The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

Re: Another Cabrio project
I realise it's all down to personal choice but for me it wouldn't make sense. £3000 + for respray /ancillaries and it's looks like a CVH engine which again doesn't appeal to me. There are better Cabrio's out there for that sort of money.
My son bought a sailing dinghy some years back which when he got it home his wife described as 'expensive firewood'! I rebuilt it for him and enjoyed doing so but it made no sense financially. As I said it's all down to YOUR choice.
