- This was the weekend where we wanted to finish the Marina, but life got in the way.
Ryan completes fitting the new rear valance, but has a secret he didn't tell us. Simon continues with the OS inner wing. Matt makes a cup of tea.

My favourite rubbish car channel. So much better than fixing my own rubbish cars.
Awesome as ever chaps!
Thanks again for the video!! Love it😊
1300 GT engines were all black from factory, not green. Looks nice in green though.
Simon knows. Now. He only found out after he painted it!
Green is the new black.😉
Great to see the effort put in, all that hard work and fun at the same time. What was the problem with boring out the block? Can't have been rebuilt that often before. Even bored and sleeved is usually ok.
Hi, it was linered. And would need to give +40 so was unviable and likely to fail. The replacement block was £30! Bargain!
I really liked the Kermit idea as a name, and I will call it that in the future. And yes, men do name some of their cars, my Trabi is Dido :)
Anyway, good to see progress and thorough work on this one, will be better than new if you keep it up like that.
What about Festival of the unexceptional for a new target?
We should be able to hit that!
Really enjoying the series guys! You’re doing well. What was the new green engine for? A mini gt?
No that's for Simons Austin 1300GT
@@crap_car an Austin what though?
@@TheGreatest1974 1300GT.
I think that the state of the metal has something to do with sitting in a garage on the Yorkshire coast for 40 years as well as BL budget quality….
Your dedication and perseverance during the shitbox GT resto is commendable, your enthusiasm fueled by copious amounts of banter and brews. 👍🏻
I was outraged to discover that you had cancelled the naming competition. Then I remembered that I actually totally agree with Matt. Watching your uploads has inspired me to build my own Marina, made entirely out of cardboard, just like Simon
A cardboard marina will undoubtedly be stronger than the metal marina made by BL
Excellent Masterclass in tea consumption, Simon's not bad at the bodywork lark either.
I am still chuckling at that scene!
@@CCC_Matt Just showed it to my wife and she was "How has he done that? Asbestos throat! THE MUG IS STILL STEAMING"
Isn't technology wonderful, we now have lightweight, modular, removable hammer heads. 😅
Thanks guys, you can tell Morris Marina's were built to last! 🤣
11:44 nice to see BLs panel gaps are in keeping
I bet that hammer was made in Chyna! I saw many Marinas as a kid. I never liked them but I liked the badge. I always thought they looked boxy in the wrong way. Now I kinda like them. I see the American styling pseudo muscle car. Did they ever do a Diesel Marina? I have decided to restore a Marina myself. A matchbox Marina!
Yes they did. They mostly got exported. 1.5 diesel.
There was a number of Perkins engined diesel Marinas as fully functional in 1976 / 77 at the CAV plant Acton. I drove one many times as an apprentice our “job for the day” to drive along the Western Avenue between Perivale and Northolt / Uxbridge full throttle in various gears 2 through 4 foot on the floor to read soot emissions with a daft collector bolted onto the exhaust pipe. The work took an hour or two max, but we had most of a day to do it so cruised around West London for another couple of hours before going back to the Acton prooving facility. ps nothing like the levels of traffic there then compared to now. Take a look at some of the Sweeney episodes to see how little traffic there really was ! The roads weren’t closed for filming and a lot of the series filmed around Acton & Ealing areas.
That second mug of tea looked perfect,but how the heck did he down it in one as the mug was still steaming when he finished it lol.xx
Simon is an android.
Hey hey cars do have names what ever are you thinking! I’ve got a ford streetka called Kylie 😂😂.and yes it’s shit looks shit runs shit with a shit name 🤣 the control inspector ha ha so funny . I was begging to miss the wheel trim but I saw it you know they could be valuable and sort after 🥱😇
Yes cars do have names. It's only Matt who thinks they don't. 😉
Some variants of swiss cheese come with a lower number of holes ... Thanks for sharing !
Would using a twisted wire radial wiire brush (£7 from screwfix) on the angle grinder have not cleaned the flange sufficiently for spot welding the valance on? only asking as I've been welding repairing agri machinery all day and since getting the idea from the yorkshire car restoration channel now use it all the time as the brush is "fierce" enough to remove anything on the surface of the metal (wear ppe as it strips stuff off with some force), but doesn't really "bite into" good metal.
We have some in stock. I'm not sure why we didn't try them. We may have thought the finger sander was better. We'll give them a go next time.
I've gone through a couple of those on my Peugeot Expert project - there's one brand that's probably the fiercest and most effective wire brushes I've ever used. I was reminded to wear PPE since one of the strands of wire got lodged in my cheek - I didn't even notice it for an hour.
Just in case ye do go for a name for the marina, what about snot (as in green bogey)
I understand it's a GT etc. but was it worth it. When i was 13 years old i had a saturday and holiday job in a Garage with a old boy. We replaced panels and welded up these cars all day long. They was five years old. The amount of labour and materials you have in this car it must owe you 10 plus grand. Will it be worth that finished. Anyways. Good job.. God luck. 👍👍💪
Cheers for the comment. No we don't have that much in it, and it probably won't be worth what we do have in it. But we are enjoying ourselves, having fun and entertaining people (I hope)
@@crap_car as long as you're having fun doing it, I'm jealous as f*@k because I can't weld anymore since my pacemaker in '22, I've had to sell my R-Tec R180 after my heart attack, that I loved so much and had only had it a year and a half, I love watching videos like yours, keep up the better than BL work lads 😉
I'm with Matt on giving cars stupid names.
Excellent ! you lads always make me laugh and the video's are very informative !
Thank you!
@@crap_car you guys are good, keep up the good work !
I'm guessing under the can't use my spot welder hidden in plain sight is a green nos marina shell that was also forgot can't use hidden😂 disguised as a discarded pizza box
Welcome back chaps good amount of progress by the look of it.
Brilliant chaps. Spot on as always. A good old giggle, and appreciate all the time and effort involved in the making 👍
The channel that just keeps giving 😂
Another cracking and entertaining update👍👍.
I thought TH-cam etiquette was that the people that posted (supportive) comments were afforded non-combatant status and didn’t the get the proverbial taken. Thanks for that then.
Hi Kelly, no proverbial was taken honestly. They are all just jealous of my fan base (I.e. you). Don't forget we are all weird/slightly unsocial people 😂
We and definitely I really appreciate you and everyone else. And I can't wait to have a big meet up down at the workshop.
And also, Mike has a like 80 IQ so he's not the shiniest spanner in the box
Much love
Matt

That inner wing looks like an absolute weldathon-I admire your determination-Its times like these you have to ask is fibreglass and underseal really so bad?😂
Its getting there lads.
Belated name for the Morris -Apple Turdover
Do you ever use Cleco sheet metal holders when welding? 😊
Simon and Ryan have used them in the past but we don't possess any now. Simon did give a reason a while ago why he doesn't use them, but I've forgotten what it is!
Great channel and nice work but never liked driving or working on marina's / Ital's .
Can't believe you have dropped the competition to name the car i can't believe you can't get the 1.8 sorted can't you find anything else for the bottom end and put some engine parts of the 1.8 as im sure they do another engine close to it and then its orignal you have done alot to work to keep it that way and ryan keeping that spot welder hidden till now after the struggle with the other one for a long time is not on great mate that is and the piller drill as well thats selfish i would wait till he wants to borrow some thing 😡🤬 keep up the good work 👍
Boggles Hole!
Please do the right thing and scrap that atrocity
I think you're on the wrong group 🤣🤣🤣
I love that car! It brings back fond memories!
great blog as all the time u Mack me small keep them coming Gary from Crewe 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Thank you Jasper!
Re spot welder, what would happen if you put your hand across the two bars?
The voltage is probably quite low.
@@julias-shedI was always taught (in electrical school) that voltage is not that important and that it is the Current which is the deadlier of the two !
(Just saying !)
@@OldSonyMan that's true but anything under 50V is deemed low voltage and safe to touch as it can't overcome the resistance of the skin....
@@julias-shed not true dude, It would kill me, as I have a pacemaker/defibrillator, so it must penetrate the skin somewhat. I'm not even allowed to use my welder anymore, or it sets off my defibrillator (happened to a mate of mine) and that's not even touching any of the contacts, holding it with the insulated handle.
@@Sennaxm71 I'm not a dude and I was asked what would happen if I touched them.
I dont know why everybody knocks marinas, back in the late 70s my employer bought a fleet of them,i drove a few and found them a nice car to drive
Mind i owned a reliant regal ,so i may not be the best judge !!!
If you are having trouble spot welding,why not try plug welding instead ?
We had a spot welder (or two) so thought we'd use that. But because of the steel not being totally clean we did have to mig plug.
@@crap_car you are doing a fantastic job
