Humm you are boring me Brian with your negative rants :roll: I've been building modified cars for a while now and have quite a fair understanding of tolerances!

Nah didn't get the diff but it was only a spare for my other rebuilt spare! But may as well put the Hauser Racing Capri 2.8 axle/LSD on for now aye!

Don't you mean being a donkeyman? Labourer? Dilutey? :roll:

Can't wait to see it running, see what investing 4 grand plus, in a Marina turns out like :lol:

But don't forget £472 worth of chips will blunt SLK's performance somewhat :roll:

He He He :lol:

P.S. do they charge 1p for salt down your way?

As for modified Marinas,why post negative all the time,your beloved standard cars are so far away from perfect,I know I have one.....get over it.

The result of wasting £5000 + on a marina

Post by marinabrian » Tue Feb 05, 2008 10:44 pm

Every nut, bolt, washer, seal, infact everything that was available to buy new from the dealers at the time of building........

... and what was the resultant comment " It looks like a hearse"

Broad shoulders are required, just don't take yourself seriously :lol:

Have fun, that's ALL that really matters 8)
