Welcome to the site. There’s alot of helpful people here. The Ford/Chevy kits had their own frame that came with the kit. The donor was used for the motor, transmission, front axel etc.
I think if you search the site you will find assembly manuals that have been transposed electronicly. If not just ask, Iam sure someone will send you…[Read more]

A working cat can get very hot. I left an air space between the fiberglass floor pan and the shield. I have put on over 2000 miles and have had no problem.

The sender should be to the right of the distributer, under the intake manifold. Or at least it is on my 84 chevette td. It is tucked in and difficult to see.
Good luck, Bill

Thanks for the plate info. I will see if I can get it. Do you have your car home yet? You will have plenty of sunny days to enjoy it there, not like our chilly NY weather.

It sounds as if you changed all the major componets. Did you have a front end or 4 wheel alignment done? I don’t know if that will help your problem, but it will not hurt. Thats what I did afer the assembly to be sure the car tracked correctly. Also be sure the rear axel is stable. My car (chevette TD kit) handles well at highway speeds…[Read more]

During the assembly the original chevy front coil springs were to be cut shorter in order to make the car level. My car had that done during the assembly and it sits level and she drives wonderfuly. I will dig out my manual and let you know how much to cut off.

My car has smooth chrome wheels with a spoked basket which bolts on where the hub cap commonly goes. They arn’t real spokes but they do look 10 times better than the cheesy spoked hubcaps. I think MG magic in Fla can help or try any auto/ speed shop and you should be able to find them.

Good luck, Bill

The bumper would have to be pushed forward in order for me to increase tire size. The back may allow enough room?

Havent heard much on Pink MG? Hope things are going better. I figured you either shot yourself or quit. Keep us posted.
Did anyone go to spring Carlisle in Pa? There was a very nice original TD for sale there. Only $27000.00

You only live once! I say go for it. There is a nice looking ford TD a fellow named Bill from Pa has in the picture section. He has it set up very nicely. Its time for us Chevy guys to shine. And if you go first, I can pick your brain when its time for mine!

Too bad about the speedo gear.
This is the way my Chevette TD was assembled, almost. It was a driving chassis before the body was assembled. Although my transmission crossmember was bolted vs welded. My tranny is an automatic.
What other plans do you have for the motor while having it out of the car?

The grill may be a tough item, but I believe that MG Magic in Florida can hook you up with the fenders and other parts. The phone # is 954-680-2010 They are the most helpful folks I have used concerning these cars.
Are you selling the car?
Good luck.
