That’s a great addition to our parts sources Ed.Thanks.

I want to go to work with the Court wizard!!!That TD rep is beautiful!

Headlights…the shell is held on to the bracket by a single bolt running through the bracket. The shell “should” be able to slide on that bolt. So loosen it, adjust the light as necessary and tighten it up.
And you may be right about turning the rear torsion bars. Hard to say from pictures, but it is very possible the body blocks access.

Never, never, put air shocks or coil-overs on a VW. You will end up driving a block of concrete.
Got that? Never!
And you could always adjust the headlights Ed.

Updated the list. The map will be done shortly.Hope the move goes smoothly Mel.

I own a Duchess, but my wings’ attachments do not match your written
description.I’d like to see a picture too.

Pretty sure he means a boat supply store. 🙂

Hey Richard,
I looked at the Glockler. Cool car.

Charlie,
I’ve checked with some other sources and cannot find much about Design Classics. Here’s what I’ve got:
Deign Classics built replicas of the MG-TD and the 1957 Thunderbird in their Minnetonka, Minnesota factory in the early 1980s. Their MG replica was called the eMGe and fit on a VW chassis. The Teebird also bolted to a VW pan and left…[Read more]

It;s hard to tell from pictures, but in your side view, the rear of teh body does seem to be sittinga bit low.
This is going to sound like an odd question…but do the doors fit the opening correctly?
Here’s why I’m asking.
From the door openings forward, there is really no way the body can be assembled incorrectly. It all rests on the VW pan.
But…[Read more]

Hi Buddy,
Replying so you don’t think you’re being ignored.
While Mark (pinkmg) and I are listed as admins for the site, we have pretty limited privileges. We can move posts around, delete inappropriate posts, that sort of thing.
But we cannot add content to the site. Nor can we delete the literally hundreds of spammer id’s that get registered…[Read more]

See, that’s what I said!
Mark just added real knowledge to my “opinion”. Nice work Mark.

Another opinion from off our list:The shims are to correct the rocker to valve stem geometry, which probably changes because of the non-stock valve adjusters. So you might (repeat, might) need to make up custom length push rods.I’m sticking with my original opinion, you have a stock motor. I think a replacement set of stock adjusters would be fine.

This is SCAT’s description of the Ball Swivel Adjusters:These VW swivel ball adjusting screws from SCAT prevent valve stem wear
caused by the side load of cams with high lift and high valve spring
pressure in your aircooled Volkswagen…. a must for any high
performance air-cooled engine. Installation requires no special tools,
and the screws have…[Read more]

MFG is a common abbreviation for manufacturer, so I’m guessing MFGD is their abbreviation for Manufactured or maybe remanufactured.In NJ, a kit car gets titled as REC for Reconstructed.

Terrific news.
Welcome to the open road!
What is the car titled and registered as?PMOSSBERG40343.5597453704

Ouch.

Awesome!
That’s a lot of seat time for one day.
Can’t wait to hear and see all about it.
And…I can’t believe I’m a freakin’ role model. LOL!PMOSSBERG40340.4594097222

Major thread drift…but I gotta chime in anyway.I did everything in Mark’s note accept ride on the package shelf. And that’s only cause my dad always had a station wagon. So we would ride on the floor in the “way back”. And once, I rode in the little package space behind the rear seat in my friend’s mom’s VW Beetle.And I’m gonna add three…[Read more]

I’m pretty sure one of the old kit car mags did an article on them. I will have to dig through my archives.
