Allen, compare the dimensions of that water tank to this….Classic Roadsters Ltd. provided a fiberglass box that sits up front, behind the grill. It holds 150 pounds of sand. I know. I filled it and had to manually lift it across those broad fenders over the side panels and gently lower it into the trunk.The dimensions:11 inches front to back16…[Read more]

If you need some more funding for something else in the club let us know. I’ll be very happy to pitch in. And everyone on this club should get the TDReplica.com badge for their TD. Excellent way to support AND promote the club. 

Thanks guys.Paul: you should keep your money in your pocket; you donate enough time. parcel out your cash contribution among several of the rest of us. We’ll be glad to chip in.

 Paul, Sorry ,I was asleep at the wheel . Did not intend to let this slip by. Thanks again for all you do to keep the forum running smothly. Thanks to those who did donate, and yes it’s good to recognise them.

Weird. I just gor mail from them a week ago. Notice of policy renewal offer at $111 for $5720 coverage.Ah, it does say “all checks payable to Philadelphia Insurance Companies.”Hmmm.

 
Back in the day VW ran a winter ad that featured a snowplow driver.

You do have chains, don’t you? I used them on my 71 Super Beetle. It was the fastest car in Westchester County when it snowed.
 
 

Not to worry…I’ll be sure to include plenty of photos in my personal photo gallery (with a link of course) when I get back.
Paul…Um SNOW! You mean that white fluffy cold stuff? I remember that stuff. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! 

Green with ENVY!
Car shows are not exactly scheduled in the northeast this time of year.
In fact, they are predicting 6 to 10 inches of snow where I live in the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania this weekend!

Allen,I just found out I may have to cover a project for work over that same weekend.Right now it looks like I will not be able to attend.  Very sorry.Have a great time and take pics.

Kit manufacturers used to provide a Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO) with their kits (sometimes anyway) but I didn’t get one with my kit and I don’t know what info was on an MSO. The paper that came with mine was the shipping label with the kit date and the kit serial number. newkitman40843.7156481482

I don’t know if the new owners have the same info, but when I first bought from MGMagic they gave me some of the history of my car.  I got first and subsequent owners and the year of the kit.  Might be worth a try.

This would be a great motivator to have my rebuild done.I think I’ll just put this on the calendar and shoot for being there in person with the new wheels.

Paul, Thanks for doing the research and as soon as winter is here and company leaves and Thanksgiving and Christmas are history, I will go back and get MIGI properly titled and registered. 
My real question was if we were to line all the TD replicars up alphabetically by height and year (kit year I guess) what would it look like?  Maybe this in…[Read more]

I’m envious!
And I just did some digging. Turns out Larry’s inspector was following North Carolina regulations correctly.

On page five of that document….you will find:

 Paul, I know you are right!! When I talked to him on the phone to set up the apointment, he told me that the car had to be ”operational” for the inspection so I got everything working expecting a ”mechanic type” person to show up,put on coveralls and perform a real inspection of the car.
 When he arrived ,a day early, he was driving what l…[Read more]

You lucked into a VERY friendly DMV person Larry! VERY!

Getting close to firing her up! Removed the gas tank and cleaned it out. It’s going back in tomorrow. I installed all new tune up stuff today. I will probably remove the dash tomorrow and build my own replacement. I want to find a real nice piece of Mahogony or something with a beautiful grain. I have a cabinet shop that will jig out the perimeter…[Read more]

Was there a show for 2011?  What about 2012?  Too many hits come up with a Google search for “Fun under the Sun”.
