I don’t know of a source for replacement body panels. Do you know the manufacturer of your replica? The parts don’t necessarily interchange between them.
The good news: it’s only fiberglass. Some cloth, resin and a squeegee, then some sandpaper, and you’ll be good as new.

I love the idea of the Kimber Run but I think Oct 23 might clash with our now-annual VA Beach Fly-in. What am I bid?
As for the Gentlemen–I was thinking go and watch, not race. Looks like a scene.

Pre 1934 to race…not to watch

Today’s Mini Cooper has nothing in common with the Austin 7 (aka Austin Morris Mini) of 1959-1999 other than the name. While the original classic Mini was almost unchanged for it’s 40 years of production by various British companies (Austin, Morris, British Leyland, BMC, and Rover..and I probably forgot a few) today’s Mini (BMW), while a fine…[Read more]

White lab coats with goggles and snoopy hats would be cool?? (With “TD or not TD?” stenciled on the back)

I mean to do it every year the past few years and always forget. It’d be way cool to show up as a “club” in more-or-less period dress, English style.

There was a guy who put a Willy’s Jeep engine in a TD. Similar to a Chevy 6.
I wouldn’t do it though, unless I had the engine and trans and just HAD to do it, you know?
Clifford makes (or used to make) hop-up parts for the L6 but all those were downdraft type so they don’t solve the clearance problem. The exhaust manifold and the oil pan might…[Read more]

It is not unusual for old clutches that have sat for a long time to stick. This might take some doing. Some people have broken them free by putting the car in high gear and rocking it.
Re: The clutch adjustment: You can turn the screw at the clutch arm in the transaxle. You can unclamp and make the loop a little bigger. You can do those both. Do…[Read more]

Great job, Bill! Looks like you were carrying a lot of speed into the “oh shit” section of the course, but you just went through nice and easy. Sorry I missed it.

Bill, that looks like a nice smooth run. eh? Unless my memory has totally left me, it looks like this run up Pagoda is up the back way. Looks like there are fewer twisties allowing you to get up to a higher speed. ????
Thanks..
