DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Mike Thanks so much for all that detail. I knew it had to be out there somewhere. I'll print it out today and we'll compare with the other information we have. I think we came to the same conclusion about the front, and it was the rear I was most concerned about. Just one more question, if I may. Th...

Many thanks for the help James. I might have another go just to see if it works. For next time.

Cheers

Noticed the instructions on posting - trying now. Please advise if they come through. Still a work in progress. Mechanicals and exterior pretty well finished, interior and wheels to be done over winter. Stock except for a lightweight flywheel and strut brace and wider wheels than original (195s inst...

Happy to post some pics, but a bit of a dinosaur with the computer. Can someone please tell me how and I'll put them up

G'day Bert - Thanks for the compliments. She is lovely, and will be even more so by about this time next year. Still fair way to go, but I wanted to get her running to enjoy the end of this summer and now autumn in Hokkaido. By the end of November, we'll be under snow and she will hibernate till nex...

Thanks Helen. Glad the pix opened. Obviously two Porsches are a recipe for disaster in a place where we get a cumulative snowfall over winter of about 15 metres, so in the garage behind I have two AWD vehicles that transport us magically to the ski house in Niseko with a minimum of fuss - the red on...

Yes, yes, yes !! At last !! That is EXACTLY the finish I'm looking for. Wow, this is the sort of breakthrough I was looking for. Thanks very much. Sorry if that sounds a bit over the top, but I live in one of the remotest and most inaccessible parts of rural Japan, and stores of knowledge about esot...

Thanks Helen. I'll have a look at the Bootsie instructions tomorrow (it is now 1 a.m. here and I am fading fast under the relentless influence of several OP rum and cokes. But would be interested to know if the following URL will open for you. http://home.att.ne.jp/red/greg/sisters/ Not sure if you ...

Jamie - Great car. Love the color !!! As soon as I work out how to post pix I'll show you my new '67 911S Targa in exactly that color. Had to laugh about the carbs. Getting two banks of triple choke Webers to all sing from the same songsheet is a nightmare I am living daily !!

Cheers
Greg

Thanks Bootsie - Anodising is probably the term I've been looking for. In the case of the '67 wheels, the black was limited to a very small V around the bolts, and the rest was all "silvery" but I still haven't found out exactly what the finish was. In any case, I really prefer that matte ...

Thanks Helen - I'll give the sticker a soaking in the morning. I had decided it was really the only one I could use on the car itself because of its size. Not sure it doesn't clash with the tangerine but . . . . So you have a Tangerine one too. Fantastic. Everyone here tells me I'm insane to paint i...

Very, very nice. I particularly like the wheels. Over the long winter in Hokkaido, where I live, I want to get my wheels refurbed like that. What is the instruction regarding the finish? Currently the raised spokes are chrome, and the "webbing" in between is really grotty where I have remo...

G'day Brendan - good to be aboard. I might be able to round up a couple of other members. I am having a sort of formal unveiling of the new car over this weekend. One of the cars coming (from Sapporo) is a 1970 911T Sporto, and he has a mate who I have just heard about with a 1973 911S Coupe. That's...

Yes thanks very much. The pack arrived last weekend. Love the decals, but at a bit of a loss to know where you put them on a soft rear window Targa !! Not all that much visible glass. Mighlt look good on the white lid of my Mac ?? A bit intrigued by the small green one - it won't peel off its backin...

Hi All This is my first post. I am a geriatric Australian with a long history of Porsche insanity. My first, a long, long, long time ago, was a 1956 356A Speedster (with a very long story I'll be happy to tell some time in future). Currently my daily driver is an RHD 1991 C2 Coupe, and I have just a...
