Donna,Just for the record….These cars are at their best on a winding two lane country road. Btu that said….My TD replica and I have made several long distance highway drives. From NJ to Cincinnati. From NJ to Indianapolis. And into New England a few times.As far as the weather, some of the worst rain I have ever driven in was in my TD. Had a…[Read more]

Awesome!Another reason we cannot lose the content we have here!

I think that I have answered at least some of my questions, and used our site to do it!  If you go to our home page, there is a link to a Daytona MIGI pdf.  If you download and scroll through the ads until you get to a front engine version, you will see a grainy picture that shows a hood opening like mine.  They also list a folding wi…[Read more]

Hey I am looking for a car can you send me pictures and tell me more about it?Thanks Donnaannod1129@hotmail.com

Thank you all so much for your input!! That video was awesome!Now I really want one. So the vw or ford are about the same for the most part? So I am now on the hunt for a car!! Thank you all and for any other input I would appreciate all the advice I can get.Donna

I’m approving new accounts as I see the.But I suggest we all keep using this forum until it’s actually gone.

Hi gangI already saved copies of every page on the site and all the manuals from the download page. I also copied the Registry thread as of today and Mark’s VW Front suspension thread.I have NOT copied any other major threads from the FORUM. And as you all know, there is a ton of stuff here.

My account is pending approval. Paul, if you want to divvy up some archiving duties let me know what section to grab. 

Proboards forums are free

Paul,If we do switch to the new site, will you need any contributions to assist in running the site? If so I’ll ber happy to contribute. Just let me know.

 Thanks Paul, I just got it to work.

The rear spring is full length, not cut in two like most of the kits (on a Ford at least).  The headlight mounts are cast aluminum and look tubular.  I was under the impression that all Lafers were on a VW chassis, but I may be wrong.  I took lots of pictures, but need to figure out how to downsize them and send them.  I have the top bows for my…[Read more]

Larry,”alpha-numeric” only means they want you to use letters and numbers, with no “special characters.I’m not sure if “case” matters. try doing your user id in all lower case letters and see if that works.

AWESOME video Ed….watched it twice already.
Bill, I thought you were going to sell your car to Donna.
I’m going to watch Ed’s video again….

urious as well. Could it be a Daytona Migi II or a Lafer? There is one kit maker that makes the top with three bows. Another possibility is it could be a replacement top and bow assembly from either MG Magic or even Moss Motors. Not like I know a lot about these kits…just thinking out loud.

I have not gotten mine registered yet — but these comments are great!

Spent all day Saturday a couple weeks ago in Bridget, a VW-based car with what I think is a 1500cc, and I know is a single-port, single carb, 1966-case engine. 50 horses, in other words–about the minimum you’ll be getting in a TD Replica. We did 70-75 mph easily  ’round the Baltimore Beltway and onto I-795 without incident. Drove 100 miles to…[Read more]

Post lots of pics–here and in the new forum, should we need it. I’m very intrigued by this car.

Thanks Paul,
I just checked and we have nine days left here, the registration has not been renewed as of this morning. I believe this portion of the site is thru Web Wiz Forums, and is hosted separate, but still belongs to Frank. I have saved all my personal photos that are in this site to Photobucket already. The registry graphics and…[Read more]

Donna,
I enjoy the power, speed, and availability of parts of my Ford 2.3L based replica. It most definitely is not a daily driver or a long drive vehicle. I have seen the VW based replica’s zip around without effort. I personally have not driven the VW based replicas, so I can only speak about my front engine baby. The cargo space is very limited…[Read more]
