Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Can't be more that 7 or 8 that I know of. Apparently there was one in ryde some years ago in windmill close. I know George's is on the road as he lives down my road, so not sure who the other is..Chicken Hawk wrote:Arr,i know that car to. I wonder how many Island Marinas are left? Quick tally up Ben??

Shook on a deal to buy Charlie Safari's 1750 TC Coupe.
Wrapped up a few good pieces of dash trim and put them away safe and secure in the garage.

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Had to replace the starter solenoid - the Mighty Marina wouldn't start outside work when 'her-indoors' dropped me off at lunchtime
, I managed to start the ute by using some old pliers to connect the fat wires at the solenoid and sent her off to buy a new solenoid - and not to turn off the engine!
She did as asked and when I got home a 1/2 hour faffing around and the new solenoid was fitted and ute started as normal (Probably spent 20 of those minute finding/replacing the tools I had to use

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Sold Bryan my last Marina.
Rushed out and bought 2 more!!!!
Bought a shell 5 hrs away, and Negotiated to buy a load more bits, and put them on the Shell before I get it picked up, whats the chances this van /saloon hybrid will actually run?

Didn't Kilroy say he had or was going to break one? Could be some bits there.

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Spent the day modifying a Mk1 rear valance to fit my Ital estate and welded it on. Much better than the collection of holes arranged amongst metal that was there....
The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....
Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Damn Mike, I need a MK1 smooth valance!!
