Love the color. Every green one is called “British Racing Green,” and it’s true. Over the years there were many shades of BRG. But that–That’s the one I like best.

I enjoyed watching the video. Also watched many of the other MGTD videos that were posted there.
 
 

Have heat? And snowtires/chains? Does anybody have snows?

Sweet…she is a beauty….

have a safe trip, brother.

Thanks for the compliments. I have not tried putting the windshield down so I am not sure if it does. I drove the car from Indiana to West Virginia. I found out that the best way to not get so tense is to wear ear plugs while driving. It is amazing how much more relaxed I was after doing that.The very first day I had it, I parked on the street in…[Read more]

Carlisle is May 18, 19 and 20, with Saturday the 19th being the main day.

Classic Roadsters Duchess uses that approach for the fuel tank. It sits on the VW pan, passenger side. Allows for a full trunk, about 14 or 15 inches deep, essentially the length and width of the hood.

Thanks Joe!

Sounds good Roy. I drove it home to Indiana from Orlando Florida, so your place is real close. It all depends when it happens. Keep us posted.

When is the Carlisle Show? I have a set of 4 Chrome and Gold Custom wheels I had left from a Drag car I had back in the 70’s, they made fun of the VW till they raced it on the 1/8 mile strip. Then they would not let me come back. It is a matter of what you like on a replicar, they are not MG’s or Porsche. I have a friend with a Design Classics 57…[Read more]

I got this one and it was nice. Thanks Jim. He was being consertive on the description, it is nice. Thanks Jim

The fiberglass resin will eat up and kind of absorb the plastics, I even tried Visqueen, it is very heavy plastic used in construction. The resin is potent stuff. I think I will go with the fiberglass paneds and a square tube aluminum frame. That way I can put some sound proofing in the void. I also have a bunch of vinyl I bought at an auction, I…[Read more]

I fully agree that those who keep this forum afloat should be recognized. Paul I want to thank you for all the time you must have to put in on this thing, I used to build web sites and it is a lot of work. Thanks again to you and all the crew involved. Next year send out a generic email to all forum members, and let those who can help. I would be…[Read more]

It sounds like a lose or corroded conection. I had a berry mini t that had a similar problem, I cleaned and tightened all connections to the Parking/turn light affected and it worked fine. I would check and make sure that the fuel guage has two wires conected a ground and a wire to the guage. If you don’t have a good ground to the plate on the…[Read more]

The oil streaks would indicate a leaking front main seal. The big price is pulling the engine.

You might want to look for any traces of oil showing in a streak when the engine is out to replace the throw out bearing. I would almost bet on a throw out bearing. I would also replace the clutch disk when it is apart. The disk is cheap. Buy good quality parts for the bearing. There some Chinese parts out there, and they are trouble. Good luck…[Read more]

Wow.  Great job, Paul.  And to think that I thought that rebuilt MG TDs (real ones) were too expensive for my wallet?
 

Um…like I wrote, it’s all Moss Motors reproduction partsIt’s part by partAnd like I also wrote, that’s not an engine, since they don’t sell blocks.It’s just the total of all the engine parts they do sell.The summary list shown is my categorization of Moss’ parts
