I stand corrected. Glad to know that they are so reasonable. Brad at MG MAGIC is a very knowledgable person and I did not mean to imply any thing against him or his company. I was under the impression that real wire wheels cost more like $500. each.

Thanks for the info. Not really interested in tricking people into thinking I’m driving an original  MGTD. It’s just my wire baskets are showing rust along the edges.

SARGE ;;DO IT,  Dan R

I purchased the $695 set of 5 chrome wire wheels from Brad Anderson at MG Magic for my Chevette based MGTD.  They are in fact true wire wheels – supported entirely by the spokes.  They incorporate an inner rim seal covering the ends of the spokes to support use of tubeless tires.  Initially I was skeptical of this but my tubeless tires were moun…[Read more]

 Sarge, I think the wire wheels that MG Magic sell are really chrome wheels with wire baskets. Call them to be sure.   Most wire wheels I have seen are much more expensive than the price you mentioned. It’s really whatever you prefer as to wire wheels or disc wheels.Seems like I read somewhere that wire wheels were either an option or a popular pe…[Read more]

Mel,
I LOVE the tonneau cover. I do not have a garage and I do not want to EVER put the top up. So, every night the cover goes on. If I were to design a new one, it would have a flap that would cover the zipper and be held in place by a velcro strip. The cover is water tight except for the zipper area. An alternative would be to can the zipper c…[Read more]

I happen to have a tonneau top (Full cover) for sale ….it’s tan and has a
black underside…heavy material canvas…with a zipper to open for the driver
to get in and sit..I had bought it from moss motors several years ago.. Still
in the bag and no holes for the snaps ( you make them where you want
them )i’ll take best offer (over $150)

my two cents on wire wheels ..as they weren’t generic to the original car ..
why waste the money on them..were tring to make the replica look like the
original…..NO

As a  beginner ;I need some serious help.
Where can I buy the windshield that folds forward as I see on several MG kit cars?  Ihave one that is straight.  Any ideas?

Ringo.
  Being new to all of this, please have patience.  I have posted the picture on the TD Replica site.  Where do you suggest I start looking.
Also, my two rear view mirrors really do not let me see for safty sake, do you know of any right mirrors that can be attached to the windshild?  Or what do you suggest?
 
 

James-Tires are 205.75.R14, I replaced the old tires( with new Uniroyals) which are the same size. 
Rich, James -Thanks for the tip on the tail lights, it got added to the todo list.
James-My car didn’t have wind wings I added a set I got from MG Magic.
Next Trip is mid-December which is only 5 months away (yuck). 
I’m thinking of getting a to…[Read more]

John,
Be sure to post some pics when you can, we would love to see your baby. If you haven’t posted yet, Paul has a registry running in another topic area, post your registry info there. I am overdue in my updating the registry graphic. Congrats on your car.
James

Rich,
Sounds like you made it up that hill and over a lot of times. Glad you’re having a great time, don’t forget the sunscreen . Must have gotten the clutch working well, good job!
James

WOW, Mel, how could you leave her behind . Whata beauty!!!
I did the same with my tail lights, I used the transparent red, like for model cars. Works great! Mine had faded to almost clear white.
Mel, your tires look larger than mine. Do you happen to remember the size?
Ok, do we start a new countdown until go back to Florida? Man, it seems like…[Read more]

I am not for sure the capacity of mine, but I have been putting in about 5 gallons when mine gets just below a quarter of a tank.

Hey Mel,
The car looks great!! I can tell you really are enjoying it just by the photos.
By the way, looks like your tail light lenses suffer from the same “fading” problem that mine did. I used some candy apple transparent paint on the inside and now they look like new. Very happy with the results and it’s held up very nicely so far.
Hope you get…[Read more]

Nice photos! The car looks great, I like the tan top with the red body.

My ’85 CMC ford only hold about 9 gallons. luvmytd40004.6484722222

Look great they are fun little cars.

Prologue,
Well, in spite of terrible weather (rain, rain and more rain) I have logged about 2200 miles since early June. This car runs great, plenty of power, very good handling. I’d like to give the brakes a work over but other than that, it’s much more fun to drive than I ever expected (and I expected a lot!).
Today I get to see if it runs as…[Read more]
