DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

This is what happens when you play with carpet knives Used one to remove some old shrink tubing.



Front calipers fitted



Trying to get the details correct



New wires and wire guides for the heating



Assembled the rear decklid grill, enjoying the look!




Im off to Florence for vacation on Thursday, won´t have any time to work before I leave. Hoping to return full of energy and spring feeling, we are beeing treated with snow and -10 degrees here in Stockholm at the moment.

Looking great Jesse - enjoy your well-earned break !

All looking very nice - except your finger!

Had a terrific vacation in Florence! VIlla San Michele offered a beautiful garden and a killer view, we went there for drinks since the rooms were out of my budget at the moment.

Some pics




Also did some car and motorcycle spotting, here´s somethig that caught my eye.



Hurried to the garage tonight, washed and test mounted the wheels. Deep sixes with Vredestein Sprint Classics, 165 HR15.



Test mounted

Coming on a treat Jesse. Looks really great but I think the matching car creeper is a bit OTT
Good holiday but glad to be back eh?

Ian

Huge work man
Just a big source of inspiration !

Thanks guy´s, I am so motivated to drive it, need to get it sorted ASAP.

Haha, Ian - not on purpose!

Some more progress



Rear shocks installed, also had to disaeesmble the left side hand brake shoes etc. since one of the springs had lost it´s tension..

Nice!!!

What a great colour. Looking very nice.

Kind regards.

Managed to work a litle on the engine/gearbox today, mostly cleaning it up.

I have been running a Weber adapter kit on it, does anyone know where I can get Weber-intakes? I will put the original Solexes on as soon as I have had them reconditioned but would like to do some testing.

Let there be light and down on it´s wheels!
Our garage is having some mods this weekend so I wont be able to work on the car

Will do some "to do lists" and other stuff that will help me in the future!

Workingf late nights!

I dismantled the cyl 3&4 head for overhaul, didn´t look to bad. (The valve stem seal´s had come off though!)I´ve lapped the valves and set correct height on exhaust/intake valves. Will lap the cyl to the head and then I am hopefully ready for reassembly.





I´ve mounted the pass. side door frame with new felt seals (seams like you have to use some backing under the felt seals in some places in order to have a good window fit, anyone familiar with this?

Also installed door handles on both doors but the seals I had bought were inocorrect (68-) I reconditioned the rear, round ones and put new, incorrect ones on the smaller front ones for now.. Also dismantled the door handles and locks, washed and packed them with fresh grease.





I bring to you the God mother of all seals, I spent 1h 45m with this guy tonight! My hands are hurting really, really bad! I used soap, air, everything could think of but it just didn´t want to slide smothly! What am I doing wrong?



Front fenders off for final prep before installation.






Still dreaming of driving it before the end of May.. .

Nice work Jesse, really coming together now.

Thanks Darren, managed to get some more done yesterday!

FItted the rear decklid Porsche-emblem and started fitting front wings.

Had a couple of hours garage time this evening

Have been looking for a nice dual MC setup for a while, didn´t find anything so I made up my own bracket and will use 2 original containers.



Installed an in&out sticker on the rear quarter window :D



Also mounted the steering assembly, wipers and turn signal switches now have that nice and tight feeling after some servicing.



Hoping to get some more stuff done this week.
