The last bumper I purchased was from Moss. Strangly enough it was several inches shorter than the one provided from Fiberfab. It actually looked better.

The VIN is under the seat. VIN plate is rivited to the tunnel

I’ve searched for my vin no. and i cant  locate it. It should be on your title.I’m assuming you need it to register it at the dmv TODAY THE BIG DAY.

Look on the top of the tunnel under the seat.  Right on top, may be under some carpeting.  

Someone asked about a model TD at one point. Here’s a 1:16 scale unbuilt plastic model TD for sale on eBay if anyone is interested. I have one like this in a case I finished over the winter and paid moe for it.

Could be a short in your ignition switch, eh? Or something simpler still–a wire got crossed? Couple coming up that are similar color and/or thickness?Should not be too hard to find with the trusty test light.

I agree with Ed.  It sure sounds like a deal.  Never owned one, but have spent a lot of time around them.  YA’s are neat in a MG sort of way and the XPAG (which was also used on the TF) engine can be found.  Parts are readily available through Moss and others.  But, even though a YA ain’t no Bentley, if I had one, my MiGi would likely have to take…[Read more]

Jump on that! YAs are sought after & the correct engine for it is an xpag–same as a TD or TC

Ooops!   Didn’t mean in any way that our TDs aren’t real. Probably should have said “original”. Going to call the owner today and ask. Just curious. But I think you’re right…an original TC with a big ford motor dropped in. If an original 48 TC his asking price is quite low. I saw a disassembled 52 last year at a swap meet and they were asking $25K.

Allen,

Real or Kit Car? Really? Kit Cars ARE real man!

FYI

Thanks again for the welcome, advice, and words of enthusiasm.

John, I’ve been watching this thread with interest.  I am not sure that I could fit behind the wheel of my MiGi with your new wheel, but I would like to.  My wheel is the standard flat 13-1/2″ OD wooden grip wheel that seemed to be standard on many/most of the TDr’s.  I assume that when you say 15-1/2″ you are talking OD – yes??  Also, it app…[Read more]

I second Ed’s request.I took a look at the recommended Flat 4 hub, that would definitely put the wheel too close to my chest.

Welcome aboard, Chip! That’s a sweet looking ride and it’s a real bonus that you have a VW guru for a friend.Also great to hear she was driven. That should make the sorting out and maintenance much easier than if she was sitting.Have fun, and keep in touch.BTW, where abouts in RI are ya? Many moons ago I lived in Newport & worked for the ProJo.
