Hate to see it go. Glad it’s staying local. Did you secure visitation rights? Look forward to seeing you again in VA Beach. Keep in mind that Carlisle is the Import show. The MINI qualifies.

Bill, I think it would be a really cool addition, but I feel you’d have a tough time sourcing brakes that would be adequate.

Sorry to have to see that. Hope everyone is ok.
There are distinct differences between the original TD grille and the ones provided by Fiberfab. The original units are actually easier to find, but then you have to modify the fenders and that front apron so it looks like it belongs.
I did find a place in VietNam that manufactures bumper kits…[Read more]

Dale, you can use my spot. I’ve just been scheduled for Surgery Oct. 8.
I won’t be able to drive down so that leaves an open space for you.

Yep. Rock Star parking.

$126.65 it is. Booked a room. Being optimistic. Possibly a gorgeous ‘32 Ford will tag along.

I hope to able to drive stick again by then and bring the MG. I’ve paid a visit to Hospital Emergency Room the last two Saturday’s. It seems that as soon as I turned 65, my body woke up and said,”Whoa, that’s right, you’re OLD”

You’ll be missed, Roy. Jack, are you in?
I’ve done a couple on line searches for hotels in VA Beach with private parking and the list is pretty slim. The Oceanfront comes up as reasonable compared to other pricing.

I have not booked accommodations. I have registered for the show. If you can find a deal on a Hotel, I’m in.

billnparts replied to the topic Rear suspension problems in the forum General Discussion 6 years, 1 month ago
Step 1) Panhard Rod. This will keep the body centered over the rear axle.
Step 2) Get rid of the cut down leaf springs. Look under the rear axle spring perch and you’ll probably find they are already broken.
Step 3) Replace the springs with adjustable trailing arms. You can build mounting plates and use the existing mounting points…[Read more]

Attempt 2.
I prepped the car as best I could. I opted to NOT flat tow the car after last year’s debacle. I put the race tires on here at the house and drove it up. It’s less than 20 miles. It looked pretty much like the Clampett’s truck.
We made it to Registration OK. On the way up it started running rough and getting hot. I though I had that…[Read more]

Damn, I posted the entire weekend saga, complete with photos and videos, clicked “Submit” and it disappeared. Too late to do it over now.
Watch this space.
