You might also begin to pull wires from the fuse panel one at a time while it’s making the noise. Once the noise disappears you’ve identified the circuit that it’s on.

If there’s no smell/smoke it’s probably good…

Good on ya, Jack. No new news on the fender stretch since the last update. I’m pretty confident I’ve got this in hand though (finger’s crossed). Hope to get a little more done this week, between Christmas shopping/wrapping/delivering goodies & etc. Will update again if I do.

Wow, Jack! That’s a really nice desk fan.

Hey Toller,

Are the VDO sender units different from the VW ones? I have a new VW sender unit that I put in with the new tank but the gauge is not working. So I guess the real questions is, if I replace the VW sender with a 10-180 ohm unit, might that solve my gauge problem?

Welcome aboard, Mickey!  That’s a great find.  I’ve been wanting to add one of those to my collection but they are as rare as hen’s teeth.  There’s a guy around my area (it maybe the same guy that Ed’s talking about since Ed and I are close) that has one.  He’s a little sketchy about the provenance when you talk to him about it but it’s a Vic…[Read more]

Just looked to see where Townsend is. Man, you have some wonderful roads in that area. You’re positioned just north of the Dragon. Almost jealous. Finish the car!!!

Good on ya, Mickey! I’m sure you already know how rare and sought-after the Victor TF kit is. There’s a guy round my neck of the woods with one. From the MG Experience board I know there’s a guy in Colorado with one he just finished a few years back. With the exception of the afore-mentioned octagonal gauges (unobtanium) and the way the bonnet…[Read more]

Welcome!

Great, another front engine replica. Looking forward to watching your build.

Jes, I think we’d all love to see photos of your handiwork. It sounds fantastic, and I bet a lot of us would love to rock an Airline Coupe style TD.

But we’re all pretty much cheapskates.

I say post what you have and try making the sale from there. You never know what will catch some guy’s fancy.

Hmmm. Thinking about it more, this may be in contention.

Gonna rattle can them, I think. Duplicolor makes a match for about $10-$15 a can. Probably take 4 cans.

If I find a really nice, not too-expensive paint sprayer (SATA, say) before mid-spring I may shift focus.

More than one way to skin a hard top.

Pretty sure Classic Instruments is not related to that company. But they are still around and can be reached.

How cool is that!

Another day of progress. This seems to be working out pretty well so far.

Thanks, guys!  I’m planning on towing to Carlisle and VA Beach, so I hope to keep in touch with my MidAtlantic peeps.

Hope it’s a good move, Vicenc. I lived in Florida for 5 years in the 1990s. It has its charms.
