  • Recommendation for currentless dehumidifiers in the classic car / wintering in the hall

    Hello together, I wanted to hire my 123er at the farmer’s large dry hall until April. The car is dry there, but not warm. I don’t have electricity there. What do you think, should I put any dehumidifiers in the car until April? Do you have recommendations for this over the entire period of time? I can’t always get to the car. Thx and Greeting

  • to which vehicle are these rims?? Porsche, VW, Military??

    I’ve been on the AMI forum before, but when we browsed, we came across these rims. 13 inches and really old, but which vehicle do they belong to? Because they look a little unusual, they might be interesting for someone and too bad to throw away. Previous hints: an old Porsche was once in the fleet, but also a beetle. The profile is quite rough, maybe also a VW Military? For hints I am grateful if someone has a purchase interest, then also report.

  • What do you think of the chic E9?

    Unfortunately I couldn’t choose the E9. What do you say ? For me the Sharknose is one of the most beautiful BMWs and one of the most beautiful classic cars ever. Just as CS and as a pure carburetor I find the Mega horny:https://youtu.be/31itDV4n1Yw Check it out and say your opinion LG

  • Do you need to report a Classic Data review to the insurance company immediately?

    Hello Oldi–Fans, I had my Oltimer evaluated by a Classic Data reviewer last week or is it still in work. It’s a short rating. Now I got in touch with my insurance company if they want/must have this rating. After all, the insurance doesn’t know at the moment about the condition or replacement value. In response I got the statement: “only in case of damage we need the rating…” I actually thought that the contributions increase if they know that the car has a five-digit value. What did you do?

  • Humidity, temperature, dew point… when does what rust?

    Since I know that there are a few resourceful physicists and chemists here (e.g. Kester/Rotherbach), I’m sure you can take me on for centuries I actually wanted to put an electric dehumidifier in the garage so that the beetle always has a nice dryness. The dehumidifier works like the AC in the car, so that air flows over a cooled area, whereby the humidity condenses. This works quite splendidly in warm air, but under 5 degrees (plus) is dead pants, because that doesn’t work any more. Unfortunately, my garage has almost outside temperature, i.e. the 5 degrees and less are normal in winter. Now, of course, you can heat the temperature to 10 degrees and then run the dehumidifier at the same time. Cost a little bit at today’s electricity prices Has one better idea how to do it? Or is for example 2 degrees at 80% humidity not so bad for rusting, because at the temperature is rather small despite 80% of the amount of water in the air. 10,5 grams of water at only 13 degrees of humidity?
