Thanks to all you guys who are working hard to save all that is saveable. It really means a lot to those of us who are computer challenged. We will get thru this somehow. Hope most of the ”real” members can make the transition.

Pretty sure my Classic Instruments speedo is working as intended, just that the PO never installed the little gear adjustment box described in the instructions. I’m thinking the larger faced dial & 100 mph read should look better and work better. Be digging into this by Thanksgiving or so, as good days for driving are getting sparse & I now have…[Read more]

Moss has the wiper parts for sale. I’d skip the original-style repro motor at like $325 though. Hot rod and/or boat supply places can get you something very close for $30-$70. 

Must get rid of this car asap $1,000 cash.
I need the space in my garage befor
winter…..

 Ed. On my VWbased car ,the cable connects directly to the VDO speedometer without an adapter. When the speedometer ”broke” on the car I recently sold [also VW  –VDO] I was able to fit the ”works from a VW speedometer into the VDO case. The same cable that fit the VDO also fit the VW speedometer.
 Icould not find it, but I remember a post no…[Read more]

 dbrock, Looks like your car is a candidate to use the MG type wiper  mounted to the top of the windshield frame. See Deerebills gallery to check out how he did this. A streetrod  parts supplier can supply the parts. Without the dimples on the cowl , I don’t know how it would be possible to use the VW wiper system.

Mullica Hill, NJ is just southeast of Camden, NJ/Philadelphia, PA on US 322 between Bridgeport and Glassboro (Rowan University).
It’s about 95 miles southwest of where I live. If Fort Monmouth wasn’t closing in 11 months and I wasn’t retiring and relocating, I’d go look at it.
As it stands now, I have a ’69 Beetle, two ’74 Beetles, an ’89 GMC Sub…[Read more]

There are several good wiring harness companies out there to choose from…Ron Francis Wiring, American Auto Wire, Painless Wiring, Centech. I’ve used them all.
A universal “Hot Rod” harness is the best to use IMHO.
A “tarantula orgy”…nice description!

Givign a little bump to keep this on the Active topics list

It’d fit in the garage. Not the budget. On that note, I just scored a pair of gen-u-ine SRT 576 Lucas fogs for $42 including shipping. “Patina” on them (o.k., “pitting,” if you prefer) just about matches what’s on the rest of Bridget, so when I put them on her it should look like they’ve been there forever.In my fevered mind, this will be a big…[Read more]

 Ed, It’s hard to see the exact condition from the small pictures,but it sure is tempting to investigate further.What am I talking about?One more would be nice but just not possible.

If I were a rich man….biddy biddy bum, and all that…

I am parting out a 1981 Chevette that has an automatic trans.  Contact me at harry@flymall.org for more details and shipping.  I am in Germantown, Maryland.

Thanks,  But I did install seat belts and attached them to the frame.  Bill

I am parting out a 1981 Chevette if you should need the seat belts.

I feel really blessed to have found this car.  It has a real MG like hood, fold down windshield, an auto trans, velour car like adjustable seats, a real MG 3 bow top. It also has a wiring job that looks like a tarantula orgy.  (may have to redo that, but everything works…………)

It’ s probably a 2.0L OHC Ford. That engine was in the second and third year Pinto’s. The first production Pinto was a pushrod 1.6L and then the European (German) 2.0L Ford.
These engines were extensivey used (Formula Ford) and many other classes of road racing. I remember in the late 70’s they were in asphalt mini-modifieds that ran almost…[Read more]
