That’s terrific news Stephen!!! Congrats!

Awesome news! Congrats!

Will be arriving early afternoon on Thursday.

But with the forecast as it is, I am very likely going to slap the show field sticker on my Volvo C70. I’ve seen a fair number of daily driver cars coming form the Speedster group. Sad, I guess. But will still be good fun with a great group of people.

And while not TDr focused, Finish Line has a lot of bits and pieces that work on our cars.

Latches, mirrors, gauges, switches, dash stuff (including indicator lights )

Sun visors? Really? Wear a cap with a visor! 🙂

You could try fabbing brackets to attach to the top of the windscreen frame. Or if you are very very careful, attach to the trailing edge of the frame. You don’t have much room to work with there before you hit glass!

Great progress Jack!

And I saw yet another phrase I will never be able to type, “I ran it through my surface plane.”

Because, of course! Everyone has a surface plane in their garage! 😉

Hi Dave,

I do hope you find someone here able to help you out. But I don’t want you to get your hopes up. We do not have many forum members from your side of the Atlantic.

Great progress! But…

“Shaft Stretcher”?  😯 Heck, who doesn’t know someone with a shaft stretcher?  😈

There are probably a thousand different answers to this question. And reading between the lines, I think you answered your own question. 🙂

You need to know reasonable market values for the vehicle you are bidding on; and have a maximum bid in…[Read more]
