DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi Charlie,
No, I'm afraid you're on your own there. I cut and fitted my own using paper templates I made. It's not that hard to do, just takes a bit of time. The other option is getting a local trimmer that's willing to take it on, but that might entail getting the car to them.
Cheers

Hi Knoxy, great we're only a few miles apart I would love to see Helga so if I see you I'll flag you down, cheers Colin

Hi, my bonnet sits about halfway up with the springs in the middle notch, so I'm thinking to move them to the forward notch. What is the recommended method to do this as the springs are really hard to extend. I see a stop pin on the hinges, so do I slide this out to allow the bonnet to open more tha...

7.jpg Hi, I see no-one has posted here for a long long time. So I thought I would try and resurrect this topic by showing my Speedster build. It's a Speedster Clinc kit with balljoint front and IRS rear suspension. 1641cc type 1 engine with twin 36 dellorto's. Been on the road since this May and I'...

Hi Charlie I'm running a 1641cc in a Speedster and although I've not experienced that issue, believe me, I've experienced quite a few others 🤣 but check your points gap is set correctly, and also check your plug leads and coil lead are secure. Double check your wire connections to the coil are the r...

Hi Brian,
Yes that was me. I live in Troon, and was on my way home from helping out a mate with his car in Pestwick. It was such a great day weather wise I had to take her out.

Thanks everyone for making me feel at home here. The 914 is my first "real" porsche 😃 and loving her, and the road holding. She's a fantastic car in great condition and I feel lucky to have found her. The Speedster I built from a kit, beetle based with balljoint front and irs rear and with...

Hi everyone, I posted in the new member section, but also posting here as I'm the new owner of JRZ4914. I've always had an itch for a 914 and finally managed to scratch it a couple of weeks ago. What can I say, she's a fantastic car and only needs a few minor job's done which ill do over the winter ...

Hi everyone, New member just joined, and thanks for accepting me. I've finally scratched my itch and recently got myself a Porsche 914, year 1974, 1.8 with twin carbs. Fantastic car, and been a good few runs now, but still trying to get used to the gear change :lol: there's a few really minor job's ...
