Re: V8 Roadster

interesting...lets see how much the rice will climb as (imo) the buy-now is a bit too optimistic.

Re: V8 Roadster

Look closely at the chassis there appears to be a bit of corrosion still to be cut out. I quite fancy it though.

Re: V8 Roadster

Re: V8 Roadster

Just thought I'd say hi just bought the v8 project off ebay so thought it would be wise to join the club and the forum and start getting to know a few so I can pick your brains.
I am no new to Marlins I used to run a Triumph GT6 based mark 1 back in the day, kids have gone and need new hobby wife suggested dancing I immediately bid on the Marlin.
I am based in the North East and would be interested in getting in touch with other owners up here for shared expertise and garage based tea consumption.

Re: V8 Roadster

Congratulations, my wife locked me in the shed to stop me bidding on it.

Re: V8 Roadster

thanks for the pics. I can show the wife and convince her it will all be worth it!!! picking it up on sunday. plan is to have it ready for summer. tall order but should be doable. Reckon missing emmerdale for 9 months will be tough but has to be done. Should be able to pick the plot back up easily enough

Re: V8 Roadster

It's been suggested to me by another member who shall remain nameless that the 'bonnet bulges' were formed on a female buck!!!!!!
