nothing much now , reitted the font anti roll bar, , still wants repainting really and fitting the rear,
fitted the top spec version of the jvc stereo to a identical version but its rgb, dab, bluetooth, ipod, android, phone, ect,
98k service is comming soon and i got a full service set up , oem nissan oil, gear oil, oem belts, filter, , new rocker cover , and do the handbrake and inspect the front brakes
next things for next year is new wishbone bushes as they are shot, sort the rear anti rollbar, sort the drivers sill as i rushed and its got some defects, sort the towbar and refit it, such, weld the bonnet as the o/s grill has a hole like normal , and odd and a panhard at some point
but she is more gokart like, rides nice and well, completely useable all round, and surprises people and passangers

On a little side note, picked this little one up
31k celebration clean just wants minor things ,
And it came with a new.stereo so.hooked up some tweeter and rear speakers, and going to add some popouts, maybe almera brakes and some alloys, and some little details,
Bumblebee isn't getting replaced
Hopefully use this as a project while my health gets sorted as basically got no energy or out, it's why bumblebee isn't finished 100% on details and such

Nice, was there on on Saturday ,that's where the green 31k came from haha
Really? My current K11 was from Shiremoor. Apparently we have all of the rust free Micra's. Took me 5 tries to find one that wasn't rotten when I lived in Hexham.
OP
OP
I've found up hexham they are really badly looked after, or dodgy garages claiming fails on nothing ,
Ann's never trust a set of wheels o r tyres , don't think I've seen a legit set that bent bent or bald haha,
they micra I got is from shiremoor ,or the maps in it and some bits lead to it lol,

So went to Sheffield 220miles to get 8 almera gti alloys
then gave its 98k service , and belts (still got the gearbox and fuel filter ) and it started ticking /knocking to corsa 1ltr level, hooo, nooo, then goes silent , appears the water pump bearing is on its way , I hope haha,
wants a good clean

Those two have been really the only thing I've been doing and not much either
but basically due to health issues thing have been harder then normal and just put on hold
I'm hoping to get the white (panda) finished soon just got a vent and finish the sills before getting the aesthetics and some minor issues sorted for mot ,
Welding, and such on the white one and sub, rebadging ect on the green one
Other then health parts have been a pain or just stupid , had a lot of messers and let downs with parts , funny the only things that have gone well recently is a cheap induction kit off eBay lol,
SO if I'm after a si back seat with headrests , rear pockets, front fogs (99 spec) 34/40mm lowering coils (if not those I may just get.new)

Gas ones ? I've got I think gas on the front and oil on the rear kyb, and it does not bounce , and it's pretty stiff ,
After that is your looking at adjustable pressure or spax (something along those lines)
Then you got the cords b set up (ugh ?) which seems to ruin the ride from what I've been in ,

I've ruined my car ?
My nodspeed one is currently the one in best condition but without the bushes it's useless, my whiteline one has welded itself together and my gizfab one has rusted so much the threads are stripped off so I really need to machine some bushes
