And there was me thinking you guys were probably some of the best..... Actually I wasn't referring to DDK as I've only just started using it. Now that I am using the forum though and hoping to absorb as much prime information as I can, I need to be sure - Who are the real 911 anoraks (in a good way ...

Thanks for the support Jonathan, Things had stalled over the last few months and I wasn't sure how I wanted to proceed, it was then suggested I look at JohnM's restoration thread and this focused my attention - a few calls and emails later and I have a clear plan going forward. More of that later - ...

I recently finished a 2CV restoration and am currently restoring an AK400 (2CV van) - the Mehari is basically a 2CV with a different body. As such parts are plentiful and fairly reasonably priced. A Mehari would be a good project if you can find one at the right money and great fun too. Worth lookin...

1973 2.4E Restoration

Having found JohnM's excellent restoration thread such a source of inspiration and knowledge that has changed the route I'm taking I thought I would start my own. So here goes: After many months of searching for an early 911 project - Destiny! You would have had to be quick to get this one - Adverti...

WHO TO TRUST?

After several months of research pending my 911 restoration i've received a fair bit of conflicting information and advice. Being a DDK newbie the question is: Whose replies to posts should you really trust, who are the fountains of all knowledge, the genuine Oracles who REALLY know early 911s? Don'...

1973 2.4E Engine Lid

Hi I'm just about to start the body restoration of my 1973 F Series German registered LHD 2.4E and need to source various body panels. The Haynes Porsche Data Book compiled by Marc Bongers states that my vehicle was originally fitted with an aluminium engine lid the same as the S model. Others I've ...

Is a 400mm steering wheel correct for a German 1973 F Series E?

Thanks,

Thanks for the fix......I think! I was thinking something a tad simpler such as small box by 'Go to page...' where you can enter a number manually, even if there were several page numbers listed start and end rather than 3 you could jump in chunks. When using JohnMs (excellent) restoration thread as...

Thanks but this only seems to show the first and last three pages of a thread - how do you get to the middle of a thread with 158 pages quickly without having to scroll through?

New to DDK, great site, very user friendly, great topics and gradually finding my way around. Regarding future site development a suggestion maybe for those who knows those that do...... When going through some of the older threads that have multiple (multiple, multiple, multiple!) pages - it would ...
