Suggestion. VW valves sould be set cold. Let her sit overnight and
chexk/reset in the morning before starting her up. Set all valves to
0.006 and you’ll be good to go.

Welcome Dave! 
Some day I’d like to do the “Snowbird” thing in the winter too.  Still working! 

 pga64, You are indeed blessed to have a wife who likes to ride. It’s much more fun to be with someone special when doing the things that we enjoy.My wife likes to ride too but her health does not allow her to do so as often as we would like.It also limits the time I have as well.I have only put 2300 miles on my BCW in two years and three…[Read more]

we have had ours for about 2 weeks  and put about 800 miles on her. I should say Cathy has put about 800 on her

Brilliant!My Two year is coming up also. Gotta look up the date.

Hey Jfbworld…Your grill/slats are in beautiful shape! But your potential buyers need more info to be sure of what they are buying. Even saying it is a Fiberfab, may not be enough. As manufacturers merged,
got bought, whatever, designs and parts may have co-mingled.Since the proportions in the photos are off, what are the measurements (height…[Read more]

Not to be nasty or condescending, but if you had answered all the responses to your ad, and from me by a phone message to your number and on craigslist too, you might have sold the car before it got destroyed. How much is it worth now and how much effort and expense would it be to restore it in it’s present condition?

I’m going to try to make the English-food cruise.
Sounds like a good time.

Welcome, Dave. We’ll do the best we can.

Thanks for chiming in, Cory.

You get to come because you have a British accent.Follow Schu & Greg up if you can.

Hi, guys! Ed and Paul (and everybody else), it’s good to see you here! I’ve been looking around your site, and I’m glad to see the positive remarks about my car, Carlisle and the SOC guys. Thanks for that!
No, I didn’t buy a TD. I’m here to help with the float question.
I have a JAZ cell, with the foam in it, and I use an AutoMeter fuel…[Read more]

Done! We’ll see you there.

Ed,
Right now I am thinking of flat towing to your house and then driving around
from there w/ the TD. Since I would be flat towing the early dinner time is
not that big a deal. The MG show sounds like like fun as well – just email me
w/ your address and time I need to be at your house. I think Greg will be
coming as well the last time I spoke to…[Read more]

YEAHHH!
