What did you do to your Marina today?

Yes - very good pump indeed. You would hardly think it possible.

I shall indeed be trying a bit of air pressure - but it needed to come out to do it anyway - and the car is rego'd - so I didn't want to waste any time..

If I use ENOUGH air pressure I might get a 10 gallon tank.!

Cleaned off some of the dirt from the wet journey to the IOW - went out on a nice drive all afternoon and then put car to bed

Cheers

They fit very well to when I can be bothered to line up the white stripe and I never put the nearside mirror in the mirror pod as it gets hard to remove then but keeps the dust of it

Paul,I spy with my little eye,a tin of roses,a tin of cadbury celebrations and a 25 kg bag of mastercrete,anything else anybody can see?
The reason for my post,where did you get the cover? it fits so well.

I can assure you the tins are empty (Not all of them eaten by me

)
I am hoping the concrete is still OK as I have to fix a small wall my son has demolished

There is a lot in the garage including 2 step ladders and the ladder hanging over the car is a 2 section 4M youngmans (Ladder porn - possibly). This is held up very securely

About 3 or 4 gear boxes and a back axle and prop.

Lots of measuring to make sure I could drive the car in without any dents

The cover was made for me by Classic Additions
Was not cheap but does fit nice.

Wanted a large Logo but that was just to much so I may add something later

Oil on the floor as well

Just a drip or five

You need more stuff to make it like home Ben, looks lost in there.
you need more projects.
I can't swing a cat 180 degree's without knocking its block off in my garage

I really don't need any new projects! I like the rooooooom! I may have to build a false floor to store my goodies :-)

Well a pump sucked it in - another pump could just as easily pop it back out again! (Just don't stand near it when doing so, drape a few wet sacks over it while doing this)

If you fitted a reversible pump to the tank of an Aussie Marina, could you make it play a Stairway to Heaven like Rolf Harris's wobble board?

Last night I converted Reynards headlights to Halogens however one of the adjusters on NS bowl rotted out when setting it up on the beam setter so a quick bodge was required at work to get the light shining in the right direction. Second hand bowl dug out so I will pop back to work later and fit the new bowl! What a difference with Halogens lol

Post by **MarinaCoupe** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 2:37 pm

I agree about the halogens, it the difference between day and night isn't it? (pun intended)

ado28 · Post by **ado28** » Sat Oct 13, 2012 3:11 pm

Indeed Chris lol. I converted the mini last year and as I'm using Reynard as a daily it would have been rude not to convert that too. I just bought mini halogens and they are curved too so they still look the part. £25 delivered so I can complain and that included the bulbs too!
