DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Nice work, great attention to detail.

Thanks!
Started making parts for boxing in the heaterchannels yesterday..

Getting the parts ready for welding.

Awsome work its gonna be hard to tell from the real deal r u gonna hide the hand brake aswell ?

I have some plans for the hand brake too...

Now the lefthandside hingemounts are done and ready to be welded to the doorpost. Got to make the righthandside today.

Hingemounts welded to the A-pillar now on both sides.






Opened doors look pretty symmetrical from the rear in this view...

BTW. Here's how I prepared the hinge mounts so the threaded pieced dont fall out when hinges are removed. Just like in in VW's originally.. Still allows some adjustment instead of treads directly into the mounts..

Finally my handbrake arrived!!!

As the handbrake was a Prototype and not a finished product I started working on some drillingpatterns...



Also had to mock up the inner doorskins as previous builder had for some reason cut and started to shorten them about 2cm as he thought they would not fit the body.. Now I'm adding the same amount back onto them....



Also started to figure out how to mount the door locks and latches...




(yes, the locks will be mounted upside down...)

I though I recognised you pictures! I sent you some pics of my inverted locks!

Yes, thanks! :D

Tested to modify a Baywindow wipermechanism a few days ago.

Vidclip of modified wipers..

Very cool are you planning to have mirror sweep, both out coming inwards? Mine are just simple left and right

Yes. The wipers must work the right way as on original bentwindows..
Like this.
