that’s not a car, it’s just the kit. I’ve been trying to get some sort of pictures of it for a while, now, but, no luck.I have purchased large items from all over this land, but, I’m not about to start any type of negotiations of something that I can’t even…[Read more]

I tried to get to the pictures, and, didn’t have any luck.can you post a direct link?also, do you have any paperwork that may have come with it, relating to parts? mine was titled, originally, in 1978, and, haven’t been able to find out much about these cars.

it must be in pretty good shape.

what you gonna be looking to get for it?

well, was able to at least look at the rear set up, and, you’re right, they are different, so, when I get it up on the lift, it’s gonna be a picture fest, and some clean up.heater cable disconnected, odd bolts holding the bottom of the shocks in, from what it looks like, and, the PO installed some copper tubing for a throttle cable casing. need…[Read more]

drove mine about 100 feet, 68 degrees and sunny, with a stiff wind, but had chores to do in the shop.got to adjust the clutch a little, but, still have the brakes to do on my B, so, it has to wait.

guess it’s the touch of a newbie.can’t wait until I can get it up on my lift and take some pictures.gonna try to get the brakes done on my B today, so, I can take it off the lift.kinda want to get it back on the road.

i’ll check on that later today. thanks

I’ve enjoyed the reading on here concerning the vw suspension, but, does anyone here have any comprehensive information on the tube frame suspension shock replacement?mine has the tube frame suspension, with coil over shocks, and, has some rear end sag that I want to remove.can I just swap the fronts for the rears, or, do I need to purchase some…[Read more]

thanks,it’s for the fiber fab car that my boss bought.he came by the shop for a little bit, today, but, we didn’t do any work to it.my top does need a little work, but, is overall, in pretty good shape, so, I’m gonna run the one I have, for a while. bigger fish to fry.i’ll be waiting to hear how your cover turns out.thanks

ok, sorry I hijacked my own thread, so, let’s put it back on topic, and, i’ll start a new one for my suspension.thanks for all the great information.

it has the coil over shocks on it, now, so, I guess a replacement is in order.any guess as to what a good replacement would be?adjustable?what if I swap the fronts to the rear. wouldn’t it soften up the front, and stiffen the rear, due to the weight difference?

mine seems to be just a little low in the rear, by the way that the rear wheels sit, without anyone in it, plus, it seems to bottom out pretty easily.I drove it a few days ago, and, that was the feeling I got from the ride.

looks like that what we’ll have to do.he’s working on getting it road ready, and, mine, pretty much, is, other than a good cleaning, but want to get it up on my lift to do some checking, before I get out on a trip.trying to finish up on my v6 MGB, so, I can get it off my lift. does your car have coil over shocks?

welcome to the group. I’m a newbie, myself, and, have received lots of great information here. 

thanks, let me know how it goes with the amish maker. we’re not near the coast, and, his last experience with a local upholstery shop didn’t turn out well.I saw somewhere here, about how to make our own bows, and, also, do you think the top from my London roadster would fit?I do know that if he could even get a cheap used one to use as a…[Read more]

he printed the manual to have on hand, and was hoping to find something to just get him by until he was able to do better.

that’s why I had the fiber added, just a little extra for peace of mind.

I’ve had a tractor trailer truck in mine, before I got the lift, haven’t had any problems.
