Aah brings back memories, my first car was a 1.8 Marina saloon, on an N plate in the same green as your replacement wing and I nicknamed it the flying vomit, it was roughly 6 years old and already a rusted out shitbox, the only way to treat them is with a hammer, an angle grinder and the contempt it deserved, still miss the old girl 😂
I had a T Reg Mk2 escort in similar fettle......picked it up from a garage forecourt with a years MOT on it (you know back in the days of paper MOT's you got you're mate to sign), was full of holes, lasted me a week, front strut went through the bonnet going round a corner sending me into a wall.... ahh the good old days!
@@CCC_Matt No. You don't understand. Ever since I drove a factory fresh Marina 1.3 van in 1978, I am unable to read because my eyeballs are still vibrating. I thought it said Husker Du on the sleeve.
@@crap_car Too cultured...? I'll have you know that I own the original Freight Rover 350 factory prototype where they shoehorned a V8 in. DVLA confirmed. Matching numbers. If I was "too cultured" then I wouldn't be asking if you are interested in it. With the whole street knowing.
Cathartic this. All that skill going into restoring a crap old bl Marina. Much more interesting imho than watching a a no expense spared f40 or s1 e-type resto. Love this channel
Hats off to you Simon, you did a fantastic job to get that sill sorted. I love Marina Coupes, despite their reputation my wife (then Fiancé)had some amazing times in a vermilion mk2 1.8 Coupe. I would buy one tomorrow if I could find a good one. In fact let me me know when you decide to sell it I would be very interested 👍
@@crap_car I’m not surprised, I’ve got enough on my plate atm, rebuilding my 2006 clk 350 convertible, but keep me in mind if others drop out. Love what you are doing with it though 👏👏👏
Ah thought I recognised those accents.Used to have my ex husbands relatives up in Thornes Wakefield.Used to love going up there to visit as they always seemed such friendly ppl there unlike down here.Nice to see the work being done on this as you rarely see them anymore.xx
Back in the day, we used to drill the sills then get the sill into place, pop rivet some of the holes then do the spot welds the nip the rivets out and spot those. Think the last set I ever did was a MK2 Fiesta which was a "plate and bake" pretty much as the replacement sills seemed over sized and just slipped over pretty much, tricky to seam the bits as such a narrow window for a good weld between not sticking and blowing thru but on the fiesta the bottom inner seam had to be welded with a bit more than chicken sh*t welds. Now another MK2 Fiesta, I ran it for ages and the sills blew out living by the seaside, a friend who worked on the planes at Hurn airport gave me this big roll of heavy aluminium tape, it was airframe seam tape which had on one side a layer of hardening epoxy... told me what he gave me was like 10 grand a roll... so a bit skint and slapped some on the fiesta's sills, sailed through the MoT as it was rock hard solid once it set. Bit o' blackjack over the sins.
Haha! That's a great story. Yeah back in the day they used to make oversills that were designed to slap over the sill. My first mini had them. When I took them off in an attempt to restore it, the inside just crumbled.
You can cut and weld however much you like. You can't cut the crap out of a Marina! My -74 1,8 super had a proper rust hole through the left front wing by 1980. That's six years! By that time i replaced the rear silencer four times, and the middle one twice. The carburettor was stable at no point in time. The timing never even close. And the valves sounded like a bucket of bolts and nuts. Still, I used to love the thing... (and still kind of do...)
that car is in great shape for it's age and the fact it has never had any attention My father had a 1.3 4 door, glacier White Navy trim It went well and was very cheap to run Later I used to get the 1.8 as company cars. Once they were out of warranty and Morris Garages couldn't get their oily mitts on them I could set the SU and timing so they were smooth and responsive right across the rev range and got close to 40mpg. Those BL engineers were level headed guys , did a brilliant job with what they had
It is surprising it has survived so well, as '78 was still the years they were using that cheap ex washing machine used steels which led to so much chaos and demise of cars esp on the R and S regs because the metal was so weak and poorly forged. Lancia's had to be recalled en masse because the engines literally fell out of the car as the engine support cradle was made out of mush.
Love this series, guys. As one of my workmates used to say " shit then shit now," 😂 I had a Marina in the 80s, it handled like a water bed, and I wrapped it into a bridge sideways. I think I improved it😂
This channel has a great balance of skills and banter.......it's really going places. Great work on the car and great work on the filming and the editing guys.😉
Look, its all about the process...getting it done, working on cars that nobody would think or look at twice in its life is refreshing...Still going well guys, keep it up.
I need a Simon...I will have ago at anything, wrong or right...I have welded patches on sills on a modern car with a Gasless welder, yes it just about worked and got it through a MOT, but on a 44 year old Chevette, not sure...but I will give it a go, whats the worst that could happen...only joking I have a 'Vinnie' who will do any structual work for me, at a cost, so would love a friend like Simon who does it for Tea 😂...love it yet again, you guys make me laugh and I get relief that my Chevette is alot more solid than I realised...
You need to get a gas mig and use a co2/argon mix. I'm an ok welder but not at the level of Simon. He used to be a panel beater/painter at a bmw main dealer so he knows his stuff
Surprising how much pleasure you can get from watching somebody cutting out rot from a car and replacing it with better steel.... iv done similar jobs over the yrs but at least watching you do it I havent got the white hot sparks going down my earhole and nose....🤣....looking forward too the next episode lads...👍
Good stuff. I think it's good to show how it actually takes for a "simple" panel replacement (not saying it's simple to do, but replacing a panel is simple to say). It's just as well you don't go for that over complicated bracketry malarkey like that other car-restoration channel 😉
Haha! Yes. No brackets on this channel. Yet. If this video is a success, we will do others. Not the OS sill as that's the same, but the rear panel, front panel and headlight mounts. And perhaps the engine rebuild.
@@crap_car I really enjoyed your other videos with the banter but found this really educational. Maybe a mix of both if you get the time? Can’t believe how fast you are progressing this - you’ve clearly done this kind of thing before
@@bobstark184 the next video in the same vein as the others is out on Sunday. The editing is quite hard. I get so much footage and have to discard about 90% of it. The first edit of the next video was a mix but we found the second half (which was stripping the torsion bars and a discussion about the rear springs) quite boring, so I had to re-edit it. Si used to do this for a living which is why he's fast and good. For the rest of us it's just a hobby but we have restored a few cars.
A great job well done 🙂, I would mask all those windows up and those seats and carpets, as you say where do you find new Sundym class now. I look forward to seeing it completed.
My dad had a 100A and 120Y back in the day. I don't remember them getting rusty but he probably only had them for a few years. The neighbour had a 120Y estate which I remember had a rotten tailgate, which proudly bore a sticker proclaiming it had been Zeibarted from new. The rest of the car was solid.
The XR2 was Simons from a few years ago. We do have an XR2 in storage waiting to be done. It was the first car we bought as a group but then just bought more cars so it got put to the back.

Nice job young man that piece of crap ..ahem ..sorry..i mean quality vintage vehicle is slowly becoming very respectable and your right for a 70s car having its first sill replaced its quite amazing. Whole thing Might be worth a squirt of paint at the end at this rate ! the quality wheel trim as a weld guard 🤣🤣 nice job 👍
Mate I no how much of a pain in the arse it is on any old car as you find more and more rot the more you strip it back I've done plenty of vehicles wa t needed inner and outer sills in the 25 years of welding myself so I do feel for you but at least you got it high enough to sit down and a ramp if you needed it when I've done a cars which was a shell I used to roll them on there side resting on old tyres and anything to prop it to stop it falling back on me was years ago or used to borrow a forklift and put pallets underneath the car but was before I got a old ramp but wouldn't do that now was young and stupid then paying for it now with my knees but good to see you doing it properly hate it when people bodge stuff and have to sort it out after it keep up the good work 👍i could not work with your mate who keeps shouting 🤬😡
Here's a question for you guys, do you remember the Chrysler avenger? An uncle of mine had a reddish brown one with a black vinyl roof and from memory the body style looks identical to the Morris here. Did they use the same body??
I used to be taken to school in a green Avenger in the 70s. No, the Avenger was a Rootes car. They do look similar though. A typical three box car built in the 70s.
@@crap_car yea bit of a stupid question from me there!! 🙄 I googled it since! Yea I had many a spin in them too!! He had two of them, a red one before that. Rare cars now I would think, I think they suffered a bit with rust too. Keep up the good work guys, your good fun to watch!! 👍
The one we use in the shots is a stunt hubcap that cost me £7 from Ebay. The original ones aren't in great shape, full of overspray. I have just bought a NOS set of four for £25 so they're available and cheap.
Great channel. Ive enjoyed this marina revival alot. My dad loved them and Itals. Each to their own i guess. An observation over the past few weeks, is it Matt in the blue, white and red booble hat ? He is that one bloke in every group of mates whos only funny to his mates and absolutely annoying to any other human being.
Wow really. Im sorry your so easily offended that i dont find Matt hilariously funny. Reread your comment about Matt being marmite to others and that's tounge in cheek but you can't work out my initial comment was too. Sorry Matt your the most entertaining funny human being on the face of the planet if that's stops you crying. Wow soft northerners, what have we become in England😂
Good job but why are those hubcaps getting so much grief? I’m guessing they are pretty rare items? Please don’t tell me you’re planning on the all too predictable minilites for this car!!!
Someone on the first video commented that he was surprised to see Matt put the hubcap face down. Watch the second video in the series. So we decided to do something with them in each video. Don't worry though, it's a stunt hub cap I bought off Ebay for £7 so I don't think they're that rare. The ones with the car have overspray on from the bad paint job. We are just WhatsApping each other at the moment about wheels. There aren't a lot of options. They probably need to be period. I've suggested banded steels because I don't want minilites. We were looking at Dolly sprint but the offset is wrong. So at the moment, we don't know.
I really fancy some special muscle car type wheels. 14" most likely Considering we may likely upgrade the suspension in the future for when we start drifting and drag racing, we need fancy expensive wheels.
You know how good it is not to have shit musak crayoned over a video? Watch Yorkshire Car Restoration videos to see why. Lovely workmanship but I just can't watch with that sodding noise. Good work on the Marina - are you painting it the same colour again?
I do watch YCR but it is the same tunes over and over. We won't be painting it yet. We're going to keep the Patina and take it to a few shows to see what kind of reception it gets. We will most likely be keeping it the same colour when we do eventually paint it.
Message from Simon: It used to bug me years ago regarding the use of panel hammers. It was drilled into you at college. But 35 years later and countless builds, still on original shaft. The time of giving a shite has passed.
Im still surprised how good this car is
Blokes love sh*t like this, we’d watch welding and grinding all day. 👍

We won't be painting it yet. We're going to keep the Patina and take it to a few shows to see what kind of reception it gets. We will most likely be keeping it the same colour when we do eventually paint it.
thats a panel beating hammer not a chipping hammer GGGGGEEERRRR
Oh boy. You'd better not watch our other videos then.
Message from Simon: It used to bug me years ago regarding the use of panel hammers. It was drilled into you at college. But 35 years later and countless builds, still on original shaft. The time of giving a shite has passed.
Matthew Needs to calm down he’s trying too hard to be the court jester it’s embarrassing
You'd be amazed how quiet I am in real life. Mikey told me to act like an ass to compliment Simon
And you like to compliment Simons ass.
He's an annoying attention seeking mong.....
In the future legislation will prohibit people from doing their own car repairs !
(Not too far into the future either !)
😮
This is sad news, where did you find that out from?
GB News most likely.
How? Why?
Sorry to have to say this , but how can anyone pay for this abortion called a repair......so so badly done
That's shocking! What would be a better way to do it?
