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??

Cool video Ed. Paul, you’re right. that video in reverse would be an absolute gust buster laugh. And IMax of that would be cool to.
Ed, what kind of windshields do you have? They’re very cool.

That’s too funny! Man, you used every cc of that 1300! Wish I could run the video in reverse…THAT would be a scream.

Wow, another famous member! Or were you already famous?

Sorry. I went in and pulled a bunch of stuff I’d posted for some folks working with me on a longer vid at work. Inadvertently privatized that one too.Should be viewable now. BTW–mute the sound. Something went haywire with the audio on it.

Montie:
They are standard offset from MG Magic.  I found a beautiful set on ebay with knock-offs for a close  price.  But being retired I kept up with the simplicity theme and went with MG Magic wheels.
I’m real happy with them, MG centers are from Moss.  We ground off the posts and used industrial auto body cement to attach them to the spinners.

I tried to watch the video but got an error message: This video is private, even after I logged in.

Another book that my AAA office was unaware of is RoadTrip USA by Jamie Jensen. I found out about it online, but picked the only copy at a book store in Manhattan right before I headed west. If I didn’t have deadlines to meet at each end of the country, I would gladly have taken one or more of the routes in this book.I’m already starting to plan…[Read more]
