My trusty '95 Micra's MOT expires on 12th August. The bodywork will need attention to get it through the test. Now that I have a family to cart about, it's probably best (wiping a tear from my eye!) to invest in a newer and bigger car, my Micra having given me eleven years of stirling service. What to do with the old girl though?
Probably easiest to call the scrap man (does it have any value at the moment?) or advertise it for spares or repair? Or would any one here be interested? I'm in the middle of Norfolk.
The worst bits of the bodywork, which have been patched before are the usual OS back part of the sill and the front cross member. The car has done 116000 miles and the engine's running well, although it may need a new thermostat ( the heater's not getting as warm as it used to). The half decent tyres probably have another 10000 miles left in them, although there's a slight shake on the steering when doing between 60 to 70 MPH. The front exhaust pipe is split and there's a slight blow on the corroded plate of the front box.
