DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Wish I had that space Gary!! Here is mine - car is freshly Barry'd from the front, back to the doors. Luckily, one of the three bonnets that I had collected met his approval. I decided on new OEM wings as one of mine was toast behind the hockey stick shaped support and my attempts to 'fix' it with a...

Ahhh, but I have a cunning plan Gary - please let me know what you think... :compress: :bounce: 0 - cut out section of outer sill to provide access to the whole jack bracket area (done) 1 - drill out jack tube middle attachment to floor with (my large) spot weld cutter. 2 - slot the sheet metal imme...

During the last week, I was preparing to run the MFI engine before dropping it to take care of the back of the heel boards properly and do sill work without the weight of the engine. I last ran it 4 or 5 years ago (that wasn't the plan), following which I removed the fuel tank for front end panel wo...

Just found out how the tube is connected to the floor section from the pics in this thread... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche- ... ion-4.html

So, who things this old bugger will start on one battery charge? So far, I have: - cleaned ou...

Just came across this really detailed photo gallery supposedly for a 600 mile 1970 'S' (USA car)... https://www.flickr.com/photos/80724421@N00/sets/72157630169538658/ Could be useful for originality checks... this has just helped me to get all of my under bonnet cable harnesses, fuel breather system...

Hi guys, I am in the process of installing a new fuel tank and running the engine (2.4T MFI) before removing it for a rear end body resto. The original tank (has corrosion/hole) was removed for front body resto. I am looking for suggestions on the best ways to prime the MFI pump located behind the r...

Love it, and sounds like a lucky find !! I parked close by at work and drooled over a purple one with orange wheels and lettering, for years - it was strangely attractive in those colours too, especially next to my all black 996.... enjoy!

Wowza, I've never seen one of these before - looks fabulous. I wonder where its mate is ?!

back in the loft, but available if anyone ever needs them please contact me....

couldn't resist!
