Good looking car John.

Thanks to all who responded to my request for information.  Thanks to LRH’s research of a Classic Motor Carriages name plate I am having a local trophy shop duplicate a plate replacing the Gazelle info with Classic MG (inside the octagonal shape).  NJ motor vehicle has agreed to doing this.  Once they verify the installation of the VIN plate th…[Read more]

Wow! Looking good, even upside-down.

Very nice. It appears to be pulled really tight but there is no sign of strain on the snaps. Nicely done.

This is my first attempt to load a photo.  It apparently will allow me to post the photo but for some reason it is turning it upside down.  I even tried turning the original upside down and reposting so if the forum software is making the original upside down it would correct itself — but no luck, it really wants this photo to be upside down.  …[Read more]

Had to post this on Dave’s behalf.Dave messaged the photo to me.
I must say his new found sewing skills are awesome. I see a future
for Dave, sewing new roofs for all of us! ;-)And don’t worry, Dave says the rear window is coming!

Good memory Allen.He did, the glove box door. And that has already been removed and replaced with a non-signed door. 😉

The original setup does nothing about keeping the body centered over the rear suspension during cornering. All the cornering stress is delivered to the mounting pad at the front of the spring. My spring leaves…[Read more]

I remember seeing a plate like that when I first got my  Fiberfab. I have absolutely no idea where it is now.

Giving my own post a shameless bump up.

Seems worth it for the body alone if you have a place to store it till needed.  U-store rates might be low in Banning.Sorry to be the voice of temptation.

WelcomeThere are only a few TRr owners registered in the Pacific Northwest.  I am in Yakima and have had a used TDr for about 18 months.  So much great info and individuals on this forum.Rich  :-):-):-):-)

This isn’t all about me guys. Really!

Uploaded pics from my PC desktop today.  Thanks for the help.

Be careful when ordering. The dash on mine is drilled for the 3-3/8″
speedo and tach. Believe it or not no one makes a bushing or bezel to fit
the smaller 3-1/8″ gauge into that larger hole.Just as an aside here, I have often made adapters and space fillers for dashboards using thin but rigid material such as Formica.  I usually cut the inside…[Read more]

Paul. I believe you already have mine. But like Bill Gould, I too am now retired.
But don’t put me out to pasture yet.:lol:newkitman2015-07-07 15:05:07
