luvmytd,
I guess up here in Georgia we’ll use the same winterizing technique as you down south in the Villages. Not much use for heat during the winter. 

Well….it still hurts.
Actually, I’m probably just jealous!

Winterizing has an entirely different meaning up here!

Paul I don’t mean to be cruel but I am enjoying driving my TD 12 months of the year.

Well, each fuse protects one circuit.
It’s more that the equipment will determine the number of circuits you need.
Have I sent you my Duchess schematics?

 Perhaps I misunderstood, but I think Luvmytd was referring to swapping the tonneau cover for the top. That was his winterization  process. Seems like I remember him driving it during his winter vacations before he retired.
 Happy Thanksgiving to all.

No shock. That was a bargain!

Luvmytd….
I have to say, and with all due respect…
Your post was just downright cruel to to those of us that live in the north.
Altho, I will say, the first time I ever drove my Duchess on the road, with “borrowed” license plates from my daily driver, I got snowed on!
Take that you “year-round warm weather” friend!
 
 

You’re not going to drive her during the winter months and live in FL and live in the Villages (where the wife and I want to retire)? Well if not, don’t forget to winterize the motor and fuel system as well. Regarless if its a VW, Chevy or Ford. Engines don’t run so good on crappy/stale gas. I have a Moss Motor’s catalogue and they even sell…[Read more]

. . . .And the MK-II is gone. 

A buddy of mine has an original TD, that is disassembled like just like that one! And it’s been that way for about ten years!And the $12k IS a good price for the MkIIPMOSSBERG40504.4079861111

I’ll be there, already on calender bying new parts for motor. doing a rebuild looking at a 1641 dual carb set up.

Hi Don,Welcome!This is an awesome place, with great people, who also happen to be very knowledgeable!Click the registry link in my signature and post the info about you and your car, OK?

Allen, I’ve been watching TDs on ebay for about a year now and I think anyone getting even $25k for their car is lucky.$15k is more like it, from what I’ve seen.For a possible deal, check this listing. Under $12k ‘buy-it-now’ price for a legit MK-II should be sweet. Surprised no one’s grabbed it yet.Yeah, it’s missing a fuel pump. And yeah, it’s…[Read more]

Don,…Welcome to the forum.  Nice to hear of a “new” Ford powered replica.  There’s lots of good help here so don’t be shy, ask if you have any questions. Good Luck and post pictures!

Hey Don. Welcome to the club. I too got a kit that was still unbuilt. Been working on it a little here and there. This is a great club and the folks here are very knowledgeable and friendly and willing to help out. So if you have questions just sing out. You’ll get answers.

Welcome, Don, and congrats on your build. Look forward to seeing some shots of it and hearing about your final approach.  

Geoff:There’s me, about 20 miles north of Baltimore.There’s Dale Schumacher down closer to DC. Not sure where exactly, But I think NOVA. He’s got an awesome VW-based TD with wire wheels. There are also about half a dozen Speedser guys within hailing distance. They’re good people too, and especially tolerant of us MG guys. Can we count on you at Carlisle?

KNow what you mean Geoff. There is a former/inactive member 20 miles from here but don’t have a contact email, address or phone number. It’d sure be nice to talk with a member close by over coffee.
