Here is what he did with the front suspension. The London Roadster owners might learn get some useful info from these two videos:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHG46KlAWp4&list=UUcSeeATlWJJbXpOZRYOfaDg&index=196&feature=plcphttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjGISsm7Z4A&list=UUcSeeATlWJJbXpOZRYOfaDg&index=195&feature=plcp

apparently it works!

Nice video until he said he was going to make a “rat rod” out of it. Disappointed if he does.

it  would be fun  

Kinda made me want a bus.  

Awesome walk-through of the LR. Great study of the frame and suspension. 

Schu, I guess you decided not to come with us?  Bummer!  Super Bummer! We’ll miss you.  Hope you just got tied up and weren’t able to make reservations yet.  As of right now, we TD’ers have more cars than any other marque except the Porsches and they are the hosts.  (51 autos so far with 2 weeks to go)  

Ed – thx

 Roy  Thx for the info ..

OK, washed the car again today. Got off the dirt clods my neighbor’s lawn dudes splashed on it a few weeks back. Changed the oil: VR 1 Synthetic Valvoline 5W30, mostly, topped with a half quart of 10-30 high mileage stuff. The oil pressure’s the same–which is to say, good. Until I turn the headlights on. That drops it about 7 lbs across the…[Read more]

That’s correct Ed! Good eyes!

The MGs weren’t the only English cars made of wood – The Morgans were too, and still are, even the frames.

OK, that one’s a Tickford drophead coupe (the TB). Heavier, more luxury. Apparently the cowl wipers went to these, Saloons, etc. The normal roadster TB had ’em up top.
