DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

...Of my windscreen wipers that is. Whilst testing after installation I noticed one side was seized so after blasting with penetrating oil and torching the one side it came apart. Its quite simple -remove the 'C' clip and the inner part slides out allowing you to pack with copper grease.
Oh and I reversed the parking position so the wipers now rest in the passengers view.

...car is starting to come along....

The car is looking fabulous James, love the colour

Thanks Darren, still plenty to do. my plan is to work front to back...so windscreen wipers must be a quarter of the way? (yeah right)
Colour is L32K pheonix red which i think is closer to blutorange than L21E tangerine.

L32K yep that's the same as Paul's at Stanford today definately closer to blutorange like you say. Sorry didn't get to chat, hopefully catch up with you soon buddy.

Darren -got a nice shot of yours. Looks very purty with the 'Fukes' on.


Some other gems there too...

Some other stuff:-
Gotta love that Schwimm...





And the Kübel's

Cheers for that picture James, i only got a few, plus i'm rubbish at taking them. Have to say i'm really pleased with the 'fukes' . and to think they were to go on the 911 at first, i tried them but the polished rim and paddles didnt really work that well with the red, but i think against the black the 914 definately deserved them.

Yeah I loved that schwimm as well, there were a few watercooled that caught my eye, the the Mk1 Scirocco Storm, and the Black Mk1 Golf Gti in the concours area, loved 'em both
