Take care of yourself, Schuby. And your wife.

Here’s the map of the showfield for this year.

Dale, you will be missed. At least you have a real good excuse. I hope everything goes well with her surgery. See you in Oct.

Guys

It looks like I am out this year. My wife is having surgery the week of the show so I will be helping her recover at home. It’s the least I can do since she helped me recover from my broken back. I’m fully recovered from that now.

I hope you guys have a great time and hopefully I will see you guys in October at VA Beach.

I was trying to show the dimensions of the blanking plate with a ruler, but the photo came out smaller.  The ruler shows that the blanking plate is 7 inches (180 mm) long. It is 2 1/4 inches wide (60 mm).

This is the gap that I covered and the blanking plate I brought on Ebay.  Is your gap slightly wider? If so would you consider cutting out a larger chrome or stainless plate that goes behind the black plate?

cheers

er…Welcome Blake!

The VW column is from a 69 or so and the ignition switch  and columm lock are available.

If it were me I’d put a universal key switch or maybe a true TD key switch and maybe a pushbutton (or pull!) ignition switch in that original MG center dash plate.

No clue what to do there. I was also not a fan of the old radio, so I took it out. I bought the MG blank plate on eBay, but it is too small to cover the hole as the upper and lower margins of the hole are too wide.

I am thinking about creating a glove box for the space, but I am not sure how I would approach it. I am not the best with wood…[Read more]

Welcome! Pleasure to have you, Trevor.

G’day Trevor

I’ve just joined a couple of weeks ago. I’m across the ditch in New Zealand.

Post a pic of your car.

Cheers Blake

Hello Trevor from Bundaberg Australia.
I have a 1989 British Racing Green TD2000 just being used for leisure ,so far it’s a great little car. Good to be part of the club.

Looks good Stefan

Are you planning on installing a new car radio, something that looks retro?

I’ve just removed my radio, was not working and looked too modern.  I covered the gap with an MG blanking plate which I brought on Ebay.

Cheers Blake

Thanks for the link. I may end up buying 12 of these pointers so they all look the same.

There are a couple of other things on the website which bits may get, depending on the international shipping rate (to New Zealand)
