Category: Oldtimer Forum

Hey first of all. I’m completely new here and I have a very delicate question ;-). I’d like to buy an oldtimer convertible in Germany and restore it. I don’t want to be a complete restoration, but for the car that’s solid from the basic material. Now I wanted to ask a few experienced screwdrivers what kind of screwdrivers are you looking for? a car guy would come into question for me?

First of all: Hello everyone ! I have been dreaming for a long time about my own VW bug. The waiting should have an end ^^. When I looked around a little bit the other day I came to this sweet here Will you ! and fell in love immediately. Before I hit it I want to make sure nevertheless that I am not ripped off here. Also future costs would be quite interesting, since so far I have only driven with the car of my mother and that of my ex-boyfriend -> means a so nice if I could post some information from my own experiences ! Thanks already ina

No lubrication in the cylinder head after ZDK exchange. Is an Opel Record C Ez. 1968, 1.9 Ltr. 90 HP. The ZK seal has now been replaced for the third time, there is simply no oil pressure on the camshaft (hydrostösseln). The head has been overhauled by an Opel operation, professionally mounted and basic set up by a free workshop. All oil holes to the head have been checked? Where is the fault?

Hello ! I hope someone here has already had the same experiences as me and maybe can give me a few tips. Yesterday I was at the TÜV for full acceptance with my Jaguar MK2 340 year 68. 10 years I worked on it, the whole vehicle disassembled, was restored just my big dream. Now everything is perfect (I thought) so from the TÜV. Technically everything was fine, even in the original condition, but I don’t get the H-mark,because the car shortly after the 1st Zu I also got it from England and I only got the papers saying that the day of the registration was in 89 when it came back to the country. At the TÜV I was told that the Jag would now be classified as an 89 year of construction and I needed a cat for an approval without an H-mark My Jag is one of the last of his series and no one thought of Kat 68 yet… So I can get him It’s not even normal to register because it’s not possible to work up the list of defects, since most of it wasn’t invented at all. It’s all about that for an H-mark from the day of the 1st registration until today 30 years have passed, because I can’t prove it, my dream is now a pile of junk! I can only put my car in the garage and look at who has similar experiences or knows advice for me? h here someone could teach where the meaning lies in these regulations. Thank you & greetings…Leslie

Hello everyone! I’m here from the beautiful Switzerland. I’d like to get a second car. I want to combine two wishes with this one. I’d like to learn how to screw on cars (have a little idea but never put my own hand) and get a Sunday car. One must be: – Petrol switch – Hand switch – Enough spare parts – Simpler to screw (don’t shy away from some challenge, but should be feasible at home in the garage) – Price up to 10’000 Euro/CHF Would be nice: Youngtimer/something classic and fun driving (e.g. a tour through the Alps over mountain passes) I am looking for recommendations, especially from the point of view of screwdrivers and people with experience. I would be very grateful.

Hello, my dad left me a Bugatti replica. I’m certainly not a big screwdriver, but I just tried to get this thing to run today. Fuel with add-on, spark plugs checked, bridged … He also cranked quite well, but didn’t jump on. Then I found out that somewhere on the left carburetor was really drinking gasoline. It also lasted a while until it stopped. However, the petrol line was dry until the connection to the carburetor. Right Because of the narrowness I could not correctly determine the exact location of the petrol exit. Is there a typical car explanation for this? I would like to keep the car, because it has a high memory value for me. Nevertheless I can not put in large sums or a lot of talent. For a tip I would therefore be very DANKBAR!!! VG

Hello, I know, old hat…. So at least a thousand times already asked and answered. And there is already the problem, 1000 questions – 1000 answers… Besides some already >10 years old and many products are already out of environmental protection already not easy. The following starting position: We have a about 50 year old tent trailer and the stood, health-related, many years in our old screw hall in the corner, this year we want to get rid of it again, unfortunately the box from outside completely covered with small rust pimples. I have now made one of the surfaces with CSD disc and afterwards with an exenter grinder blank, but there are still very small rust nests over. My first thought and because still what was there was Fertan, today I washed it off again and already after easy grinding came new rust under the phosphate layer to the appearance. So nothing. This is not to be a top restoration now, just so that you can trust yourself with it among people kan n and it doesn’t start to gammel again. Completely grind down and radiate away, because it is only very thin sheet metal, think so in the range 0.5mm. Does anyone have experiences like I should attack there best? Acid? The whole should also remain financially within the appropriate framework, has finished also only a value of a few hundred euros. I still take pictures. Greetings, Marc

Okay, where do I start… Please be friendly I don’t know about cars. As a student who has a very long way to university I think slowly that it’s time for a car. But I have incredibly fallen in love with the Porsche 944 but also cars like Nissan 200sx. I think I like the fliplights above all and simply the shape both are very similar already. By the way, I find very few offers to Nissan can tell me something? Both are oldtimers and I have Here and there automatics and classic cars are not good… I would prefer an automatics. My second question would be, is a classic car even recommended as a first car? What about safety measures? Airbag, Navi etc. ? I have always driven our family car a Hyundai i30 switch if it is important. Would be very grateful for people who know each other thank you!

Jaguar produces the D-Type: http://www.sueddeutsche.de/…/…ml-dpa-com-20090101-160323-99-327742 Aston Martin does similar things: http://www.auto-news.de/…/…ation-reprint-of-a-legend_id_39441 (unfortunately only for the race track) Why is something similar not done more often? If Mercedes would re-build the 300 SL, for example – they could ask for any price, so it shouldn’t fail, right? One more step: couldn’t one take legendary bodies? n and build the rest as a modern car with all the amenities of today? Corvette C3, E-Type… Sure, you would have to change a lot for passenger and pedestrian protection, for example. But the hood of the E-Type looks pretty pedestrian friendly, for example? But there would be no hurdles that would not regulate money, wouldn’t there? Wouldn’t it be nice to see these “eye-catchers” more often?
