I love the green lanes, hope you aren't planning that long high bumpy road with boards across and two metal rails up Snowdon?
At the moment the Marlin has a Triumph Dolomite 1850 gearbox with overdrive, unfortunately first gear is rather tall, equivalent to a normal second gear, so before I can go 'off roading' I will have to attend to that. I am planning to fit the standard gears from the original box but have put jobs like that off until the car has passed it's test.
It's been a challenge enough to do what I have in four months, my strategy has been to do what has to be done to satisfy the test, unless it's fundamental, then once the test is passed, pull the car apart again and do it properly. It will no doubt be a continuous rolling development as my rally cars were.
