I sold my MGTD. I want to thank everyone that provided sound advise during the rebuild. I learned alot. I still have a brand new set of stock VW 4 lug wheels for sale in the box. I paid 250 for all 4 and will take 190. I live in Bradenton FL so let me know if you are near and would like to purchase them. Please send a personal message.
Thanks again,RickyDave,
the wire wheels are not new. They came on it already. I painted them grey with some black on the inside. They are 14″ 4X100.Thanks Royal. I feel a little better about giving it a go. I do like how the wire wheels look.
Royal,
You appear to have the same exact whire wheels and tire size that i have. Do you have any problem with balancing them? If i were to keep mine i would need new tires since mine came drie rotted from sitting for years. I am afraid to do that and still find out that they would not be balance. You are using tubes in your right?And I just f kind out that my MGTD uses 4×100. I could sure use them but live in Florida so can’t pick them up
Davearoy,
Sound like we are on the same path. I also put new floor pans, new brake line and brakes, cables, and now i am waiting on some new stock wheels. Please post pictures when you get your painted. I would like to paint mine also. Not sure what you did for the pans but I sprayed mine with bed liner called Raptor. Great stuff and give it texture.I am in the Bradenton area. Let me know if you are close byQuick follow-up question. Was i right to go with the 4.5 or should i have gone with the 5.5?
ThanksThanks for Reply. A Vintage VW place just figured out that it is some kind of regulator that was made for a rear defogger as far as the packaging he had. It actually had 5 wires connections and the one on mine was so rotted out that it only had 3 left. He believes that it was probably left over from the donor vehicle which may explain why it was not connected to anything.
This is what is left of the old relay. As you can see there was no floor pan left before. It was Fred Flinstone style.Welcome, I am still bringing mine back. I have learned so much from this site. I am close to getting the body back on and getting Miss Mary on the road. Enjoy
painted the pans with Raptor Bedliner Spray. They came out great. I also moved the Ebrake lines as recommended.
I will take them. I d9 not have any for my car and it would save me a lot in restoring her. Do you have a paypal account. I can send you the money that way if you do. Let me know.
Ok thanks for the input. I always like to get some input from those of you who have already been through restoring a td.
good progress so far. Got the old pans off and did a little sand blasting. I am going to use the por 15 for the chassi once i get it all cleaned up. Got the new brake lines ready. This is really fun. I am enjoying and learning so much as i go alongwhat gauge pans did you go with and are you still happy with that decision? I am getting ready to do mine and it look like it will cost me 169 apeace for 18 guage with another 112 for shipping. I can get some thinner one locally for 124 appeace no shipping and save a little. Just wondering if i need to spend the extra money.
Will do Mustang. I plan on doing as much as i can while I have the body off, new brake line, cable and so on. I am going to sand blast the chassi and undercoat it all. I saw something about a hydrolic emergency brake. Has anyone tried that?
