I think it looks cleaner this way.

Interesting fact the shows are full of 57 chevy’s, vettes and street Rods.  After a while the blend, but you TD will stand out like a beacon of light.

We are really interested in the grille shell and slats…can you give us any deminsions.  If possible, I would really like to talk to you about the grille on the phone.

Welcome Dave. You will find everyone here very helpful.

I can get high revs, up to 9,000 rpm in my Honda S2000, need to high rev the VW engine in my London Roadster to keep the engine cooling working, and now a hot rod MG TD which I hope has a bit of torque that my two existing roadsters lack.20 years of driving the mini-vans and Ford Taurus company car are finally getting rewarded.  The new baby…[Read more]

Wow!I cannot wait to see pics of this one and to hear about your first drive!

Good job CurtAllen is spot on. Even that quick drive means you checked them again while the engine was hot. Allen said “should” be set cold. I’ll go a step further…VW valves HAVE to be set when cold.Before you start ‘er up again, do another valve adjustment. Consider it practice.
