Thanks all for the responses. Ray, I did see that body shell in the classifieds. Not sure if it came with fenders, but maybe things like that can be acquired seperately.

 

Ed, I’ve never heard of TD kit based on the MGB either, but I’m pretty sure it can be done as a scratch build. I forgot the carbs for the XPAG are on the other side of the engine. They do make a crossflow head for the MGB that puts the carbs on that side, but it’s pricey. And fitting that forward air filter under the hood will be a challenge in any case, but only one of many I’m sure.

 

I really didn’t know so many different TD replicas were made. I’ll need to do some research. There’s a guy in my neighborhood who’s got a faded old red TD replica under a tarp in his driveway, kind of pushed off into the bushes. Doesn’t look like it’s been driven in years. Not sure what kind it is. I’m thinking about leaving a note on it to see if he’s willing to sell it.
