DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I assume that they do race the car though.
You could always repaint/repair it if it needed it!

yep very hard
it has a dry sump engine.. from Autocraft about $20,000 worth!!

Looks like they like to play hard and spend hard!

And now we have to repeat the whole process on the other side of the car of course! I learn't a lesson from doing the passenger side and bought a good door rather than spending weeks sorting out the original one (never again!).

The sill of course was just a touch rusty!


And so was the B post.


So we welded a new B post in, but what to?


Had to do one or two repairs as well.


I keep saying to myself that the welding will be finished soon, just another week or so.........

Sorry it has taken me so long to give an update on the restoration. I have been distracted by impending house moves and other cars!

Some more pictures of rust!
Front wheel arch needed some attention.





As did the rear wheel arch of course.



But some parts are now well on their way.







And the dashboard is looking pretty cool.

lovely !
Keep posting pics

Last bit of welding. Thank God!

Before:



And after:



At last a bit of primer.

Well, the painting is finished and has been polished and I think I'm in love.













Will be putting on the panels next week, and then the interior.

Forgot to say that I can't get over how straight the panels are compared to before. It's a miracle!

Niiiiiiiiiice!

Loving it

Nice work

Thanks Guys.
Will post more photos when the panels are back on the car.

After 283 days and several barrow loads of cash spent my coupe emerged from the workshop last night with it's panels all on. Oh my God!









Now all I have to do is put it back together......when I have a garage to work in.

It looks bloody georgeous

The best bit is putting all the shiney bits back on !

Not long to go now then


Then you can start on the next one !


All the best
