Well,
I have agreed a price with Terry and have ordered what I think are all the proprietary Marlin parts (widscreen {new type}, all body panels, dsh etc) so no excuse now.
One of my problems is going to be that I am taking over with no prior knowledge. In many ways this is good, I did not have the ballache of stripping the donor for example but in others it is hard. I have boxes of parts to identify and the engine is stripped of accessories which, along with their fasteners will be in some of the boxes!
My first job will be to fully stripo and rebuild the engine then mate it to the gearbox. After that I am thinking mount the diff and engine/gearbox and measure up for propshaft. Finish the suspension (already started) and add wheels. Does this sound logical?
John
