Well done. But I wonder how it was an inch off to start with. Any clues?

Moss has a better price? That might be a first!

Based on detailed pics on Moss Motors site the strips are identical to those that I ordered from MG Magic. Also Moss offers a better price

We hit a snag.  (Imagine that!)  When I tried to install the driveshaft, it was too long by about an inch.  Did lots of head-scratching, as the Victor was designed to accept all MGB drivetrain as plug-n-play.  Checked all measurements, and everything seemed proper – except it wasn’t…  Also heard from another Victor owner who’d had two of them…[Read more]

You may have heard that this year’s (2018) Auto & Air Show in Virginia Beach was cancelled for reasons not given.  I responded to an email from one of the organizers:
George,

year’s show. It was not “just” a show for we of the TDr club, but…[Read more]

I know, wrong thread but…

It does look like the Air and Auto show in Va Beach is off for this year.  I got this from First Settlers yesterday — in part ..

“Air & Auto Classic attendees, volunteers, sponsors and vendors:We’d like to thank you for supporting our show, some of you for many years. Due to your generosity, together we’ve raised…[Read more]

Perhaps I failed to be clear. The VA Beach show will probably happen as I informed George that if it goes to Sunday, they will lose all of us. Being long term attendees that might persuade them to keep it Saturday. I know, wrong thread.

Jack, the wheel looks great.

That wheel looks really right. It’s the absolute best one for a TD (next to the Bluemels Brooklands, of course).

No Air & Auto? DANG!

Still plugging along but I do tend to get sidetracked away from the mundane and toward the more exciting stuff —

Found a used, Triumph TR4  LeCerra steering wheel with the Boss and all of the mounting hardware and horn push on eBay at a really great price…This set turned out to be an old MOSS UK kit from the early 2000’s…so it makes it not…[Read more]

MG Magic carries the rubber strips, aluminum tracking and chrome end tips, http://www.mgmagicclassicmotorparts.com/mg-td/?sort=featured&page=11
I was able to reuse the chrome tracking that I had of my Fibre Fab and just had to trim the rubber to fit.

Fantastic! Real Sharp and I LOVE the Sporty Retro Look! You’ve got a real head turner!

I’m with Paul & Ed, BUT holy mackerel, he’s got a V8 crammed in under the bonnet.  I really can’t figure out a good place for the oil cooler.  ???

Brilliant!

Thanks for being “that guy” Ed!

I had the same thought. Now I don’t have to write it down! 😉

Ric: The important thing to know is that the Ford-based TDrs were made to use the Pinto rear end and rack & pinion setup. To that purpose, the whole car was made substantially (about three inches?) wider than a BCW body—either VW or Chevette-based. The BCW body is very close to the width of an original TD, though the wheels (in any version) sit f…[Read more]

Not a lot done this weekend as there was things to do around the house.

I did get the fan brackets removed and got the oil cooler installed. Got the plug wires on.(I hope number one is where I think it is)

Then I cleaned up the shithole my garage has become. Folded up the cherry picker and threw out a bunch of now empty boxes.

Started a…[Read more]
