Hello everyone,
Well, it's that time of year again, I've been itching to have a fiddle with the Marlin and MOT it, but I put it off for the winter. I had a long weekend off this weekend and the weather looked good too, so I sorted out a speedo cable and after 20 minutes of contortions I had it fitted, then I fitted a nice new pair of front indicators as the Aluminium bodies on the old set had started to fall apart, then off to the MOT station, and I was very pleased it passed with no advisories, considering I'd had the motor in a 1000 bits, I even got complimented on the respray ( I must admit though, it could be better, but thats another story ) So, all in all a good Marlin day, I just need to sort out the worn SUs ( Throttle spindles are worn ) I have just received another set from ebay, so once I've sorted them out I'll fit them. I might mention that the Marlin is nicer to drive on a fast road with the MGB overdrive box fitted rather than the worn Marina box.
