DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Friday was a good day, firstly the car was loaded for an early morning trip to Cleaning Consultants in West Sussex for media blasting, these guys do a fantastic job and don't prime the car so you know exactly what you're dealing with once returned.....





....secondly, I received a very large, but very light, package from EB Motorsport.....



....full of beautifully made quality glass goodies ....

[

....and finally for reference purposes I was priviledged the opportunity to get close up and personal with a very, very special car.

Inspirational and then some

Cheers,

great to see some progress Darren.....

My money says it’s this one:

...ah, #9092 sporting it's new registration number and looking super mint; never seen it in the flesh, was that Prescott?

Lots of photos Feroz although nothing I can share and mostly boring reference shots of areas you don't get to see but invaluable to me

Are you doing all the reinforcements and trailing arms of the genuine ?

Cleaning Consultants blasted my car 20 years ago - I didn't know they were still around. Is it in the same ownership and still at Loxwood?

That was at Headingham at the weekend, just a random pic from Instagram

....yes still the same people Ralph, they did plan to wind things up and retire although that's now on the back burner....I've seen a number of shells media blasted but none as good as Cleaning Consultants

....thanks Gary, hope to see it up close one day

Cheers,

The cleaning process did indeed reveal I had a nice original unmolested car.....

...fortunately I wasn't around to reflect!....first removal of the underseal....



...followed by blasting....



....who's a lucky boy! .....









....obviously there's rust but nothing too severe and a tad of what I've encountered before.

Lucky indeed

....

....safely collected pending delivery to Barry in a week or two....



...albeit about 60kg lighter than when it started! .....



Cheers,
