Marlin Roadster (Re)Build

And yet more progress. The front is pretty much complete now. Looking a little high maybe but experience has shown that the suspension soon settles after a bit of driving.
The headlights are chrome on brass as opposed to the polished stainless ones commonly used now.
And the horn is a classic "Clear Hooters" bought as a pair from Ebay some years ago. Its other half currently resides on the Pembleton.
I know they are not essential as I am not having to do an IVA but I have put nut covers over all the exposed fixings.
