DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

A number of invisible repair companies have their own paint matching analysis guns and will paint it on the drive. They won’t warranty anything where rust has taken hold in my experience, but you can treat that first and leave them to blend in

Here is a pic of my Tiptronic aircon condensers- they match the rad size and are pretty big (sorry bumper on and car finished so can’t measure) but would say prob 12-14” square. However, agree two smaller ones could work in the confines of your arches https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240111/955479...

Is there room next to the gearbox? It gets quite a lot of air, can be easily ducted and easier to plumb the pipework. I ran an oil cooler next to my albeit smaller 902 box in the 914/6 and it worked well

I wish Graham! That said, I was recently tempted by a space framed imp with a fibreglass body….

The DFVW was all steel - but still a race car wearing a saloon body.

Forgot yours had the Ghia body - mid/remembered the Skoda detail

The DFVW - a concept not dissimilar to Graham’s Lola when it ran the Skoda Rapide body. This was evidently built on to the chassis of Alain de Cadenet’s ex Le Mans Duckham Special. Love it https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240109/48dfceafb13a3b25d79151e3f627e452.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right hand drive too - a rare thing. Would give a useful body part for a razor edge like that. After a month of illness spent a rare few hours in the garage- a bit of planning and measuring for a secret race car project, and replaced the throttle cable on the Tiptronic.

I can’t remember where you are Greg but I run 4 sets of staggered 17s (all twists) in my race car so have wheels available to take and test fit if it helps. Am in Notts.

Looking forward to seeing this come together - it’s going to be awesome

Cheers

I am in East Notts if it helps. Happy for you to borrow mine as long as it’s not for too long - pre season checks can spring surprises! PM me if it helps, cheers, Wayne

The pistons will push in really easily with the pressure released from the system. I put a tiny smear of grease on the pins just to stop them season and to help the pads release - just the tiniest smear. I also use brembo anti squeal grease in the back face of the pads. It is worth investing in a po...
