Great story & sounds hella fun.
I’m gonna reiterate John’s concern with using PVC pipe in an automotive engine setting. That stuff melts at about 150C. Easy to form and bend with a heat gun! So watch carefully.In case this rig gives you trouble, I have in my possession a Holley/Weber progressive intake that includes the stock heat riser provision.… -

Glad that’s sorted, Jack. And yeah, sounds like the early stock gears, which work fine,

If you go Boxster make sure it had the IMS bearing replaced already.
If it were me I’d look (again) at the Honda S2000. Cool car, not common, loads of fun. Try to find one that some boy racer has never messed with. They’re out there.Fox-body Mustangs I never loved, though some people do love them and they make a pretty stout hotrod. If I had one,… -

I’m glad they chose a couple shots with you and your car, Vicenc. Couple years ago they had Bridget in the slideshow. It was a proud moment.

Key word, my man: BOGUS.
I read a story once wherein a TD replica owner showed up at a British car show and was waved through the gate to enter. “It’s a German spy,” he told the uncomprehending dude-at-the-gate.Supposedly won an award. -

I’d go $1,000. If he’d deliver.
Basically, this is Bill Ascheman’s car, de-tuned. Or a nice load of spares for Bill! -

Yes, let’s once again flex our bogus British muscle, stand tall for the Allies, stiff upper lip & all that rot. 🙂

Great story, Jack. My only regret is that we never got to drag race. Pretty sure you’d have beat me, but one never knows!
Guessing you kept the transmission. Any idea what’s in that? To stand up to the 2332, it’s probably well-beefed up. What RPM were you running at 60 mph in 4th? -

Probably Saturday–but that’s “banquet day” with the whole Speedster ensemble. In recent years we’ve done a TD-only meet at Richard Wobby’s camper. Dude is awesome, as is his wife. If they don’t make it we should still continue the tradition somehow.

No doubt, men. My problem is income. If I retire I won’t have any. And, as you point out, the relationship between work and income, these days, is practically inverse.

Happy new year to you all! Heading out to a resort tomorrow with the missus–and not with the TD–despite the temps round here. Resolutions are to get in shape, finish the back yard, tone up and sort Bridget, and find a new career.

Incredibly, Moss is actually cheaper for the TD-style repros. Item 53 appears to be the full set–both outside handles, inside strikers and mechanism, for $260 plus shipping.

Just turned this pic–originally 5.6 mb, into a 1.3 mb jpg that I saved as a 415kb file to upload here. Took about six seconds. Still looks pretty great.
