Here’s one I put in yesterday but kept the license plate light in place.

Here’s the “new” third stoplight in place attached to the license plate frame.

   

If it was a standard bug pan, it would have drums all around unless (a) the LR factory included discs with your car, or (b) you or someone else installed aftermarket discs, such as those from EMPI. I put discs on the front of my VW-based FiberFab, but they really aren’t necessary.

Along this same line of question, my LR seems to have drum brakes on all four corners.But everything I’ve seen states it should be front disc and rear drum (?). Or am I just mistaken…My LR is based on a standard VW bug pan. I don’t know what year.

Dick ,is your LR built on custom chassis or  VW bug pan?

London Roadster uses VW Brake’s. Mine used squareback pads and caliphers

If that’s running two single contact bulbs, change the pigtail in the socket behind “Stop” to a dual contact.

Just finished attaching and wiring this to my BCW Model 52.  The application is for Motorcycles but the box it came in mentioned that it was a Lucas Copy!  I cut a couple of pieces of metal stock and attached to the two screws in the back of the license plate light.  The BCW being built in the era of late 1970’s EPA requirements being in…[Read more]

As of this morning, January 25, half of our rooms at the hotel are spoken for.With the inclusion of the tuner crowd, hotel space will likely be scarce this year. If you are planning on going, I suggest you reserve soon!

Is that the Chevette Column stripped of all the plastic, or did you install a completely new one?

For a minute on the early 80s every American car came with an 85 mph speedometer.

Hub cap with medallion is $35 at Moss. Maybe buy one and see what you need to do on the spare wheel.

Yes, my seat bases were replaces with a couple pieces of angle iron. The corner of the shelf has extra padding behind the carpet. It’s right in the lumbar region of your lower back and I don’t find it uncomfortable at all. Just like blondes and brunettes, everyone has a different preference.

Thanks Ed.

I personally don’t see how that could be comfortable, at least in my own car.  There is a vertical drop below the package shelf and a second, smaller shelf below that that sticks out about 3″.  With nothing between the package shelf and the lower shelf but some padding, that sounds very uncomfortable for my lower back for more than a few m…[Read more]

I can see that your rear fenders are molded to take the correct, early TD tail lights, but something bigger is bolted over them.

So I guess it makes sense to just have a car for every season — AWD for winter, a pick up for those mandatory spring trips to That “blue” or that “orange” Big Box Home Improvement store, and a very fine Tdr for the rest of the year…!!!

Toller: do not allow your turn signal switch to dictate where and how you sit in the car. Get a little butane torch and heat it up and bend it. If it breaks, epoxy it back on. Or do what I did: use an old pen–hollow it out and epoxy THAT on the turn signal nub.
