Trying to retire by the end of the year with luck, so propose restarting on this project, its a marina roadster kit thats never been on the road so will need IVA testing. The kit has been part built but will need stripping down and rebuilding so I hope those who have already done this would be kind enough to give advice.
Work so far done to this end.
Defender windscreen cut to shape and fitted with mark showing
Windscreen profile changed
Wing edges thickened but need shaping
Herald demist vents fitted and will be fitted to 12v electric heater
I did cut and weld lower angled seat floors but they will need redoing
Have head rests to fit seats
I think thats about it
One of the first jobs I will have to do is strip down the suspension and replace all the bushes as they have perished, thinking of using a full polly bush kit from morris minor parts firm or are they different from marinas? feedback please.
Thanks for reading this ramble I will try and upload some pics soon.
Cheers
Phil
