Thanks, would like to get a cad drawing made up so we can use it to compare. I will look into a cad program I can use at home to model. May be able to look at “refignments” before cutting and wrenching.

Great info for the oil change. I am going to do some searching to find a supplier for ZDDP oil. I purchased my TD just 2 weeks ago and am going to change the oil due to not knowing when it was changed last.
I will also look out for the crank case breather. Where is it located? I am also new to VW motors. Will be asking questions from time to time. -

The pic is of the top I purchased from Moss and tried to hold it in place to see if it would fit. I didnt think so after taking some measurements and holding it in place. It looked a little short. The part number I was sent is 243-745.

I am not going to replace the frame I need to replace the canvas. The previous owner was traveling from Sweetwater, TX to Dallas, TX and the middle of the canvas (from stiching to stiching, windshield to floating bow) let go. I do have what is left of the old one still and will look to find a vendor that can create and install a new one.

Would a ’53 3 Bow top from an original MG like from Moss fit? Is it longer than a ’52?

Yes it is a chrome windshield complete with pitting from not being taken care of like it should be. It does fold and the hinge for the hood is on the drivers side.
I am looking to fix the gelcoat. Any suggestions? -
