Danish Marina TC coupe

Post by Brynk » Sun Nov 06, 2016 9:09 am

My buddy owns this Marina TC coupe, and I'm helping him restore it.

This two pictures from the for sale add.

This is what it looks like after a little tinkering in the shop

This is some of the cutting needed on the floor part.

Then I made this at work.

And offered it up to the car

Image

Just to realize that we could not weld it in yet.
And then we removed the nice black interior, so it wouldn't get hurt when welding on the car.

And found this behind the back seat

Masking tape and a hand written "Denmark". Nice touch.

Can this tell anything about the cars past life?

Happy motoring, and happy wrenching (is it happy spannering in the U.K. Image)

Looks like a great project, what year is it? Nice bit of fabrication work too. Keep the updates coming

Title says 1973, and a guy commented on my introduction thread "prob build in January 1972"

Haha, yes definitely built in the first couple of weeks of Jan 72. Sometimes they sat around for a while, especially if being exported. One of mine was built before yours but wasn't registered for the road until May 72.
