DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I'm overseas with work but engine is in and hope to start-up the engine this week coming.

Big thing in the middle is missing , so not sure that will start up

Very pleased to have the car back home, took far too long to do very little but not going to harp on, rather just happy to have the car back, driving with good brakes, engine running well, transmission shifting - i.e. a car again. Still some interior to finish of then MOT and road testing, already know the front wheel bearings are noisy so will need changed but there is always stuff that would need sorting post rebuild.

That looks so cool!

Keith’s right, it does look great .

Indeed it does look good, very good. By the way... Keith's always right (apart from when he's wrong)

In keeping with most of the builds on this forum, time takes it's toll and work and other things just keep getting in the way of finishing the job. Not any longer. The car is finish and I've been out driving it today with a view of getting an MOT asap - this week. Still running the 2.7 and needing to balance up the carbs, but first impressions is the car drives well and handling like a dream, brakes are a tad soft as new pads/discs all round, engine pulls stong as expected. It's been well worth the wait, looking forward to racking up some miles over the end of the summer and autumn. I'll post more pics soon, time was better spent behind the wheel today.

Looks wonderful

Looking good Robin

Vroom ! Vroom ! Enjoy, Robin

Just lovely

Stunning car robin

Thank to all for kind words. I'll get more pics over the next few weeks - time to enjoy the car I think.

Time to enjoy all your hard work Robin. Car looks great. Look forward to seeing it some time.
Wish you many happy miles.
