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]

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”!

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.

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:
