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!

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]

Sounds like my story congrads

 I did the way Pink MG  on two different cars and it worked OK. I don’t know if the reading is accurate but I know where the normal reading was so a higher reading will let me know if a problem develops.

I bought a fitting from Peek Performance in Seabrook, MD that allowed you to hook the oil pressure idiot light switch and the oil temp sender to the same port that the OEM oil pressure sender is in on the side of the block.
I read somewhere (Samba forum?) that the dipstick sender is the best location for accurate oil temp readings…I don’t…[Read more]

On one of my cars I used a VDO sender designed to replace the oil pressure control plug on the left rear bottom of the engine. It has the same threads as the original VW plug and works just as well as the oil sump plug I have on my other car and makes for a cleaner installation. The sender is the same dimensions as the OE VW plug and does not make…[Read more]

Purplemyth : Paint, try any body shop most cars today have a lot of fiberglass parts so I don.t think it would be a problem. Dan R

OK I have to put my 2 cents in. Wind in your hair is part of it all ,at this time my wife and I have 3 convertibles Camaro,&a PT and have had 13 over the years, the best for NO wind is the camaro, the worst is the PT. and that car has a bar over the back to cut wind and it doe’s nothing . I tryed wind wings and I truly think they helped verry…[Read more]

Please post a picture of the wiper blade. I used to buy mine at a Marine supply and they set screwed to the VW wiper arm.
