Great to hear. What was the “class”, if I may ask?I’m still waiting for the 1st car show or cruise-in this year. Love the 2 trophies I got last year but I don’t want any more, feel like I could begin to crave a trophy every time because of the extra attention and fun and that’s not why I go to them. Well, for attention and fun perhaps but nothi… -

This should about do it.
Two weeks ago we had this:
As of 6 pm today we have
Not a perfect panel gap, but it looks pretty good down the edge. A little compound buff should shine up the new paint and blend it in acceptably.edsnova2016-03-26 21:43:44

Haven’t posted on Moneypenny’s build in a bit. Surgery and bad weather has interfered a ton. But I’m getting back on track. Installed my engine and then stared to install the cooling tin on the bottom the engine. Driver’s side tin slightly damaged and had to straighten a tab out. However…during the install, I didn’t have the bottom tins on and…[Read more]

Anyone ever think of using a bus emergency brake setup? Just another thought.

I modified my emergency brake somewhat like Ed’s suggestion of cutting, bending and welding. I went to the VW junkyard and bought a second emergency brake handle. Then using a 4″ angle grinder, I cut the new arm such that it nestled nicely on top of the old handle and welded it there vertically. This allowed the lock on (parking) function to be…[Read more]

Doug. Did you know they just moved to their new location just of I75 at the Warner Ronins exit? I frequent them quite a bit. I live and work here locally and want to spend my money locally. Also you may want to check day for a grill shell. They are on there now and again. -

Ed, is there a pic of this mod. It sounds a lot easier than moving the ebrake handle having to cut and clamp the cables as others have done.Sam

It’s also, depending on where you are or who you’re with, the only way to get an intelligent conversation started

The easy e-brake fix is to V-cut the top just in front of the pivot, bend it vertical and weld it that way. Then it’s close enough to reach and you won’t be going nuts trying to fab something up. It will also look passably like a TC’s e-brake handle.

If you have all the necessary requirements; time, tools, room, ability, etc, I’d say you’ve got a great find. Even if you spend lots for the grill, engine and other bits, it would be less than most.My favorite show is ‘Wheeler Dealers’ on the Velocity channel. I love seeing them bring old beaters back to life. Edd China is a wizard!

If I’m not mistaken, is the dash on a London Roadster part of the fiberglass body?I thought about replacing mine until I took a closer look. I think the “wood” dash is either photo decal or very thin veneer.
