8) when its been butchered to make it something it isnt ( or never will be.) money time and effort would be better used making your marina ORIGINAL and mint.....a blue mumford springs to mind.

Yes I too own a Mumford, which is in need of some tlc, I am thinking of thinning out the fleet this year & ending up with one very nice Marina for sunny days :)

Time is my biggest enemy I'm afraid, had the lad since 1989, not much progress since 1993 though :(

2008 the year of progress (I hope) :D

Your not alone not having enough time to do what ideally should be done to the cars :)
Remember when you were a young lad, fresh driver-licence, crappy old car and all the time in the world to use on it to improve it , or at least get it running for that weekends :)



Well the cars haven't changed to much ... :)

re- KIT CARS

Post by The original northen boy » Wed Jan 16, 2008 8:27 pm

Bri,
just read you comment on kit cars,whats your viewpoint on "Nell" for instance? She has had all new interior,new engines,new gear boxes,new glass,running gear,new wiring loom,head lights,new carpets and wheels albeit from leyland/BL cars... :?

Is she still a Marina Pick-up or a assembled look alike, in other words a KIT CAR! :?

Nell

Post by marinabrian » Wed Jan 16, 2008 11:39 pm

All of Nell's gear was Marina sourced so, no not a kit car, and as I remember "NOTAHYBRID" 8)

Beckett Brothers, just too controversial by far :lol: :lol:
