I like roadworthy cars with "patina." (Handy, when you're also a cheap SOB.) Like anyone, I'd like to have a TD at a bargain-basement giveaway price that only needs relatively minor work to be roadworthy, but I don't care if it has a home paint job, a blanket seat-cushion cover, electrical gremlins, missing door panels, or 30 year-old orange shag carpeting.Of course, typically the beaters are overpriced, as the owners only see the potential of their cars, not the hundreds of hours of work and thousands of dollars in parts that it will take to realize the potential. (Not suggesting that of you, of course.) There was actually someone local selling an old VW-based TD replica in poor shape for $5,600 a couple of years ago. Gasp.

On my last outing with my '53 TD stopping the car became quite an adventure involving standing on the brakes as hard as I could and crossing my fingers that she would stop in time. My first thought was leaking rear wheel cylinders which I recently rebuilt, but on closer inspection, I found that gear oil was the culprit, leaking from the bottom of the rear axle seals. It is worse on the left, but also present on the passenger side (right). This leads me to believe that I did something wrong during my resto in replacing these seals. There is a picture in the MG shop manual of proper placement of the seal, but little description of how it is to be seated. The photo also leaves a lot to be desired in clarity. Can one of you long-time T guys help me out with an explanation of how to properly remove and refit these seals? Also can you comment on how to clean the brake pads, if that is possible? I hate to have the car off the road when the weather here in the western North Carolina mountains is so perfect for TD cruising, but to me being able to stop is almost more important than being able to go! That is especially true when returning the TD down my steep basement drive to the garage. I don't want to damage the car OR the house! Thanks in advance.

Simon and Alison Ferris, owners of the Kitzhof Inn in Dover, VT (located near the Mount Snow ski resort) are offering MG-themed weekend group driving packages. Simon and Alison are both English, and they put on a great weekend driving package, complete with authentic English meals. And Vermont, with its beautiful scenery, twisty roads, and lack of traffic is the perfect place to enjoy our cars. Take a look: http://www.kitzhof.com/pages/mg.html Here's a link to an article I wrote about the tour packages. Sorry if it's a little locally oriented.

There is no need to remove fenders etc. BUT, please be careful as the coil spring can come out with a LOT of force if you don't remove the shock properly. Make sure you support the car on the underside of the wishbones so the coil spring is still compressed when the shock is removed. Now there should be no load on the upper shock pivot bolt. The car will still be supported by the spring. Also support the brake drum so as not to strain the flexible brake hose after the kingpin is free.

What would be better financially? It all depends on how much time you're willing to spend, what condition it is in, how complete, and what you need out of it $-wise. There are always folks looking to buy up parts or projects. As far as breaking up a complete car in fair-to-good condition, I wouldn't do it. You may (may not, too) get more for individual parts if you want to spend the time to remove the part, advertise it, ship it, and go on to the next part. Often you end up with all the good stuff sold, and a pile of less desireable stuff that's too good to throw away, but no one really wants. It's your personal preference really. I vote for less trouble, sell it as a car, not parts.

It would be a shame to break a complete the car down which has title etc . . . .. But also you will find a few wanted bits do sell fairly quickly. Then you are left with lots that no one wants and you will take ages getting them sold for the same money, or less, that a one off quick sale of the car would make. Not to mention the hastle & cost of your time, adverts, price negotiations, bad cheques, and problems with packaging and posting large or heavy bits.

It would certainly bring more in running condition. The extra parts could be sold separately rather than including them with the car. We should be aware that as old car owners, we are custodians of history, and shouldn't be so greedy as to extract every last cent out of a car.

Lucas/Girling company name. I can resleeve your master cylinder in brass. Can also supply new rebuild kit. Problem I have found with the replacement master cylinders, is that they changed the internal parts. Last 4-5 years, before rebuild. The new style rebuild kits cost more than the old style rebuild kits.

At least, he says that he is. If you are looking for a reproduction tool kit, the only one that I know of is the "IN-POINT" website that Peter Thiel sent you the link for. They are in Australia There are some dealers around that sell original tool kits. They are not cheap, but they do look nicer on display. For an original, try Jerry LaBant at lmwjerry at aol.com .
