DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Yes Neil, that’s him.
All cool calm and collected approach.
Not a new kid on the block.

I have a hot 3.2 on big PMO 50mm carbs, twin plug etc. For the final tune I used a very local RR who deal with about everything 4 wheeled, modern to classics. They are in Dudley West Midlands, so no good for you. Bainbridge would be a great choice i think. Many are put off by PMO carbs, but one they...

That is a lot of work! Looked and posted my reply last night, but seems out of order, operator error i expect. Get that other sill done! Shim number all depends on the belt when new or when 'run-in' and a bit stretched. Must admit I've never needed to re shim a new belt from installation to renewal,...

Seat back pivot pin and rail?

Fire extinguisher bracket in front of the seat?
Please not a cup holder!

Personally, I like leaving these 'bits' around an old car, all part of it's story.

OK Andy, found them on the shelf yesterday. When I fitted the 'glass bonnet in 94 ish I made a simple bonnet prop which lays alongside the NS top mount.
Length of 8 mm dia steel tube from B&Q and a few bits found in the garage, all good.

Simple is best.

Seat runner repairs?

This is a familiar story line to several posts on the PCGB Boxster/Cayman forum. My 2009 987.2 2.9 engine is as simple as they made them except for Bioneonthingy lights which are superb. The car is good. Not great, but after 8 years of ownership and a few ups n downs still with me and at a leggy 82,...

101 shades of Grey between Hot Rod and Restomod I think. Back in my days with them it was down to 2 phrases, Hot Rod and Street Rod. Lots of column inches spent on that 'conversation'. And back in the late 70's a mate built a 32 B glass body with a Hemi, and the weight was unbelievable. It never saw...

Odd hole, not factory i think, but the patch is spot welded excessively to seal it off.

Not easy to get to that area with spot welding arms, so a job done at the factory?

Or at lest not one 100 years old!
It would have been much easier with a modern lathe and a modern milling machine...
And someone who had the right skill-set of course.

Thank you Mark.
I see that the 'attendance' to this long thread is tailing off sharply so many getting bored!

Gaskets cut out of brown paper just and i think all the machining is behind me.

Been a slog at times, and great at other times!

Typical stuff really when pushing yourself a bit.

A lot concluded today. The Last Chapter is opening on this project. The Myford compound slide is back in it's box. Best £17 I spent on this lot. This means No More Milling. The cast iron scrap pile I hope/think is finished, this lot represents a lot of wasted time and a few bob on cast iron. The tub...

What a great find this is. 356 engined Beach Buggy on a '54 VW pan.
