The final task on the original Rolla was to stick the Carib suspension into it, and basically revert it back to the car as I bought it, but slightly better.

Today was a big day, spent turning two average cars into one good one.
Well, it was a good run with the Liftback Corolla, but unfortunately it’s become unfeasible to keep it going.
Finally, it’s been a long time in the making, but for the first time in many years, the Marina has brakes.
I refurbished the rear drum brake setup today. I almost left it as is, but I’m glad I didn’t as it definitely needed stripping down.
Typically, being sat for 25 odd years, none of the hydraulics work. The clutch pedal is solid, and the brake pedal goes to the floor, and both do nothing to their respective components.
Progress on the Marina has been slow, but things are still happening in the background when funds and motivation allow.
Well, it’s been a little while in the making but the BMW is finally ready for its time in the spotlight.
Unfortunately, the time finally came; the TVR was moved onto a new owner.
One thing I love about buying old and neglected cars is getting all the electrics working again. The Marina is no different.
