OEM Hyundai, but not sure who actually made it. They've changed suppliers a couple of times since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those particular ones with the textured outer were original equipment on a lot of cars in the 70s and 80s and they can be quite deteriorated without showing any signs of perishing on the outside like a 'normal' hose 100% true. 3/3 blocked on the Marina. Thanks for the heads up, its why I just went ahead and ordered hoses before even checking the old ones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kws Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 There is a crazy amount of NOS Austin Marina parts in the US. Even new minor gauges like the fuel and temp, NOS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transom Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I think the only things I have ever shipped with youshop is auto parts - eBay rock auto or Amazon free shipping to Portland Oregon USA thanks - then youshop no problem even for used auto parts 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Hey @locost_bryan do any of your books identify month/week/day a Marina was built? Wondering when my car was born. Chassis - 024A2S1M17-1572 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost_bryan Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 No, I think the detailed production records were lost when the Zetland factory closed. Hard to work out from chassis numbers, as each variant was numbered from 1001, so yours is the 572nd Deluxe 1750 manual Coupe. Production was about 200 cars per week, roughly 40% were Deluxe, and 40% Coupes, but I don't know the % for engine and trans. You could probably use a spreadsheet to make a guesstimate. Because your chassis number doesn't start with a "Y", it's probably NZ assembled. If you have the original rego number, you will be able to find out the date first registered, the build date would probably be only a few weeks before that. Honda have some NZMC records, but I don't think it includes any Marina info. Could be worth asking on FMM forum, or on one of the Aussie Leyland facebook groups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was browsing a restoration catalogue yesterday and saw those contour gauges and thought why on earth are they in here?

kws Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Seems like a pretty handy thing to have, and it'll pay for its self in trying to fix this guard. If anyone else wants the same as I have I got this one, https://www.thetoolshed.co.nz/product/14774-toolshed-contour-gauge-250mm You can also get them from Bunnings and M10, but they are about half the length. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Thankyou for documenting your builds so well. Always makes my day when I see one of your updates! Must be pretty rewarding to have it move under its own steam. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Not quite moving yet, just need wheels powedercoated and tyres fitted, but real close. Very happy to see the driveline working though, and no significant weird noises yet (just the usual gear noise in first). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way that you write so clearly, and photograph so well that there is plenty of information for someone to follow the process along at home with their own vehicle. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Thanks. I had trouble when I first started working on SD1s where people knew how to do certain jobs on them, but it wasn't written up anywhere and they kinda guarded that information. Any information that was written up was generally vague and without images, or just spread far and wide across the interwebs and hard to find. That pissed me off, so from then on I've tried to kinda catalogue the work I do in such a way that either someone can follow it and work out how a job is done, or point them in the direction of a known resource. I believe it's helped some people to have the confidence to tackle jobs they may not have otherwise, but for most it's just interesting to watch my suffering 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
