That's like a garage within a garage or extra dry

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Left it uncovered overnight so I could clean it today (got a bit muddy yesterday so didn't want to stick a cover back over it).
Typically a bird crapped on it last night and by the time I got out there to clean it, it had already eaten into the paint

Mumford looking lovely as ever Gary
We did go out for a spin yesterday- went to grab a few jerry cans of fuel and to fill the "in case of emergency" barrel of water for the lorry. Not needed this time, the new radiator has done the trick. I need to change the Marina radiator, I suspect it'll be easier than doing the lorry's one
Just went for a trundle round town then a bit of practice manoeuvering on an industrial estate. Thoroughly agreeable way to spend a morning

Good job you can't see the front ones, they've got about half an inch of brake dust on them

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
She doesn't look any different clean!
I've just chucked some water over her and got the scotchbrite and cream cleaner out on the wheels, it's a bit of an improvement at least. Next time we get a nice evening I might even break the t- cut out

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Your one might, yours actually has a paint finish
Mine is hand painted and a bit reluctant to shine. It's also got several large primer patches- need to get a rattle can of Tundra to make it look a bit more presentable short term. The replacement panel pile is growing larger though

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
I love this forum...
How much would you be after for it Ben? I don't *think* I need a passenger side (whereas I do need a driver's, but Lee has helped out there
) but who knows what Frank will find when he starts digging, so it might be handy to have- if it don't find it's way on to Mud then I'm sure Frank or someone could find a safe corner for it until someone else does.
If it turns out to be a driver's side with the full arch down to sill level (Lee's only covers the back half of the arch) then definitely interested as that whole arch/ quarter looks to be a sea of filler...

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
I'll have to get my dad to dig it out as it's at my parents place 'oop country' and let you know more. From memory, it might not cover the entire arch to sill level.. It's been 3 years since I last saw it.
Leave it with me, I'm sure we can sort out a reasonable price/deal.

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
Any which way, let us know 'cos I'd rather have one in stock that doesn't get used than turn one down and need it.
Am sure we can decide on a suitable contribution to the V8 coupe gearbox fund

Re: What did you do to your Marina today?
I decided to fire up Reynard for some more action so popped his freshly charged battery on and as usual he burst in to life at the first turn. Next was to try and do another repair of his exhaust as I still haven't managed to source a new one. Out came the welder and the hole on his middle silencer was welded up. The whole system is pretty rotten but at least this will buy me some more time until I can manage to get a new one.
Beauty with brains behind it!
