Hello all,
I've managed to find my way back to the club via help from others, my absence was not intended but caused by password issues and little time to do much about it, I'd not realised I'd been away so long ( How time passes eh ) Anyhow, I don't get much time to get the Marlin out, but when I do, It put's a smile on my face. It's a wet Sunday this morning so I might end up in the garage, it's needs a good tidy up and I'll have a practice with my spray painting, I have a few paint jobs on the Marlin to finish off and the same again on our camper van. It's suprising how many little knocks the Marlin had recieved while living in the garage, unknown persons knocking things over etc, I've just replaced the front end after replacing the worn simplex timing gears and chain for a nice new duplex set( Much tighter and quieter ) I also bought a new alternator from ebay, that too has been fitted. While it was apart I also had the old Viva radiator re cored using a 3 core matrix, I had not had issues with over heating in the past, but the old car was very close, so the new rad should sort that. The front number plate also required a good tidy up and painting, so that was also done. I don't keep the Roadster in showroom condition as I like to get out on the hilltops and have a blast, so she picks up a few marks, especially with the fibreglass panels flexing at the fixings, I often find the paint breaking away around the screw heads.
Anyhow, bye for now, into the garage I go.
