Hi Mindseyeblind…..
This sounds like content Frankie should put on the TD History – Replica page.
There is an entry for Daytona Migi, but no content.
Frank is very involved in the VW world, but sadly no longer has his TD replica. He created this web site and forum and is still the administrator. He stops by regularly. If we are patient, I am…[Read more]

If you already have a source for VDO Heritage, the sending units above should work with them.
 

Great info mindseye! I luv it…an antique kit car. 🙂

Welcome Walt!
As Rringo predicted, I copied your posting to a new thread so no one will miss you.
Your pictures did nto load correctly in your initial posting. But they are in the Colorado photo gallery. Nice looking car!
When you get a chance, please go to the Car Registry in the General Discussion forum and post the info about you and your car.…[Read more]

Hi Colorado!
Head to the MG Registry thread and give us all the info!
 

I have air horns on my Duchess too. And they are external, mounted on the left side panel. I want to be heard!

Hi W Lee,I put convex mirrors on both fenders. Moss Motors has them. JC Whitney usually has them too.Once they are adjusted and you get used to them, you have a pretty good view to each side.And a quick tip to actually getting replies to your questions…Keep each thread on topic. If you have a new question, create a new thread with the…[Read more]

I’m catching up on mail and various forums, having been completely off the matrix for a week. I’m reading through the above and am not sure if we’re still talking about a car or a “significant other”.One thing is clear…Mel sure does “luv” “her”!

Mark is correct. Most of the wind is coming from behind. The windshield creates a vacuum and the air rushes over the top of the glass, and makes a u-turn into the back of your head.I find the wings smooth some air going down the sides. But Dan R is on target…the wind is part of the fun. If you need to stay covered (like I do!) do what the…[Read more]

Mel,The car looks awesome!The center zip is normal for a tonneau cover, so if only the driver is in the car, you can keep the passenger side covered (and dry if the weather turns bad)

The number stamped into the pan is the VIN for the donor car. Once you find the VIN on your chassis, here is a VW Type 1 VIN Decoder table:

Bookends! Great cars!
Head on over to the Car Registry and post the requested info!

I have a set of five in decent shape. They are locking style. You bolt a bracket to the wheel, put the locking cover on, then the basket. The center hub screws into the bracket.
I am traveling. I will send you photos when I return home.PMOSSBERG40006.4750231481

Yup, There you go. A Daytona. The grill and rear engine cover help confirm that.
I’m curious about the “copyright” plate above the serial number.
It looks like one of those Dymo (?) labels. You know, the ones that press invividual letters into an adhesive backed strip. After it was put on it was painted over. I have never seen a copyright tag on…[Read more]

Obvious, but check the oil level too.
It is not unsual for oil pressure to drop below 20 pounds at idle when an engine is hot. Do you have a pressure gauge? Or just a warning light?
What viscosity are you using?
 

Hmmmm, that’s not very reassuring 😉
Don, get thee over to the registry and post the owner and vehicle details for me!

Hi myth
Never heard of anything with a similar name. Post some larger shots, including several angles of the car. And I’m sure we’ll be ableto figure out what she is.
And while you’re at it, post the details requested in the Car Registry thread and I’ll add you to the registry list.
 

The actual registry is in a thread titled MG TD Replica Registry.
Please click here MG TD REPLICA REGISTRY (it should open in a new window) and reply to that threadI added that thread after I wrote the “Introductory” note.Thanks!PMOSSBERG39989.3937384259

You’re a lucky man Gil!

Ron,Where are you? Any interstate highways nearby? All Interstates are marked off in miles and tenths. Most state highways are marked too.
