DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Just read through the entire tread, proper bodge job that and not what one would expect from a reputable shop. Easy to say afterwards but as some has already pointed out, the pipe(s) really have to be replaced. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Mechanically the car feels pretty good, it’s long time since I last drove it but I imagine it feels stiffer with its new structure welded in. Still a few cos...

I've got those stainless ones on mine since a few years, quality and fit seemed fine but perhaps not the right product for the 100% original resto project.

Painted the original silencer in zink primer and fitted it, also repositioned the rear bumper trims whilst I were at it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210330/020ea7b99b58cd219695581c26b4b5da.jpg Then replaced the fabric braided fuel lines in the engine bay with standard non braided items for pe...
