Thanks for all the feedback.  Found this replica on eBay and the previous owner was not a car guy so knew very little about the car or its history.  He said he was the second owner and according to the VIN, it was built in Nebraska in 1999.  Based on the timing cover codes, the engine is a 1974 Mustang II 2.8L.  Have not identified the tra…[Read more]

Dual exhausts don’t indicate VW here, not with that transmission or with that floorboard.  What strikes me is the incredibly good body panel fitment, the folding windshield, the wipers at the top of the windshield, the original-style top, and original style headlamp mounts.  Never seen wire wheels like that on a replica, either.  If all I saw wa…[Read more]

Looks to be a front engined automatic transmission. What manufacturer of TDr’s has concealed bonnet hinges other than BCW? That convinced me of its heritage. Granted, there are many customizations.

Could be a BCW, but I don’t think so. This car looks like no other replica I have seen.

I LIKE!All around very nice car!Sorry I can’t be any help with the manufacturer, though.

I like the color combo. I don’t recall seeing another one like it. Definitely a unique approach on the dash layout. Wires!!

Sorry to hear about you having to sell your car. I agree your daughters education is more important. You may want to check out the Federal Direct Student Loan program, that schools offer. I did to avoid selling Herbie, as the car actually saved my wife and my life. So Herbie has been a important part of the family for the last 30 years.I am on the…[Read more]

Almost definitely a BCW. Nice find.

Some pictures of my 53 MGTD replica:

Alright, thanks for the suggestions. It’ll be a while before I’m looking it over. No heated garage for my car so going to wait until the outside temps get into the 50’s again.

BTW, if you find the bolts holding the steering box lid are loose – be sure to back that adjustment screw WAY back out before you tighten the lid/cover back down. Then, once the cover is tight, readjust the set screw..

The flexible coupler is simply to accommodate minor alignment differences be5ween the steering box and the steering shaft.If you can move the steering wheel without the steering shaft moving at that coupler, the problem is likely the splines on the top end of the steering shaft where the steering wheel coonects, often using an adapter. The splines…[Read more]

Read through this thread:https://tdreplica.com/forum2/forum_posts.asp?TID=3486&title=manufacturer-comparisonAnd as others have suggested, post a bunch of pictures.We’ll figure it out!

Good luck, Roy. I’ll be interested to see how this turns out.

Spike, just saw a gps speedo, which I think is the same size and appearance as ours, for 115.00 on e-bay, could be interesting

Hey guys. Thanks for the comments. I got a whopping good deal on some new 1.25’s and decided to go ahead with the experiment. I plan to carefully record before/after data on my measured course (a drag race 1/4 mile type). John from aircooled.net in a private communication thought it was “a waste of time on a single port”. But applying my “the…[Read more]

For the little I know about it I think it was okay, and although I would call it a disk instead of donut I’m sure we’re both talking about the same thing. Metal brackets on either side, 2 bolts each and offset so they only attach to the disk/donut, not directly connecting the shaft and gear box.

The Head Light support arms for a Fiber Fab, are a curved flat bar, from what I have seen on other members cars. My Classic Roadster Dutchess, has the orginal MGTD round thick head light bar. You can also look at the photos of other members cars in the member profile area, as they list what kind of a MGTDr they have.Dave

I can not pull up your You Tube video because I use a iPad. Just a quick thought since I can not access your video, is the flexible donut between the steering shaft and the steering box in good repair, and the bolts tight? Like I said just my thought. If you do not have the flexible donut, then maybe your steering shaft and steering box shaft…[Read more]
