One thing I love about buying old and neglected cars is getting all the electrics working again. The Marina is no different.

What more is there to say? It’s not even the weekend yet and already the achievement is unlocked.
Today has been the first real day of work on the Marina. I got some important prep work out of the way, and had a good look around under the car.
Here I was, Monday night, sitting watching a movie with my Wife when suddenly I get a text message… “I’ll deliver the Morris off tonight about 9:30”. A few days ahead of schedule, awesome!
Many years ago, about 14 years or so, I bought a car off a friend so I could learn to drive and get myself to work. It cost me $400 with reg and wof, and was awesome.
Well today has been somewhat bitter-sweet. Little Snicket has been moved onto a new owner.
Since I was at a standstill with the rear of car due to waiting for the rear arms to be reconditioned, I decided to push on with the front of the car.
As the first step to sorting out the issues needed to get Snicket on the road, I decided to remove the radius arms, so it also knocks out two jobs in one.
This darn car. There is always something that makes me shake my fist in frustration.
Worn bushes are no fun, and these bushes get a hard time in normal use. My Tie Rod bushes were stuffed and needed replacing.
