Yep. Found it.First page:Caution: drain tank, slosh soapy water in it, rinse, repeat, etc. Usual weld-on-gas-tank prep.1. Using a hole saw, cut a 2-inch diameter hole in the raised, flat corner of the fuel tank diagonally opposite from the original filler neck. Save the two-inch metal cutout.2. Saw “cap end” of filler neck previously salvaged…[Read more]

Van, I have the instruction book somewhere. Sit tight and I’ll dig it out in the next day or two. By memory I say the tank is from the donor, so should be a ’69 or above. But the filler neck was supposed to be moved from one corner to the one diagonally across because of the way the tank sits. So a bit of cutting and welding is in order.Your hood…[Read more]

Dan – what type of wire wheel baskets do you have, and how many?

Don , great looking TD, If you are looking for wire wheel baskets let me know  Dan

 Hi Van, Welcome to the forum.That’s a good looking BCW. The BCW’s are quality cars and use many authentic trim parts and have better than average fiberglass. To get one with very low miles on the clock is very special. The VW based BCW’s do not have an external gas filler .You simply open the hood and the tank and filler cap is in plain view.…[Read more]

Welcome aboard.  We love to help new owners.  Your TDr looks and sounds like the one that a buddy of mine was bidding on through eBay 3 or so weeks ago.  If so, my buddy wimped out and you got a nice car at a good buy.  I know that there are a lot of BRG fans, but you gotta love the Red TD’s.

I’ve put about 35  miles on my (Ford) MGTD and am very pleased, so far. with the ride and handling provided by the new 275 lb front coils and new shocks. I don’t have a good basis for comparison because the car is new and I haven’t driven any other similar cars.

Congratulations Greg! Hope you have many more years together.

That’s a large number. Be proud of it. Congratulations !

Happy anniversary Greg.

Way to go , and I hope you get a nother 40++ years.

If he had taken my advice and just disconnected the fuel line from the filter he would have found out the same thing without removing the tank – a whole lot easier I think.Or, what he probably did, is just remove the cap on the filler neck and look inside.mrlmd2012-07-10 15:24:23
