DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Adam - great to see another coupe coming together. I’ve been building my 356a rep for nearly 2 years. Progress is VERY slow - I’m a complete amateur and have so far been working on it alone, but I’m having the same thoughts and considerations as you re. IVA. I have a simple question I’d value opini...

Looking good so far. I’ve seen this car at Gary’s. Is this Adam’s Car? Nice to see another build thread being generated.

New replacement header has arrived. Upgraded to the racing style. Only difference from the my old unit is it has removable stub pipes. This will make fitting and removing so much easier and also help getting a good seal. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w181/mdmax72/engine/BB550DE8-9C47-408B-9FD8-...

Anyway it’s come back. Only problem is I’m miss...

Bit of a bugger that Greg, bright side this one looks to be in better condition than the last. Fingers crossed for ya.

Was you other engine toast then Greg?

What size are they?

Still 15” Greg. Only main difference is the weight over ther Steels.

Hi all. I’m in a dilemma. Just had my Michelin XAS tyres swapped over from Steel wheels to aluminium wheels. The aluminium wheels have the necessary rib on them to use tubeless tyres. Now my steel wheels didn’t have the rib on them, so l used inner-tubes to help the tyre stay on the bead. So with th...
