Used the marina as a wedding car to take the bride and her dad to Tonbridge castle for the ceremony

Fitted some seat-covers to it, nothing wrong with the original seats, no rips etc but too hot in summer, too cold in winter.

So got a pair of Warehouse low-backed seat-covers with a woven striped pattern, reduced to $10 from $19.99 :mr green:

Looks smart and 'er-indoors likes the comfort!

Same place the rest are coming from :wink: It's not for sale, Paul Utting has bought it and it is going to be another daily Marina for him in case anything ever happens to his Limeflower DL. Go and save the Wild Moss one, I know it isn't an Island car but it is still special 8-)

Cut back some paint with 1200 grit paper and compounded it with G3 to see if I could make the paint look a little better until it gets a re paint :

Will go to a 2000 paper next to smooth it out a little.

Took Ducky for her MOT today, flew through with no advisories. Braking efficiency was 82%, not bad for drums with no servo.
