LEO WELCOME TO THE FORUM I’VE ADD YOU TO THE MAP.  

Nice car! Now the REAL fun begins…Making it YOUR car…a TDReplica.com and a few other badges, vanity plates,lots of shiny bits from http:////mgmagicclassicmotorparts.com, etc &etc… Go NUTS!I thought of mine as a blank slate…What I could do to make it MY car, not “the OTHER GUY’S” car I bought…

Here’s another one I found while perusing the potentials out there. I think it may be a FiberFab.Someone might be interested. From the name of the website, they may be open for offers.http:////www.allcollectorcars.com/for-sale/1952-MG-TD/1528229/

Here is the link for where to find both.This will fit just about everything.Hope it helps!http://www.mgmagicclassicmotorparts.com/windshield-wiper-arm-blade-complete-set-of-twoTake Care!

I agree, it’s a beauty.If I had the room, I could put it with my RED LR with WHITE roof and have book ends!:lol: I hope he’s able to sell it.

I agree, nice job all the way around. What did you do with the radio? Mine was kaput, so I took it out, made a small wooden box mounted it to the back of the dash, made a door and chromed around the edge, like you did, but I think yours came out nicer than mine. Where did you get the chrome trim for the edge? I used some from my local DIY auto…[Read more]

Sounds like lazy, careless workers to me.In a previous life I worked in a tire shop and we followed ALL (and I mean FOLLOWED) the rules.Inflated in a safety cage, checked pressure, etc. We would check the pressure four or five times before we put them back on the vehicle.Always used the  factory recommended pressures.At a safety meeting one time,…[Read more]

I got the same email. He said $1.00 over reserve would buy it, so I take it $4501 and it’s yours. Current bid is up to $4250.The wonky gas tank alone is enough to make me think twice.(actually not needing a second TDr, living in Illinois, not having storage…[Read more]

This was one of the first books I purchased.It is BY FAR the easiest to use( and worth getting just for the entertainment value!:lol:)Can also be ordered through Barnes and Noble.

Glad to meet you!There are lots of “shade tree” as well as actual mechanics here who will be more than happy to help with you questions. Even more valuable is moral and spiritual support!There are dozens of books providing instruction on working on VW’s out there. I’ve purchased many online as well as my local Barnes and Noble. All you need is a…[Read more]

I was told by a local mechanic my LR would probably need a new paint job.After watching some programs on the Velocity channel that they were able to buff out the surface oxidation, I thought I’d try it myself.I purchased a random orbital from an auto store and some highly recommended buffing compound, took a DEEP breath and hit the power button.I…[Read more]

Welcome to our group!Looks like you have a very nice car.If you have any questions about it, this is the place to find the answers!Post more pics when you can!Have fun with your car!

I hate to start a feud, but one’s opinion of what is “best” of one thing or an…[Read more]

I think the reason http://www.ebay.com/itm/MG-TD-Replica-/272196745465?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3f6030b8f9:g:AwgAAOSwgApW~ygM&item=272196745465  is listed for so much through a dealer, who is going to want to make as much profit as possible.It’s nice, but in MHO, $16k is too much. They may be sitting on it for a while…

Considering how nice your car is, I think your price is fair.Also you’re offering at the “best offer” option.Good luck with your sale.

I’m sure I’m going to cause a stir, but I would NOT leave out (gasp) eBay.I purchased my LR from a seller in Chicago last year, drove it home to Champaign, IL, the next day; a trip of over 150mi. I’ve never had a bit of trouble with it.Make sure you set either a minimum bid and/or a “buy it now”amount.The more pics you can post the better.Hope…[Read more]

Welcome to our group!I’ll agree, you have a very nice car. I like two tone paint schemes.It sounds like you may have some troubles that are not uncommon to middle aged cars like ours.I guess it’s just the nature of the beast.Anyway, I’m sure you’ll love your car and enjoy our “club”!

It looks nice, even though it does need a little work.Nothing that your average tinkerer couldn’t take care of.Hope whoever buys it joins us here!

And now for something completely different…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQycQ8DABvc

I’m looking forward to the coming warmer weather to go to some shows, too.Went to a European car show last year just to look around and was invited to show my car.
