Monday was beautiful and it turns out that it was the last time to run her before she goes for the cage. The new fabricator will use all the material I have. Strangely, it turns out that the two hoops the first fabricator supplied were bent by the new fabricator. She goes in Friday for a week or so. I can’t believe how excited I am.

If you’re building a new frame, heres an idea. When I owned my ’02 Escape, I thought it would be cool to take the rear cradle and incorporate it into the frame of the MG. A heavy enough rear assembly that’s narrow enough with independent suspension. Just a thought.

If you’re replacing hose use the new “barricade” hose. It’s built to withstand the effects of the ethanol that’s now in the fuel.

All too many VWs have been burned up. Please change and replace all hoses with NEW ones. Also, I’m not too comfortable with what looks like a Briggs & Stratton shutoff valve. Please forgive, – I’m a bit paranoid about engine fires. One was enough!

With or without the filter and shut-off, the fitting on the bottom of the tank is basically an “L” shaped tube. The tall/long part of the tube is in the tank and the short “L” gets the fuel hose. You will probably have to remove the tank to get to  the bottom of the tank to access the fuel fitting. I’d replace the fitting assembly and the ho…[Read more]

Makes a nice hotrod. I agree that the fenders take away a lot of the appeal these cars have. Love the swoop look.

Welcome Tony

Funny that you mention Corvette… noticed the ebay description compares thickness of fiberglass to them (Corvette thinner). Can’t be sure of that myself but late last year I was all set to plunk down $9000 on a ’74 ‘vette until I test drove it. Never drove one before, didn’t realize its sport car aspect was like driving a little car. Well, a…[Read more]

It’s like a Corvette, you know, but on my budget.

Good day, Tony!

“It’s a British Coach Works Model 52 MG TD replica built in 1980 on a 1969 Beetle chassis with a 1966 Beetle engine. But now it has a Subaru engine from a 1995 Legacy station wagon, and so . . .”.
