Yes, sir!  I am having too much fun.  Turning the ball over requires a couple of big wrenches.  I have one 1 5/8 inch that fits one side, now waiting for a neighbor who has a pipe wrench that should fit the other.  Here’s a shot of the re-worked end that attaches to the car:

Turn your ball over or they make different hieght balls. its easy. One other thought as far as tow lights I tapped into my Rear lights and ran my Tow wire up to my front. I drop her on the to bar and plug in and away I go. Its not that hard. Your having way too much fun with that tow bar. Sorry

For the fiberglass issue, I found some suction cup tow lights, so I’ll await their delivery.  But in the meantime, I had three trips to the other tow shop in Glendale that offered custom welding  work.  A trip there yesterday to drop off the tow bar, and a trip early this afternoon to pick it up and have my 4-way electrical installed so I can ho…[Read more]

Thanks, Mark. I got the kit, I think, coil should be in the box. I talked to a guy at Peek a few weeks back (Sean, was it?). Super nice guy & hope to meet some day. Hear he’s moving across the Bay though, so maybe I can get to the PG County shop before that happens.

Yeah, I looked at the photos in your gallery and I see what you mean about the extreme angle. I don’t know much about the London Roadster kit. The FiberFab kit is sort of your “everyman’s” basic replica. I always liked it, but when I compare it to something like “Ringo’s” Classic Roadster Duchess, I am humbled. It won’t command the money that his…[Read more]

Ed, don’t forget to get the Pertronix coil too. If you are using an OEM or Bosch blue coil, chances are it will have an internal resistor that knocks the voltage down to 7 or 8 volts. Hence no hotter spark than stock points/condenser. 
The beauty of a pointless ignition is that you can run 12v to the coil and it makes gobs more secondary voltage.…[Read more]

Rich, you are very logical.  I didn’t say I was rational in having both. Ha, Ha!  I’m getting feelings to sell my London Roadster and maybe bid on your V8. I’ve got coil over shocks, but as someone else said, they are at an extreme angle and I don’t know how effective they are.The S corners like she’s on rails but my London Roadster is not so t…[Read more]

Paul,
I had just put my Dad’s old Antique plate on it while I was still working on it and before I registered it in 2009. It is now registered as a regular passenger car. Mass. has it a Make of “COMP” short for Composite Vehicle.
Rich

All,
Yeah, the V6 is a very nice engine for this light car.
Mark, not sure I could do anything now that I have a bonafide EBay bid on the car.
BTW, the S2000 is Gran Prix White! I still have my Acura 3.5 RL too. Something just has to go, and the MG was the most obvious choice. MGLondonRoadster, I agree both are very fun and different rides. I…[Read more]

Rich,
In your photo gallery, I see Massachusetts Antique plates on your car. But in the e-bay ad, it looks like standard plates.
What is the car titled as? And how is she registered now? Antique? Standard passenger car? Something else?PMOSSBERG40696.5337615741

Wow, if I hadn’t just bought my London Roadster, I would be very tempted.  Red is my first color of choice and the power of the V6 is something I would treasure.

Whatda’ mean, can’t have both?  I do.  My Honda S2000 is a blast to drive and the London Roadster I have is a kick, too.  But they are two different cars.  I keep the Odyssey in case I need to transport anything or have more than 2 people to move.Your V6 engine sounds great.  I bet it moves a bit faster than our VW engines.

Not gas. Ordered a new German MC plus all the hard lines. Also a Pertronix igniter while I was at it, cause what the hell?$200 more but this time she’ll have totally new brakes AND no more points. Soon as the stuff comes, provided the temp has dropped enough that being outside doesn’t cause me seizures. Dang it’s hot out there.

That is indeed trouble. 

Love the story dbrock!

Great idea Allen.
I created a PDF out of Wobby’s article into a PDf and will send it along to our host to add to the download manuals section

Mark,
Yeah, odd how those magnets don’t work, eh? Except….here’s a great story from one of our Speedster friends in the Speedster Owners Club (http://www.speedsterowners.com/).
Cory Drake has an amazing Speedster. Go over there and look at his photo albums.
Cory’s insipiration was to recreate a vintage speedster, that in it’s time would have…[Read more]

Mark…that odometer is a resale value protection device!

Mark,
Yes, one in Glendale and one in Mesa.

Lucky man. I think we all want to see more of this one.
