DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I'm very pleased with the colour selection.
It's a difficult shade to portray correctly on screen but - in the flesh - it does look superb.

So now, everything I've cleaned/restored/repainted/purchased new can be bolted back onto the freshly painted shell.

Taking us from this:

love the colour

A few more shots of the reassembly commencing:

Looking good Paul! Are we in real time yet or are you still catching up with previous work/picture posting?

Paul, did you blast all the shell back to bare metal or just specific areas?

Great thread Paul.

This stage reminds me that when I bought my remarkably cheap second hand 93MY 993 from a well known supplier, it was (surprise surprise) plagued with bizarre electrical gremlins (and a lot more besides). I tried in vain for the indie sector to cure it, but it defeated everyone. Complete lemon. In frustration I tried the local Porsche centre - who told me (oh joy) there was a recall for the whole loom to be replaced!

Porsche secrecy. At the time no one in the indie sector knew about it.

I presume you have a new loom!!

Loved my 993. When it was running properly it was a great car. Only sold it as it was a tip version. Then the market exploded.

Really looking forward to seeing your finished car.

You made the right choice between the different blues Paul

Any corrosion was targeted and the whole exterior was taken back to bare metal.
