The dodge driver headlight is now replaced and finishes the look of the car nicely!

The new wheels are 7x17

Always nice when that happens :cool:

Thanks Deek. You should try for a 160SR. They are very quick and fun for such a small car. I got mine for under £1000! A bargan, considering most I've seen since, are nearly £2000. It was very good condition appart from a tinny bit rust on the roof, which I got sorted. Hopefully you'll get...

The drums and calipers need cleaned and painted. I have the paint bought ready. When twisterboy and I are free, we will clean everything up and paint the drums black and calipers blue. Should finish things off nicely

That's the wheels and a fresh MOT done now. Drivers headlight is still to be done as it was the wrong one they ordered. Next weeks job.

I don't really listen to the radio. In that car, I tend to listen to my exhaust note and I have 6 CDs if I need them in the changer. I also keep the car mainly for weekends, so never get bored of it. The Ariel is mainly for looks. I kept the original one. If don't mind, I'm happy with the...

Scottish Car Enthusiasts are going to attend Driftland at Lochgelly on the 19th August. We are going to try get a few spaces to get a nice line up of Micras. We will do a Facebook event. Can post here if interested in the mean time. It be nice to get a group together for it.

If anyone wants my original alloys for the 160SR. They do need refurbished, so will bear that in mind. If just PM me with an offer, I'll get photos later. Fife Autocentre have agreed to store them for me, so collection from their Dunfermline branch once payment is agreed.

The car as it is now. Not long till I get the weels fitted and finally finish the car and can get it out to enjoy!
