If you haven’t moved on this, would you post a link? I would like to see what he would take for the carpet set.

Caveat: this interchangeability is between Ford and VW of the same brand kit. So Fiberfab to Fiberfab, Dutchess to Dutchess and Allison to Allison. If you have a MiGi VW and buy a British Coach Works or other brand dashboard it won’t fit.

With the exception of carpeting, yes. I drive a FordTD and had come across someone selling the soft trim package for a TDr cheap. (Builders garage had burnt down and these items were in his basement) Seat covers and tonneau fit fine. I did not receive a top so I can’t confirm. Carpeting for the back area behind the seat fit but the floor is…[Read more]

Yeah Gregg. The TD Group attached itself to the Speedster Owners Club some years ago and those guys blew the Carlisle event out to as early as Wednesday with countryside drives and other field trips and a banquet at the end.
At its peak there were about 100 people at the banquet and awards ceremony, but the past few years have been much…[Read more]

Hey guys I just signed up. Remember to do it before Jan 3 to get $9 off the $45 weekend pass. Go here to do likewise if you’re into it.
The hotel is the same again this year–Courtyard by Marriott.
You can reserve your room by emailing MarriottResLink@marriott.com. If that proves glitchy you can call the hotel and tell them you’re with the…[Read more]

Thanks for the heads up. Surprised I never received an e-mail from Carlisle Events. Got it handled and will see you there.
Merry Christmas.

I could never keep my top in that groove. It’s unnerving when it lets loose at speed. I placed a row of snaps under the top of the frame. No problems since.

It’s flat glass. Any decent glass shop can cut you one. Just make sure they know it’s for a windshield. No big deal. I just had one made. The glass shop suggested tinted glass. It’s different.

Fingers crossed for you.

Looks like a Classic Motor Carriages or Fiberfab. It’s not a MiGi, Allison, Classic Roadsters Grand Duchess or BCW.
Looks like a nice viable car.

Michael Ketcham started the topic New engine installed-back on the road! in the forum General Discussion 3 years ago
It’s been just over a year since my engine died on the way to a car show in Cambridge Ohio. It took a couple of months to find a replacement engine. I finally found one at a salvage yard with 14000 miles on it. The manager provided a video of the car running (light front end damage) and I bought the engine, carburetor, automatic transmission,…[Read more]

I have no idea. A couple bucks, I assume.

billnparts started the topic Emblem in the forum General Discussion 3 years ago
While cleaning out a corner of my basement I came across the original Fiberfab emblem that fits to the bullnose on the TD grille shell. Never used, brand new. Cover the postage and it’s yours. First come, first served.
