Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

New k&n filter turned up today, waiting on a few other parts to come over the next few weeks. Will be calling the trimmers tomorrow to see how the new seats are coming along.

Updates for this week

Car painting coming on nicely, new custom seats arrived too (great news that they match the carpet, are the same width as the originals and the seat runners are spaced the same as the existing ones so no carpet mods needs)

Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

Thanks for comments, Yes I'm looking forward to getting it back so I can build it up, tune the engine and do a few mechanicals before 2015.

The link to the seats is provided below, I chose not to have the head rests, so hopefully the existing tonneu will still fit.

Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

Hi, once I have the othes in and I'm happy with them then I'm sure I'd be happy for the original ones to go to a new home.

Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

I've checked in the garage I also have:
Pair of rear arches (I believe you want these)
2 pairs of alloy inner wings
2 pairs of front suspension covers
2 LWB doors
2 SWB doors
Dash top
Front scuttle panel (fibreglass bit the wipers come through)
Alloy single piece bonnet (dented but straightenable with a good pressbreak)
Possible have the original wheels available although they would need a refurb, but might keep them as spares
Front headlight cross bar in OK condition

Along with loads of other spares I'm likely to keep such as a new radiator, steering rack, wiring loom, servo/master cylinder and 2 more spare wings.
