    How about building one from one inch PVC tubing .. if its mainly for the look.. I did that when I found out the price of one when I still had my TD…/Google :build Auto luggage rack”  thats where I got the measurements to cut the PVC  Then you paint it after a sanding to make the paint stick

    Also missing one of our Grill Badges.LOL. And I feel it was deceiving for the seller to call it a Tribute rather then Replicar.. I think the buyer may be in for a surprise when he finds out its not an original mgtd

    Kent Thanks for the Heads-up…I think the matter is closed as the seller also removed the item from his catalog of Badges and he does have quite a collection. havn’t heard from the manufacturer yet but I’m sure i will as I have had other items made by them. IE:USMC  Challenge Coins, Coasters etc

    I sent message to the Manufacture to see if they sold any to this guy in India  and i also sent message to the EBAY seller .. I feel he is infringing on my design.  I only had 100 made and still have at least 40 of them left. But the mold I paid for I thought was mine and mine alone.  Seems to me there’s some sort of legal issue here.

    This is a shock to me …I started and designed (with help) the Badge ..Found a maker to make them. And not in New Delhi India.. How could this guy have Badges or is it just one he came across and is trying to flip

    I will look in to it..As thats not right ..Thats our Badge

    not to hard to add a badge bar .. It’s nothing but a boat hatch grap handle .

    goto your local boat store . And ask for Hatch Grab handles , Install it

    between the fenders in front of the grill.. Then order the Badge

    As far as I know the Ghia pan is too big and wide to be used as a MGTD pan.

    yes engine and other parts can be used ..

    Mark congrats on looking forward to retirement …BUT I have news for you ..I

    been retired from full time work since 1995 WOW SIXTEEN YEARS But like

    PGA64 said I’m more busy then when I was working full time . There just

    isn’t enough hours in the day to do all ya want to do. lots a luck though.

    and stay with us here on the TD site. The PinkMG has made it back to Alan

    @bill-collins

    Just caught the Ad myself .. How the heck did Alan get the car? It was on

    sale last month then taken down ..Maybe Alan made the guy an offer off line

    I notice someone took the LUCAs lamp covers ..They are very collectable and

    hard to find.and cost an arm and a leg. And Alan brags about the Great heat

    .. That was my work .. straight pipes to under the seats. Actually too much

    heat ,,And if it still has only 5400 miles on the speedo if I remember right it

    was in the low 5000s when I sold it two yrs ago.. And it had almost 5000

    when i bought it from Mark..Ya after ten yrs its still looking good. Someone

    will get a very good runner and holds the road good n stops on a dime

    picked it up.. And I had given him a lot of extras and info on Joining

    this forum .. which he never did..wasn’t to sharp on MGTD’ s or Kit

    Welcome Shane..Glad to read that one (MGTD Replica) was saved before

    Someone decided that it was junk and had a trash dealer come for it .

    Did you look around that garage for any parts that may belong to the car..

    An unassembled kit sure can fill a lot of boxes.And any parts missing will be

    a problem to find later . I sold my car and thought I had given the new owner

    all extras I had BUT I’m still finding some some stuff I had bought and

    planned on installing and never got around too and then forgot about . Thats

    the senility of old age setting in I suppose

    And just to add a plug –you being a new member of the TDREPLICA site

    (Also saved from the junkman) hows about a club BADGE for the front of the

    car. Shows you belong to an Elite group of MGTD owners..Picture of one in

    the “Our Store” page.
