I'm glad there aren't ecu's on my model, I like things simple.

I'll be in touch when I get closer the engine stage of my restoration.

Thanks for clarifying that chaps, you'll have to forgive my ignorance, my classic car knowledge is mainly on british cars that have needles & butterflies, not these squirty things. So apart from the CDI box of magic, what other electrickery is used on these models, what led me astray was searchi...

Thanks Jonny,

I get what your product does, thanks for the info,

So what controls the fuel injection system, is there a system that does both?

Hi Folks, I'm a newbie to flat sixes, so I'm looking for some advise on ECU's, I bought a restoration project, but the ECU's are missing, it's a 1975 2.7, so should I find the standard ECU's or look into using something more modern as an upgrade, the engine is standard, so hope to keep the distribut...

He certainly is, have you posted any pictures of your restoration on here?

I notice Steve did post a few times, it's a shame he's stopped

There are few places that the tinworm didn't get a foothold on, surprisingly all sill areas are good, as are the torque tubes, but yeah, it was scary project, I'm hoping to get into primer for christmas

Those annoying little rust holes in the middle of panels are a right pain, as they can end up warping a bigger area that was ok.

You are doing some good work Gary, well done

That's an idea, do a digital rendition of a rusty one, outlaw styley

To learn proper coachbuilding I like to play a bit with aluminium, so when I've got some free time, I do a project just for the challenge & learn along the way, so no pressure. This front wing might not go on the car as I want to keep it as original as possible, it was fun at times, but not comp...

Welding always causes shrinking, so only address the weld by stretching, the peripheral warping will disappear if you do this right.
