DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

All received today… thanks again much appreciated.

I might be beneficial to set up a fitting thread for the mechanically challenged amongst us

Seems you pay an extra premium for the ‘patina’ and the DP association..

I completely understand it’s nice to retain originality, but take the 911 out of the equation would we be baulking at the prices if they had had a sympathetic concours restoration or is that sacrilege?

And another run of the mill one

Welcome Dennes….. Don’t be shy….You know we love a good restoration thread with PICTURES

Jamie shipped the bushings to me yesterday by USPS international Priority Mail so hopefully they will be here by the end of the week but I will keep you informed. Total cost for 45 bushings was $1,045 + $70 shipping to the U.K. = £25.50 per bushing at $1.20 : £1 exchange rate. Postage and Jiffy bag...

Strange one this ?

Bit of a Frankenporsche!??

For 3 decades now I have used Shell Helix ever since Bob Watson told me to. Is it the best? Goodness knows. Is it the worst (for my engines) goodness knows, but I'll stick with it. Funnily enough it’s also been my go to oil on all the older cars. Just bought a 20 litre drum from these guys for £90 ...

It will be done cold. The last time the 2 engines ran they were stinking hot, esp the Lola's and then shut off so all the hot oil had anything from the engine suspended in it. 4 months to drain to sump for both. I always leave the engine and dry sump tank plugs out until the dribble stops. No point...

Nice purchase.

Hell of a car for the money if you get a good one.

If you fancy some rather nice but different wheels in the perfect sizes/ offsets for a widebodied 996 I have these OZ Superlegerra III for sale in unmarked condition.

All received today. Thankyou Tom.

I’ve used Sports and Classics in Chelford on my 996 and 944 Can recommend them as they do early cars as well. Speak to Mike.

Tom if these are still available I would like a pair please. I’ve just sent you a message ?

John at https://www.unit11.net/ near Warrington is good value and knows his way round the older cars.

All done thanks Matt
