stylez Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Project discussion : viewtopic.php?f=18&t=25227 Hi all, just signed up to the forum, some sick rides! Just picked up everyones favorite car Morris Marina! Off trademe, no doubt a few saw this one. Haven't seen many around and love the look of these cars so I went for it. It made it down from rangiora to cental otago in one hit so it goes sweet, just needs a new starter motor. Thought it might be cool to roll some difference. Apparently this car has the 1725cc engine in it, but has been converted to a 5Speed manual. Gearbox is mint, which I'm very happy about. Allready had the front torsions wound and blocks in the back. No idea on the plans for this just yet, but just getting everything in working order will be a project in itself. Things I have to sort out are : Starter motor (push starting sucks) Seatbelt plugins Speedo/fuel guage/ temp/ clock etc not working Aftermarket guages not working Very substantial oil leak from seals on the sump few other bits n sh*ts to sort out also. couple of pics I pulled off the auction, will post better ones at some stage. Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stylez Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Update 20/12/2010 So I finally had a little time to myself, which I decided to spend on the Marina. Firstly, off came the grille... It's not in bad nick, just needs a sand and paint and it'll be good as new. Just a tiny bit of surface rust in the scratches... Now, if you have been following the discussion thread it's taken a while to figure out what starter motor I have. I finally got it out! Once I have a new starter motor I'll update with some better progress, it's a bit difficult to find the time at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
