Hope he's changed that tyre now!

I hope he has changed all 4 as old rubber is not good and looks like it has been dragged out and started with little prep :o

I wouldn't say that?

Anyone who sees my car would probably think the same... if only they knew :lol:

That rear tyre looks a little big though, and not sure the rear wheel should have that much negative camber :shock:

Got to admit your Marina drives and is in better condition mechanically than it is body wise but I'd rather have a rough looking car than wont let me down than a great looking car than lets you down on a journey,I remember looking at an American Buick at a show knebworth that looked immaculate but on leaving the show field the front suspension gave way leaving it stranded by the side of the road all that glitters is not gold the main reason i've not painted the blaze coupe aster 22 years off the road thought better to drive for a year and see what wears out first then get her painted when I know she's reliable that and I prefer to drive em rather than just look at week eh josh

Josh, your car has not got a flat tyre though! And we all no you have replaced most of the moving bits now :wink:
This guy looks like his has just been pulled out the garage to me but I may be wrong, lets hope so for his / her sake.

It's got one with a leaky valve though :lol:

I must say though whilst mine is currently very tatty it is also very solid considering, the chassis isn't the patchwork quilt I have seen on some Marinas!

There is around 150 miles between those photos and only 24hrs or so apart (maybe) My guess he sorted the tyre issue out inbetween.

I'm worried how low it's sitting at the back :lol:

I blame saggy old leaf springs :wink: Think Eamonn had the boot full too :lol:


If you have a look through 'Morris Marina' on Flickr, Tony, your saloon has been spotted a lot!
