DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Hi Drew carpet was from Lakewell. Car delivered at my friends garage a little later than expected. We unloaded straight onto the hoist and fitted the transmission mounts. Guess who forgot to order the clutch release bearing - major embarrassment :( Spoke with PRS and they had one in stock. Procrasti...

Morning Guys, really sorry completely missed your responses.

The position does look slightly out but it is very much dictated by the hard line angles which feed the carb and fuel pump. The line is clamped onto the bracket for the bellows which has moved it down, but the bellows are not being used. Julian at Reap Automotive has finished the gauges ready to shi...

Will be a wonderful sound to wake up to, what more could they ask for

Paint by LA Customs and Zinc plating was a company in Beccles. The collaboration was to get the engine built in time for CLM. I was stuck in the middle ...
