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]

Welcome aboard Harry! Glad to have you!

Your next purchase has to be this:

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.

OKAAAAAY……..:?

If you have all the necessary requirements; time, tools, room, ability, etc, I’d say you’ve got a great find. Even if you spend lots for the grill, engine and other bits, it would be less than most.My favorite show is ‘Wheeler Dealers’ on the Velocity channel. I love seeing them bring old beaters back to life. Edd China is a wizard!

If I’m not mistaken, is the dash on a London Roadster part of the fiberglass body?I thought about replacing mine until I took a closer look. I think the “wood” dash is either photo decal or very thin veneer.

I myself, am a figment of my own imagination…A legend in my own mind…I live in my own little world, but it’s OK they know me here…

I think when I got mine in 1995 (I was 37) it took about 50 hrs of behind the stick to get ready enough for your test. And about the same classroom time. After 10- 12 hrs you should be ready to solo.The cost then was…[Read more]

WELCOME!Glad you’re part of our group.We all like seeing pics of each others cars, and I’m sure I’m not the ONLY one who’d enjoy seeing yours, if you get a chance.Again, WELCOME!

Very nice car!The owner put a TON of effort in to it. Even with the bits still to be done, it’s still a deal.Is that a TD Replica.com badge I see on the grill?Worth buying just for THAT!:lol:
