DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Just finished my latest little job, replacing the electric fuel pump. My car is running an ancient MFI electric pump that I dont have much confidence in simply because of their reputation for failing and the fact it is clearly original. I was thinking I ought to carry a spare as, if I break down the...

Went on a drive out to Wales today seeing as its the first decent day of 2022. Avoided Snowdonia, the land of traffic and speed cameras went through Denbigh and Powys and Shropshire hardly a car in sight! How many litres of cider do we think its possible to fit in a 911? When I get to Herefordshire ...

My two biggest money pits in life...

Valves etc

Have the P&c's been measured and found to be within spec.? No valves.... Please confirm? The original valves and springs come with it all, I can take a picture later. Annoyingly, the seller I got the pistons from measured the pistons and cylinders and they were all good, but I cannot find the p...

ALL SOLD The last 18 months I have been slowly putting together an ST style 2.5l short stroke build. But I have started to think I may head in another direction. So I am willing to sell what I have currently amassed. Equally if it doesn’t sell I will carry on with what I have started. - A 2.7l 7R en...

A couple of more weekend tasks. I put new plastic parts in my door strikers as they were all smashed up which it pretty typical I believe. https://i.imgur.com/W6uDu56.jpg I bought a leakdown testing kit and set about trying to do a test to satisfy my curiosity of what my engine is like. First thing ...

Looking for 2x hooks for the seatbelt buckles to hang in near the B post 90180313500

Im still finding little things to do on the car to make improvements. My car has continued to be a old git to start from cold. I can be cranking it for an age, often it coughs and hunts like its going to fire but then dies. I had earlier tried using my heated screen switch to actuate the enrichment ...

Lovely badge. Who supplies the Kardex, and at what cost? Thanks Guys, Im really happy with the badge, only £50 on eBay too! I'll keep it until I can find an Ulster one. "davep" on ESR is the man for the Kardex's but you can only get them up to 1969 so my car just about scrapes in. I belie...

Im a sucker for a lovely period grille badge. I have been looking for an appropriate Northern Ireland based motorsport one. The Ulster Rally or Circuit of Ireland or something like that but I dont think they ever made them, if they did they are very hard to come by. In the meantime the next best thi...

My car lost its original registration in 1975. I assume it was kept by the original owner. I might be able to get it back by completing some DVLA forms as I believe it is currently not being used as far as I can tell. As part of this I need to complete a V765 form which includes an "inspection&...

Got my Kardex yesterday. Confirms I have matching numbers engine and gearbox. Delivered originally as Light Ivory as suspected. Black basketweave leatherette interior. The 3 options are 5-speed box, comfort package (S exterior trim & fuchs), and speaker in dash. All good to know especially my ma...

Looks like its no.1 definition of car is "a small carriage of burden" which seems about right to me
