DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

You're in good hands Gary

Great photos Darren, ready for CLM 2022?

Took a brave pill and set about prepping the original exhaust, surprisingly it was a lot less rotten than I expected and only required some minor welding to the outer skin. Just need a splash of paint now. The Dansk sport one currently on gotta go as I can’t stand the ugly tail pipe. https://uploads...

Getting the car home didn’t turn out exactly as I had imagined, I met up with the transportation guy on the French side to reload the car to my trailer, and this is where it all went a bit wrong... When I reversed up on the trailer I scratched/dented the rear quarter and passenger door. Needless to ...

And she’s on her way

Thanks Ray! Yes would be great catching up when all these covid restrictions are out of the way, I can see an alp trip coming along.
Can't wait to see your hot rod, love the colour!

Thanks for sharing and very well done on the MFI

Time for a small update. The car has been assembled for some weeks and I've been looking at a loads of options getting it collected, I won't bore you with the details but Covid and Brexit hasn't made it easy...

Yearly inspection of the 993, could’ve gone better so need to re-test within 14 days...

Sent you a pm re potential shared transport as I'd need to get a car transported in the other direction.

Fully approve of the lazy car cleaning regime! can't even remember what year it was when last cleaning the 993... did give it a quick vac inside last summer though :roll: To balance my own laziness I must admit considering to give the T a coat of ceramic coating once its back from paint, still just ...

Thanks Darren, looking fwd to catch up and see your latest too, bring on CLM 2022... Steve the painter dropped me an email the other day, Barry had been around for an inspection of the completed paint job and they were both pleased with the result, haven't got any photos but I happily take their wor...
