Ed, that “compleat history” was terrific.  Thanks.  (I think compleat is more fitting than complete. Considering.)

This looks like a London Roadster with the VW pan ..

where is Holliston?. I see they  remove the faux trumpet horns

BTW who needs a top??  I am often asked if I even have a top coz  everyone always sees us driving around with the top down…

Thanks Ed ..Sally , Pudge and Olive(MG TDr) were very cooperative in the photo..All of the MG TDr photos are stellar .. love em  all and  beleive your steering wheel  inspired me with mine …..

OK, here’s a complete history. First 18 minutes or so are silent movie. Dig that paint shop! Not a mask anywhere.

Welcome Doug, i know you will enjoy this site ,good luck and fun with your build ,,,,Dan

Worth a look…but there’s a lot of work needed.You’ll likely disassemble this one completely. Hard to weld in new floor pans with flammable fiberglass sitting on top of the pan!Driver door panel looks ripped. Might mean you’ll end up redoing the interior too.But still…worth a look.

Welcome aboard Doug. You will find a lot of info on this forem.

I just hauled my unfinished kit 300 miles, but I opted for an enclosed trailer.  If this unfinished kit is anything like mine, it will most likely not withstand the buffeting of an open car hauler.

George,I have access to truck and auto trailer with winch (youngest son) It would be around 1200 miles round trip.Where the one Paul found in PA would be around 3500 round trip.

Welcome Doug.  Regarding gauges, last year at Carlisle, I spoke with Mike Kollar from VDO.  Nice guy 610-289-0488 ext 3017.  Most of our TDr gauges are VDO and they make a nice selection.  True, as Ed says they are smaller than TD gauges.  But they look pretty good.   The Chrome series with the red needles and black faces are quite popular as ar…[Read more]

I’d say that it is worth a look.  Whether it’s worth it really depends heavily on how much of the work you are going to do yourself.  Pictures are not so good.  I think that it needs a new front bumper also.  A top with side curtains: plan on $750-$1000.  My feeling is that you might do better but maybe not.  If you are looking, and you prefe…[Read more]

Welcome Doug

John, I think I like your pic the best. Thanks for sharing it.

Welcome to the club, Doug. That’s a great story about your father’s old assembly business.You can find a nice selection of appropriate gauges at egauges.com.If you want something a little different I can also recommend my way:Get a stock Beetle speedo and a 5″ tach from Classic Instruments or another maker. The TDs has larger gauges than most kit…[Read more]

Welcome aboard Doug. I purchased my 1st VW (a 76 Bus) from a friend in valpraiso. Drove the wheels off it for about 8 years and have stuck with vws ever since. I too have a CMC/Fiberfab unbuilt kit. You’ll have a blast building it. Like Larry mentioned, check the Download Manuals tab on the left. There are more than the CMC/FiberFab Assembly m…[Read more]
