DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

It's an impressive wrap for sure, looks great in the sun.
I saw some pictures Jonathan today!!
Cricky!

I replaced those nuts with K type nuts, flanged at one end, but M6 / 10mm AF. This allows a smaller socket on a 1/4" entention etc to do them up etc. on the LOLA carb manifolds where I have less space than you! They are copper plated too so resistant to corrosion, even cheap for a special faste...

Hill climb at Loton Park this weekend, lots of Porsches there.

Possibly of interest, but this is my 3.2 on the last rolling road run when it was about 10 miles old, absolutely fresh engine, so we were careful.

Please turn the sound up when watching, but the car drives like the engine sounds.

Cold start is a bit of a churning slog. By this I mean pump the throttle hard a few times and turn it over and keep tying for about 10 secs. It will catch but is hard to keep it running, but soon it will be consistent inside of a minute. When fully warm it is very drivable. It also hot starts thrott...

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...
