DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Been lurking for a while now, but joined up fully so thought I would say hello to everyone, my name is Mark, and tomorrow I am off to Glasgow to collect a 1972 911 minus it's engine and box, so will be on here looking for help and advice, regards mark..

Hello and welcome Mark. Looking forward to seeing some pics of new project. Are you looking for a contemporary engine to match, or looking to fit something mote powerful?
Ian

Welcome along.

Is it the red turbo look car you have bought?

Cheers
Jon

Welcome Mark, I hope you enjoy the forum and find it useful

Yes it is the red look a like turbo car, but want to return it to a long hood, unsure on engine choice, will be asking lots of questions re engine and gbox as the project unfolds........also thanks for the welcome......Mark..

Welcome to the forum Mark. Looking forward to some pics.

sounds like a great road-trip! have fun and take pictures

Car now at home, really good road trip, roads surprisingly quiet set off at 6am back and unloaded by 1330hrs, will learn how to do pics and get posting some soon, not in love with the width of the rear turbo arches will have to look at some st or similar types, what do you guys think.......Mark..

Heres the pictures from the advert until youget some of your own up.

Good luck with the project and keep us updated.

Yeah it looks good there but the wheels have gone and the v8 that was in the back of it, it now stands on a miss mash of thin steel wheels and minus the engine it looks like a drag car about a foot of air between the rear wheel and arch."...........Mark..

Welcome to DDK Mark

Nice buy if I remember the shell price correctly. Glad you got it back safe and well. Came from the Western Isles right?
Can't remember from the ad but are those arches, front and rear, metal or not?
What was the original colour? (code number tag inside the left A post)
Good luck and I think you will get all the help you need here. Depends what you want but I imagine you will get a suitable engine and box here too if you put up an ad.
All the best

Regards
Mike

So is this an early car that was "forward dated"?

welcome to DDK Mark.

Barrow & the lakes seems to becoming bit of a hot spot for early 911's

Yes it is an early car forward dated, the frt wings are f/g as are the rear arches, I have found what I think is the original colour around frt suspension mountings a dark / chocolate brown, will look for the paint tag today"..........Mark..

Hot 66, James, I know what you mean looking at people's locations south Cumbria seams to be very popular for early 911. I have had an exchange of pm's with johnm who is just a mile or so away from me and invited him to come and have a look and advise me,......Mark..
