I am definitely a novice at this, how do I know what kind of car I have? I know the kit was manufactured by Fiberfab. What is the difference between a MGTD and a MIGI? I was told the car was a 52 replica MG. I am sure I will need to know this when trying to get parts. So far it’s been fun, man you really get some looks when you drive these little cars.

 Look in the MP Lafer section. Paul has a link to some pictures there.

Is that a typo, or what is an MG TI?  My Google search was fruitless.I would love to see some photos of it.

I’ve purchased several parts from them when they were in Florida. They have since sold and relocated the company to San Diego.  A bit pricey but worth the cost. Parts are great as well. At least in my experience. I have an email to them asking about a couple of parts. Hopefully they will respond as quickly ans when they were in FL.  

Welcome!
Reputable firm. Has a LOT of TD replica parts.

I don’t recall any posts reporting doing business with the new owners.

Good point Larry.
Yes, I was thinking VW pan, VW suspension.

 Hey Dick, I’m not trying to contradict Paul’s advice,but if I remember correctly, your London Roadster is one of the rare ones using the VW engine and transaxle but built on a custom chassis with coilover shocks on all four wheels. If that’s the setup,the shocks may not be typical VW type and you would need to replace them with shocks designed…[Read more]

Thank you Paul, It does ride stiff and it’s only 1600lbs

Dick,
I believe the common wisdom is that standard VW shocks will work best for VW based TD Replica.
Coil-overs will only add stiffness to the suspention where you don’t need it!PMOSSBERG40749.5417824074

I just checked my tires on my Roadster and the newest they can be in 1994. Just got my new one’s from tirebuyer.com this morning.
Always check the DOT code. Could have got hurt.
New code is 1411.

Mark,
 There’s a couple Gazzells running around real close and I did hear of another white TD someplace about 30 miles north.  So far I hav’t ran into him.

I ordered a product of the internet used to coat the inside of pick truck beds,
its called “Grizzly Grip” . I liked it because you can brush or roller it it on
and as it dries in expands a little bit and creates a texture that covers the
brush and rollers marks. I ended up coating all the front trunk area and
passenger area after bolting down…[Read more]

I just found this posting and watched the film reel.  What a hoot! Thanks, I really enjoyed that.

My original Lafer gauges had clear plastic covers that were scratched and dull and the chrome was
pitted and rusty. I purchased replacement glass and bezels from a company called North
Hollywood Speedometer (www.nhspeedometer.com). I was only able to find replacement glass and
bezels for the 5 smaller gauges so I ended up using the old bezels and…[Read more]

Speaking of another one, Montie, as I left your place, I saw on the highway, another car that looked in the distance to be a TD or replica.  I couldn’t get too close to it, as it turned to go north, but I wonder if there is another owner near you?

Yugo huh. Wonder if the powerplant is a bit lethargic. The kit looks to be a fiberfab but can’t be certain. Let us know what you find out.

Wife told me to keep the carpet for my car. Sorry folk but she wins.
The dash is from Kit Car FiberBaf International ID FM2104
First person with $100 plus shipping gets it.
Thanks edsnova that horn button looks like a winner.

They are Brooklands racing screens.There have to be cheaper sources than Moss Motors, but here is a good look at them: http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexI D=72391

Mark,
Glad you got to stop here in Ohio while you were out this way.  It was nice meeting you.  Your welcome back anytime your out this way, maybe next time we will have more time.    
I’ll watch for that book next time I’m at the book store/Starbucks.   That two lane highway trip sounds good to me, so much of the country is missed on the inte…[Read more]

Thanks mel,
You probably were looking at same knock-offs on ebay I am.  Only advantage I see in them is they are available in 15″ too.  lots more tires available in 15″.    Price is almost the same including del as MG magic’s..  decisions..decisions..decisions??
