DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Cheers guys, really really pleased with how it’s turned out.

Decided in the end to go with the correct black texture underneath, fully painted insides but with the black factory details around the runners, managed to get hold of a Porsche paint manual so it’s as close to factory as possible, just nicer

Inside with the black details around the edge of the doors, dash and seat runners



Inner arch, love the details of the factory spot welds showing through



Underside



Rear seat area



Also satin black inside all the doors, tunnels etc

looks fantastic

Looking spot on.

Also picked this up while i was at it always wanted an early cabriolet, so couldn't resist.



Apart from the terrible black paint, its actually completely solid...



Anyway, back to the porsche......

I see you off loaded this to a certain Drew Pritchard.
Certainly was a solid car under the black paint. Looked nice once stripped back.

Haha yeah i did, sold to them over a year ago now, but the programme has only just aired... the Porsche made an appearance too

Was a really good solid car, and they ended up making a nice job of it.

And it’s home, ready to start putting it back together

That looks stunning

Ah, I hadn’t clocked that was your car. Enjoyed that episode, and a lovely little collection you have there. The 912 looks absolutely stunning, looking forward to seeing it built up. I have a feeling it might sit quite low?!!!

Not too low, I’d say I’m taking inspiration from some of the old 911 race cars with American Racing wheels, quote purposeful, chunky tires, something you could get it and take for a blast round country roads and have a bit of fun in.

That looks glorious. Must be really happy with the paint.

Yes exactly that!

Not much to update as I’ve been busy collecting new nuts/bolts, sorting out parts for powder coat etc. But did have a mess about with my wheels, love how the raw mag looks against the fresh paint.

looks stunning .. hopefully youre keeping the wheels like that ? ... or is the mag going to have ti be painted for protection ?

Look superb in that finish against the car
