DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Yeah that would have been mine. Cheers man.

So I’ve been drilling trim holes in the new panels along the sill and rear quarter, but also working out where the battery sits exactly. Managed to forget to weld in the bit the strap clamps down to, just wondering if anyone has a picture I can use for reference, I’ve got the correct size battery, but the bracket I’ve got seems too long.

Sam, pose the same question in the 912 section on this forum?
Might get better exposure.

Little update, Chris from sublime classic restorations popped round on Saturday to help sort the battery tray and also get the gaps right on the decklid, while I done the doors. Forgot to take pictures while we where doing it, but got the finished products.

The battery tray that was sent with the panels was longer, I’m assuming so you could fit a larger battery if you needed too, but I wanted a snug fit, so decided to shorten it so it looks right.




Then onto the decklid.





Will still need a bit of fettling before paint, but it’s miles better than my attempt at fitting it.
Then I had a go on the doors.


Just got the washer bottle mount to weld in, then it’s ready to go for paint.

There is a plastic battery tray - bottom and top - that is used with the battery that fits within the metal frame you've welded in. See link http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-part ... ion=902-00

Better gaps than mine!

Only a minor update, but got my washer bottle stand and washer pump bracket from restoration design last week and got it welded in. The body is now completely ready for paint, it’s booked in, just waiting for the call for me to take it up there.

Any update on this?

Yeah its currently in for paint at StyleHaus, ended up being quite a long wait to get it in.

Its now dry built and the prep has started, but i didn't get any pics the last time i was up there, ill get some as soon as there is any more updates hopefully over the next few weeks.

Hey guys, thought I’d post a little update, plenty been happening, just not posted for a while.

So I mentioned about it had gone to paint a few months ago, since then its been dry build up, panel gaps checked and corrected where necessary, loads of research into the correct texture/body colour/black and what goes where etc..... anyway, I’ll let the pics do the talking.

Off to Stylehaus in Northampton






Gapped up, panels back off and prepped ready for the first coat of primer







First coat





Panels back on, gaps looking good.





Really excited, unfortunately due to this whole lockdown situation I can’t go and see it for myself, but Steve is keeping me updated with plenty of progress pics. Also really impressed by the attention to detail they are putting in to make sure the body is as close to original as possible.

Great update!

And it’s painted, to say I’m happy with it is an understatement and it’s turned out better than I could have imagined.....

Wonderful

Wonderful colour, congrats

Totally cool, stunning, credit to you
