She’s sold.   

BRAVO! These are the stories that I like to read….particularly at Christmas time. God bless you and your organization for what you do.

He said 24 inch TIRES, not wheels.

Derek, thanks for the updated information and picture. At this time, I don’t plan on making side curtains (or windows). The top I am planning is pretty much for keeping me out of sun (doctors orders). If I do decide to make side windows, your plan looks good.How heavy is your top? I am hoping to be able to make it light enough that I can take…[Read more]

Great looking dash!! How did you cut out the glove box door?

Thanks for the pictures, Derek. I haven’t started on my top yet….still collecting ideas. I think using the vinyl top material hanging over the outside edge and utilizing the convertible top snaps is a great idea….I was wondering how to fasten the back of the top to the body and I think you nailed it. As far as finishing the inside, I plan…[Read more]

I hope he does get $20K for his car. That means mine has quadrupled in value and then some. I wish mine got 45-50 mpg. I’m a little leery of the title being held by the Police Department, though. Things that make me go hmmmmmmm.

Great! Looking forward to it.

Like my Dad used to say, “A little bit’s OK, more is better, too much is just enough”.

The Gas Monkey MG is on Ebay right now. Bid is at $2800 currently with about 5 days to go.

Derek, I just picked up a fresh box of 50 pair. That should be enough. By the way, why not just put yourself out of your misery and sell me your top. Seems it would be easier to fix yours than for me to make a new one. I’m just sayin”.

The chip they are referring to is the chip in the cars computer system that control fuel delivery, timing, shift points (if it’s an automatic) etc. These chips are available for a variety of applications and are a common modification made to todays cars. The nice thing about changing the chip is that you can change it back to stock in a minute or so.

Thanks for the tip….I’ll definitely jot that down under “Important Things To Ponder”.

Well, after adjusting my shifter plate, I got the old girl so she will change gears correctly, so all is right with the world. Now on to the next project….gonna build a fiberglass top. After making some sketches on toilet paper while lounging in the library, I think I have come up with a workable plan that should be pretty easy. (where have I…[Read more]

Thanks, I’ll try that. When I rebuilt the shifter I added an adjustable fitting to the shift rod where it attaches to the coupler in the rear. I might try tweaking that a bit as well.

Well, I’m certainly glad to hear that. I was dangerously close to taking my freshly sharpened hatchet and chopping a hole in the back of my TD. I will sleep soundly tonight.

An update….I replaced the front bushing with a new one and also the bracket that holds it. I made a new shift rod with an adjustable rear fitting. Also replaced the rear coupler rubbers and installed a grade 8 3/8 bolt in place of that screwy thing with the screw going through it. I cut an access hole in the tunnel to make it easier to remove…[Read more]

My Indiana title says 1982 ASM (Assembled Vehicle).

Sorry to disappoint but the car is dark green, not black. Sort of wish it was black now.

It appears to me to be a swing axle. I see no u-joint out by the wheel.
