DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Nice one James

Can't wait to see it once you put the new body-kit on it

Looking forward to seeing it James!

The car has been in storage all year while I collected parts and spent hours looking at pics of GTs, dreaming and saving.

However with it due to go to Wales for its transformation next month - I could not resist the temptation to take it out this weekend in the December sunshine.




A tad smug, I grant you:




But as you can see, it was not just me feeling quite pleased

Drive it up to Llanidloes - I can recommend the B4518!

almost seems a shame to cut it up when it looks so god as it is

Ditto!

Thanks guys, it is certainly a good one, and I have been umm-ing and ahh-ing all year over whether to keep it narrow.

It's always best to start with the best base you can get, hopefully means as few surprises as possible down the line.

So I'm taking the plunge. It will be great when it's finished!

Not another Light Ivory 3.0 GT Rep

Looks a good car, and great you have it from storage, but the number plate is s**t.

Good job you cant make out the plate on my Audi in the b/ground of that last shot then

His and hers!

What is the plan for the body, and who have you got to do it? I'm still having things done to mine, can't wait for Redtek to finish rebuilding the motor !

Body wise:
GT arches on (steel).
GT GRP bumpers front and rear.
Front mounted oil cooler will go in, so front slam panel cut for airflow and louvred panel in front trunk flow.
We are retaining the steel rocker covers and fabricating flared steel ends for them, for a superior fit to GRP rocker covers.
The engine ic urrently on a quick six mount, and we'll replace with a maddogs weld in mount.
New paint all over.

All that work is being done by a race and rally prep shop in Newtown. Project managed by a friend who lives very local.

This looks ace as it is, but will also look ace with arches! Hopefully you will post some updates.

My guess James, it's going to look very much like this example once finished.
