hi all new to the forums and new to the micra ownership, bought a 2001 (51) plate 1.0 Vibe in a neglected state and hoping to put it back on the road. its going to be a daily drive and eventually a first car for a family member. unfortunately. ive only got a front end picture which isn't on the pc at the moment. list of problems :

Welding near the front suspension arms/sills
Rear wheel bearing wobble
Possible bent chassis / rear beam
Different coloured/faded/scratched bodywork
Damaged rear/front Bumpers and Pass wing
Leaking Sump
Leaking Rocker Cover
Massive pull to the left during driving
Brakes Straight though

Currently a work in progress

Sounds like a extensive project how much did you pay for the motor and what's your estimated time scale? B-)

Im struggling to refind this thread... Anyways ive bought it has an going project, cost me 250, its got a relativly decent long mot but, to get it good and reliable itll need the work ive set myself a budget of 400 not including perishables and service items! The majority of the work ill do myself, sent it in for an alignment to check if the slight pull is not a bent chassis.. Its not a major deal to get it driving yet as ive currently got another to use
