DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Thought i'd split my restoration in 2 as the first thread had so many pics it took ages to load to the latest post on the previous thread...:roll: Anyways, following on from getting the car filled, moved onto one more full coat of POR15 to encapsulate the whole car and protect from future rust. Then...

On this topic... has anyone tried the GSF master cylinder? Same part number is listed for both 914/6 and 911. (£105)
I was thinking of changing mine for this one, having just taken out a very grotty looking ate part (original?).

Mine for the day...as of this morning... all primed now, in and out.

Update for my last few days activities... Primed the inside. Filled the outside. Removed the front suspension for cleaning and restoration. Also fashioned a rig to paint the underside of the car.... its quite stange having a 914 floating in mid air in the garage... :shock: We can get the car pretty ...

Update. Back on wheels of some description (9" 914 steels banded by my dad about 23 years ago... still hold air!!) Underside is now primed, going to add wurth underseal to the centre section of the floor then prime and paint. Wheel arches are just a prime and paint. Have been working on the coc...

Geeky or not i spent yesterday looking at exactly this! I found that 7" wide will fit under the arches, bit of rolling might be needed on the back but a few may get lucky and it wont rub. 205/50/15 seem popular too. take a look on 914world.com, i cant remember exactly what i searched, thinnk it...

the car is 190Kg's
2007 CBR600 Engine
Super close ratio box
0-80 was 4.18 sec this year (damp)
last year 3.81 sec

Can bit a bit scary in the corners!

I am sure i am one of many who wishes they were able to get to Classic LeMans this year.... but my weekend was filled with racing of a different scale... Formula Student 2008, Silverstone! As a 3rd year (well 4th after placement) i was invloved in a Class 3 entry where we were trying to improve on l...

First couple of pics of the rustproof coat. Came out pretty nice, is as hard a glass though... will take a while to flat it back for primer... I will be very happy if the colour comes out this shiny and smooth from the gun! Just finished the passenger side wheel wells, pics to follow. drivers side a...

Quick update before i carry on... Shell back to bare metal, first coat of POR15. Both boot spaces and interior to do... then i can get on with the colour! (after much primer, sanding, flatting...) Whoo!! http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll71/pillay2k/SNV30750.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/albums...

I thought i had a lot of work to do on mine!! Fair play to you, looks like you are really going to bring one back from the dead. I'm so glad i was not the only one to find a hose clip holding the clutch tube in place... mine was secured through the floor... then rtv'ed in place.... nice. Bashed a 1&...

Whoop whoop!! Finally getting somewhere... After much scraping of underseal, welding of holes and fabricating of panels/ patches i have a solid base to the car! Cant wait to get the wheel wells done and the car back on the ground and get the bodywork done. Still got primer, underseal and body colour...

As a side note: I would hope to get in the region of £40-£50 for each shirt, which is comparable to a plain Hugo Boss 'Green' T-Shirt... I think that is very good considering these will not be found anywhere else and I will guarantee their authenticity. All money will go into our Formula Student tea...

Hello All, I have been given 14 Hugo Boss Mclaren T-Shirts and would like to offer them for sale in order to raise some funds for the University of Bath Formula Student Team. I originally contacted Hugo Boss for sponsorship but they could not commit but were able to offer the team some items to use ...

Car looks great... look forward to seeing it for real at a show sometime. Can't wait to get mine finished and back on the road!

What colour code is your car?
