I can’t really understand why people bother to blank out their license plate when posting photos on the Internet. Everywhere you drive or park, people see the actual letters and numbers. There are a lot more people seeing the actual plate than would ever see it on the Internet. If the numbers can somehow be used at all, the risk seems a lot…[Read more]

😆 Must be for aerodynamics…A VERY NICE car. A true “barn find” It’s cool that you have it in your family again.You should be proud of your Grandad. He was part of a great generation. I know I was very proud of my Grandpa and his abilities.

Taildragger,

About 20 years ago I rebuild a Daytona Migi that sounds similar to the one you found. Mine had the rear fenders molded into the body tub and the fiberglass grill. I changed to MGB seats, installed a wooden dash, and created a slight “crown” in the windshield glass just like the original. I will try to attach pictures of my Mi…

Well the engine has an H5 code, with the complete stamping indicating build date between December 1968 to July 1969. 1500cc 44hp M157 engine. There’s probably receipts for the engine in the documents but I haven’t had a chance to timeline it all out yet.

The following pics are fresh out of her 29 year garage home. Still in remarkably good sh…

Too Cool!You have something most would envy, a true legacy. Its great to have all the paper trail to go with your car, it takes ownership in a whole new direction.
OH_Varmntr replied to the topic Project Zella in the forum My Project 8 years, 11 months ago

Well the title has been signed over to me and we will be going to get her in a few hours.

So I have a briefcase full of original British Coach Works documents including sales order forms, component sheets for both the front and rear engined cars, an assembly manual in a 3-ring binder, hundreds of business cards that my grandpa had made as a…

Is there a link you meant to post with this?

Thanks Sam, and all. I think I will give Forever Sharp a call and see about their adapter. If necessary buy a new wheel with the shorter adapter.
KentT replied to the topic 52 mg td chevette help in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 8 years, 11 months ago

Yes. Ford Pinto and Mustang II 2000 and 2300cc engines were commonly used for kits. Parts for the Ford engines are MUCH easier to find than the Chevy.

Forever Sharp is who made my wheel. Im very pleased with it.
edward ericson replied to the topic Engine Tin Fit in the forum VW Based Kits 8 years, 11 months ago

285 is OK for a cylinder head temp. Oil should stay below 230F. But, right: our gauges are suspect.
John Simion replied to the topic Engine Tin Fit in the forum VW Based Kits 8 years, 11 months ago

Is 275-285 degrees normal? I drove my car 25 miles in stop-and-go city streets today in 100 degree temps (that’s Vegas for you). My shirt got soaked but my engine oil temp gauge never showed over 210, and the engine is just sitting there with a stock tin full of various open holes and nothing to keep the hot exhaust out of the engine…[Read more]
Tom Vilardi replied to the topic 52 mg td chevette help in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 8 years, 11 months ago

Not sure that is a Chevette Engine. Mine is “painfully” 1980’s stock and it looks significantly different.

The Pontiac T1600 (I think that is what it was called) was another variation of the GM Engine used in BCW Model 52’s – which I think were 99.9% identical to the Chevy Engine.

Were Ford engines used in MiGi’s too?
