Thanks for the welcome. Hope to find some in site on these car. Kinda bought it on a whim hoping to make something out of it. Just not sure which direction to go with it.

Hey All
I haven’t chimed in for a while but I couldn’t resist. The Penny Marie is a Duchess also and I’ve never had a problem with heat. I’ve been on the freeway in 90 degree temps going fast and I think I got hotter “and more sunburned” than the car. She’s never overheated on me. I also have the big round hole behind the spare tire but no one…[Read more]

newkitman started the topic 2016 Florida Bug Jam in the forum Clubs and Show 8 years, 8 months ago
Spent the weekend in FL at the Pasco County FL Bug Jam in Dade City, FL. 625 VWs of all types and conditions. Only saw one TDr, a white one. Had several other kit cars including an Apha Romeo. And it was packed…over 5,000 folks in attendance. I got a free beer for being a Vet and scored some needed parts. Found a guy who cuts VW key blanks.…[Read more]

Believe it or not you have 3 TD members just south of you in the Stafford area – Rick – building his car now (just spent an hour with him last weekend checking out his cool rides and garage), Dean – just south of me with a running and driving example and myself with a car I restored about 12 years ago. Looks like we have a club…[Read more]-

At this point it’ll be after Thanksgiving. Help setting the carb., oil pressure indicator, along with a couple of other gauges would be handy.
Thanks again, Lee

Lee
Sounds like you are getting on top of it and looking forward to meeting.
Dale-
I didn’t find my “neighbors” with TDs on the map. What am I doing wrong?
Lee

Okay, just figured out how to reply…
Wow, thank you. I am retired leaving me available most of the time. How would you suggest we set up a meeting?BTW, I still have not been able to repair the oil pressure indicator so am reluctant to drive my TD.
Thanks again, Lee

Lee
Sure – love to meet. We need to pick a semi-warm weekend and try and get everyone together.
My email is dlschu42@gmail.com.
Might be easier to communicate.

Hey Dale, I’m in, Maybe on a Sunday at my house? The garage is heated, and mine is not on the road.

Don B replied to the topic Cooling question in the forum VW Based Kits 8 years, 8 months ago
Thank all of you for your responses. The openings I have around the engine compartment are made by the way the body parts of the original kit fit together. I looked again and it seems that there is plenty of room for air circulation without the spare tire opening. Actually my car runs pretty cool, it takes it about three to four miles before…[Read more]

I didn’t know the forum changed the way it’s done, sorry. If you look at ACTIVITY atop the web page here you might see my message where I was able to add a picture of the image button I was talking about. But unfortunately it doesn’t work the same as it did before this forum changed its format. Used to be able to simply select a file after…[Read more]

Hmm. Okay. So it shows only here in ACTIVITY…? Anyway… picture is of the message reply showing where the Insert Image button is located. Painted with blue spot to highlight that.
Seems like that method requires you to use an online (web address) picture. But don’t quote me on that, I just now realized this is all different from the old forum…[Read more] -

Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Cooling question in the forum VW Based Kits 8 years, 8 months ago
As noted above, my TDr flies in the face of the accepted VW engine bay practices.
The primary purpose for sealing the engine compartment is to separate the hot end of the engine (the cylinders and exhaust) from the cooler intake side of the engine.
I have the engine cooling tin in place. But I made no attempts to seal the engine c…[Read more]

Harry if you click on the history at the top we have a list of the manufactures and a brief history on them.
Some manufactured put tags on the parts or numbers and a lot didn”t do either .
also we have a couple TD owners in Phoenix,
