introduction

After many years of asking me to build his 1982 Fiberfab MGTD
kit, my friend finally said I will give it to you to build. Ok, I’ll take it even though I have 2 or 3 other car projects started. It arrived from California last week and has been unpacked. It was stored inside since 1982 and the boxes have never been opened. All is in good condition. It is a VW based kit however I’m looking at making it a front engine rear drive car. I will have a few questions as I proceed.

If you’re serious about scrapping the VW appoach, you may want to look at my build thread. I threw out the frame that came with my kit and scratch built a frame based on Mustang II components. I have also considered other approaches, such as MGB, Chevy V6, Buick aluminum V8. If you don’t go the VW route, the driver is the width of the rear end. After that, the rest falls in place.
See Building Alfred under My Projects.
Looking forward to your progress.

You could Soob it. Having a bit of storage up front is kind of nice.

I have a London Roadster. I think built in the early eightys.
Just wondering if anybody knows what platforms other than VW this would fit without too much hassel.
Thanks
