I will admit that I do miss the MG, but our new( 1963 ) falcon convertible is fun to ride around in too! Besides, We have visitation rights from the folks we sold it to.Greg

I used Lokar headlight braids. Expensive, but VERY niceGreg

Any competent windshield shop should be able to cut a windshield to fit.Greg 

We got near enough to our price to let it go, and I made sure the new guy, Mike, knows that this is the place to come for great advice and encouragement.The Falcon came today, and while it needs a bit more work than we would have hoped for, it wasn’t that far from what we expected. We both think that our 3K budget is ample enough to make her shine…[Read more]

Luvmytd is NOT biased. He is VERY old, and a little dotty, so we cut him some slack We all know who has the sweetest MG in The VillagesGreg

That’s the car. My wife and I like to travel around the state for the car shows, and frankly, my bride says the MG can be scary on the highway. And since we ALL know that if SHE ain’t happy, you won’t be happy, she’s getting her way. We bought a 1963 Falcon Convertible, red and white.

This event shows that there are some really great people out there willing and able to help when you need it the most. That said, a $20 and a cell phone will almost always get you home.Greg

You can get the rollaround dollies at Summit Racing. See me when you get hereGreg

I have the Ford engine, and I also have to fill slower than normal. Not bad, just slower. The location of the tank and the ensuing bends in the fill tank are the cause for the slow fill. Also, there is no vent line from the tank to the fill cap, so the tank is always “chugging” as it fills. We had to add one to the Shelby to eliminate this same…[Read more]

Have you checked out Daytona wires?Greg

Got My new grill badge yesterday! Nearby is a shop that caters to the big rigs, and they sell a chrome bracket shaped like a P upside down, in the exact size of my badge bar, and… they sell them in two sizes!I think chrome will work very nicely!Greg 

I have NEVER had a door pop open, sorry if I gave that impression, but I am unhappy with the door lock assembly. And since I have been building/restoring, or otherwise altering cars for over 50 years, I am confident that I can handcraft whatever parts I will need. At first blush, it does not look that difficult, but then again, neither did getting…[Read more]

Try this link. I ordered the Manual, small unit http://www.thehoffmangroup.com/autoloc/product.lasso?prodinc =bearclawdoorGreg

The issue is that the bolt, that part that actually holds the door closed, is VERY stiff, and will not engage the striker plate easily. Forcing the issue by slamming the door will only crack the fiberglass, which we all know is VERY bad. I ordered the new latches yesterday, along with the new striker plates. These actuators are well known in the…[Read more]

Nice car, but 60K? Just how much of a market do they think there is? I think that those of us that own MG kit cars now, either VW or front engine, own the REAL MG kit cars. We care for them, baby them, take pride in them. Buying a 60K MG replicar vs a new corvette…hmmmm.Greg

Just got back from the carribean. I really missed the cold weather in Florida, but we managed to get by. Greg 

Mine is on the left. See picture

Speed is all about the amount of hp that reaches the rubber. I was turning low 9’s with my hemi, but ate rubber like crazy. It always comes to hp to weight and delivering the hp to the road.I love my MG and the close ratio 4 speed makes it fun to drive.Greg
