    This is a 52 MG-TD replica kit car by Fiberfab. This
    kit was purchased in 1986 and they started assembling it and then put it
    away in the barn it was pulled out of earlier this month for the first time. I
    believe it is complete except I have not been able to find the wire
    harness, if it even came with one. Some of the packaging has had some
    rodents making homes, and of course the tape for the packaging is dried
    and falling off.

    There are some minor cracks, scrapes & scratches on the parts
    that are assembled and loose. It is built on a 1968 Bug pan, which has
    already had the modifications done to it and the gas tank for doing this
    kit. It does look like all the lights are there, though there is some
    rusting happening to the headlight assemblies. The windshield glass is
    wrapped and seems to be intact, and the frame looks good. The seat
    covers and boot cover and top are all still in their sealed bags. The
    carpet kit has had a little bit of mouse life in it but it doesn’t look
    like they hurt the carpet at all. Included are the sales brochure, the
    parts & accessory book, and the installation manual. It also has the
    certificate of origin for the vehicle along with the ID plate.

    The VW motor is an H case. 3-4 side seems to be doing good but #2 exhaust is
    stuck and #4’s exhaust push rod tube is crushed, which bent the rod so
    it will require some work. The transmission is unknown. There is a
    steering column but it has not been installed. Brakes were replaced from
    master cylinder, to lines, to wheel cylinders, to the brakes
    themselves.

    Any questions please e-mail wm971252@earthlink.net or call 860-642-7242, this is definitely not my area of expertise.

    Looks like a viable project. Some assembly definitely required.

    That’s where I was on my project a few months ago. Making better headway now that I’m back on it.

    Like the song says, “God is great, beer is good and people are crazy!” But MGTDrs are cool!  🙂

    I will include a 6 of good beer with the sale:-)

     
    As you can see in the background I am a VW person but I need stuff that can haul things. Found it at an auction and had to save it from the scrapers. The owner was trying to get way more cause of what it cost him to buy but the closing on the house was 2 days later.
     
    Any reasonable offer accepted 😆
