Re: Burnt Pig - 356 Pre a Build Thread

Hi James,
If you are on WhattsApp drop me a message on 07885 492751 as don't seem to be able to private message you on DDK for some reason... can chat on WhattsApp as easier to do rather than chat in the thread.
Cheers
Rob

Re: Burnt Pig - 356 Pre a Build Thread

Hi James, The front door windows and the screen need to be E marked, it is debatable if the rear quarter windows need to be marked or not (one of the many vagaries of the IVA documentation), but for the few quid extra I would get them done anyway as it is easy to do on the flat glass; the rear scree...

Re: Burnt Pig - 356 Pre a Build Thread

I got my screen through MDMAX on DDK who I believe got it from Pilkington classic glass. The Pre A screen is more difficult to find than the regular 356 A screen. You are right to search out all the difficult-to-find bits first as they can take a while to find. The side windows were made by SGI glas...

Re: Convertible D Replica

There was a guy building a convertible D replica based on a Speedster Clinic Speedster body that he fitted a genuine convertible D windscreen too and modified the scuttle to fit. If you follow the link then you will find a great build thread that gives all the details. There are also a few old conve...

Re: House of Karmann

Hi Greg, Must have been living under a stone as I knew about your Speedster and 356 build but had missed this build completely. Just done an end to end thread read and it's some project this one... I have a turboed type 1 Oval beetle EFI that has taken me a long while to get right, so if I can help ...

Re: Rear seats

Yep they do fold down... here's some more pictures but only one with them folded down. Was a few years ago that I fitted them, and remember having to bend and modify the metal structure that fits to my home made bracket. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240104/21368d1e7a00ac675c36dee2fba12706.jpg ...

Re: Westerham Brewery - Legends Drivers Club

Yep I've been before, quite a friendly bunch, there is an area reserved for Porsche parking, but another area for other cars. They are OK with replicas too as a mate has taken his 356 replica along. Don't have to book, just turn up, but they normally have some kind of food truck, Biriani Boy & P...

Re: VDO quartz clock - 1974 onwards

Is this a 60mm clock as I have a new old stock VDO one that looks very similar that I bought for a project, but needed a 52mm one
