DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I hate these kind of photos, some people just make it all look like a piece of p*ss when we all know it isn't.

Looking good already Jon

So onto the rear arches, I had originally planned to leave the factory turbo rear wings alone but in the end decided I would regret it so I emptied the kids savings accounts and purchased a pair of RSR arches.

First the lower wing needed a repair section





and then clamp on the arch to get the position



and fix in place a little more thoroughly



Before going any further I needed to trial fit the rear bumper, that meant cutting off the Impact Bumper mounts

A few Kgs saved here...



And on with the RSR bumper



But the alignment was not as I had hoped



And with the other side disintegrated I couldn't use it as a data point

So a few hours of mocking up and measuring followed before I settled on a new position for the arch.



Followed by tack welding





And then the finished job







So that's three arches done, one to go...

Lovely stuff! Keep the pictures coming.

I do love a fat arse!

I regret my lack of talent now. Keep it up!

Nice

loving this build,great work,can I ask where you got your steel rsr rear flares
look forward to seeing more on this car

Snatched a bit of time over the weekend to do a bit more metal work on my project, this time fitting a front mount oil cooler.



It sits very close to the front panel when mounted and this would stop any air flow through it so an opening needs to be made in the front panel and the air ducted out underneath the car.



Trial fit of cooler and bumper



Ducting made up





And welded into place





Bit of primer to protect it for now.



Another job ticked off the list



Cheers
Jon

Looking good Jon…albeit you're a bit slow!

Any particular car serving as the inspiration or is this purely your own thing?

Cheers,

Tough crowd!

Mods looking good

Too many pesky customer cars in the way!

Not trying to recreate a particular car, just wanted a wide arch long hood with the go to match the show...

Looking good Jon, I'm well overdue a trip down to visit your workshop
