in cars •  6 years ago 

Here we go for part 6 in the Marina project. I did my first interior job and that was to replace this broken drivers window winder handle.

Having looked through the spare parts that came with the car i found a good winder handle so very happy about that. I cleaned up the spare one and fitted it on and now have a great working drivers door window.

Next job i did was to give the rear axle a good clean looks like it had not been cleaned since new.

Next job clean up the front suspension then check the brake pads and tighten up the front right wheel bearing as it was a little loose. Also pumped fresh greese into the suspension joints.

@rewards-pool where a small delegation can get you a big splash.

Even the wheel cylinders are down under down there!

Haha yes they are down low on these.

Start as you mean to go, your covering everything and the Marina deserves that, the time it takes is well worth it.

Thanks :) Yes i will try to cover everything as i go through getting this rare Australian built 6 cylinder Marina back on the road. These ones were never available in the UK.

Excellent, don’t think I’ve ever seen a 6 cylinder, really interested in seeing it go once it’s done.

If you have a look through my blog you will see the other parts in this series. You will see the one i owned about 20 years ago that was almost the same. These cars really get up and go and it could go round corners as fast as i could in my mini.

Well done, I guess I'll know who to contact if I ever need work. Just a short ride across to Tassie

Thank you. I am often fixing things for peaple in my small town. Like two chainsaws and an old landcruiser front leaf spring fix just yesterday. Join the que mate haha.

She's looking good after a bit of TLC my friend cheers.

Thanks it is looking better :)

1 piece at a time!

Yes indeed and i will get there.
