I had a brainwave, and some good advice, which got me going again.

In typical old car fashion, what was meant to be a simple and easy job kinda spiralled out of control.
In what appears to be a trend now, here is the monthly update for the Marina.
One part I neglected to address in my previous post about the driveshaft was the sliding yoke. It was seized, and no amount of pretending it wasn’t was freeing it up.
It feels like it’s been a huge uphill battle getting a working tacho in this car, but I think I have finally mastered it.
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.
