Hey Richard, what city in Ohio?  I just got home from the Dayton airport.. 

I’m in an airport in ohio, I’ve found myself busier than I wanted to be right now. But you have to make hay while the sun is shining. My goal is to play this summer so I’m trying to get work out of the way. But quickly on my Blackberry I searched for counter top or table molding and edging. Bunch of responses kicked up. I miss you guys be back…[Read more]

That looks like a sweet deal for someone who likes puzzles. I bet it could be had for $2k. 

Welcome,
The VIN number on my BCW is located in two places. One is on the firewall
in the engine compartment. It was partially hidden by the heater box. The
other place is beneath the steering wheel column, on the firewall, behind the
dash. It was painted over.

 Dan, Thanks for your reply. It’s amazing how much better you can see something once you know what it is.I just couldn’t make it out.
 Ringo, I went by the glass shop and they gave me a short piece that was leftover from a previous job. I peeled the rubber off one side so it would not be so thick and it looks like it will work .
 Thanks again to…[Read more]

it is nothing special just pin stripe ! that you get at Advance auto !!! Dan R

 James, Thanks for the suggestion and the source. I have used this product with good results but did not know it was available in 1/8 ”.The great thing about this site is that you can get a lot of good ideas that would take forever to think of by yourself.

Larry,
These guys have the 1/8″ stuff. I have not found flexible slim trim like this in stores. This should take the bending without pucker.

Makes for a nice dress up. I am going to try some for my projects.

 Ringo, Thanks for the sugestions. Both seem like workable solutions. There is a small local auto/building glass shop here that just might have some of the window trim left from a auto window replacement.I’ll check them out.I had not thought of this but it just may solve the problem.

Larry,I had some luck at an RV/camper dealer a few years ago. However when I went back recently for another project they mainly had vinyl edging, no more of the 50’s style metal edge molding.  I’d try RV dealers first, then old time hardware stores (not the big box stores, they look at you like you’re nuts when you ask for metal edge molding.)  I…[Read more]

Heck, anyone that could buy a $60,000 TD Replica should just pony up and buy an entire replica company!Yes that’s right folks. For just a few bucks more, well $95,000 total to be exact, you can own TG Sports, the New Zealand based manufacturer of an MG TF replica. I have seen these cars and they are beautiful.
The kit builds up on Mazda MX5 Miata…[Read more]

If you’ve got that kind of budget for replicas of classic British technology and workmanship, why not spring for this kit, carry the ball to the end zone? A TD and a Spitfire would make a cheeky pair, I say!

Hilarious. Someone’s got WAAAY too much time on his hands. ‘specially love the machine gun lighting effects. I’ll have to tune that in again, tomorrow at work.

’86 might be one of the last ones built. I’ve been trying to get a fix on how many BCW made, so the number they stamped on yours (not the VIN, but their serial number) might be helpful. Congrats on your purchase. They’re cool cars. Mine’s number 110, a VW kit assembled in June of 1982.

Yes – 1986!
Thanks for the imput.  I will check when I get home and report back.

Cool, an antique replica of an antique auto.
Welcome aboard

 Welcome, it is always nice to have a new member my car is also chevette powered my numbers are on the firewall and on the body ,behind the driver door between the hinges .     Dan R

 Hi and welcome to the forum. Glad to hear of another BCW in our group..On my Chevette engine BCW , the vin is on the driver side door jam. This is a metalic looking sticker from  the state in which the car was first titled and I assume that the state actually assigned the vin #.I believe these cars were delivered with a statement of orgin from th…[Read more]

Dan, excellent point.
The Morris design keeps alive. He would have been proud. To my eyes, the MGTC -MGTD body design is beautiful poetry, and well worth replication.
