Her name was chosen by my 2 boys, anyway I thought id give her and me a bit of an introduction.
I bought her a few weeks a go with test till Feb 15 and tax till august, £320, she was originally for my wife as being from Canada she can only drive auto here on her replacement licence.
We actually looked at her twice the first time my wife was not interested as to be honest the car was looking a little down at heel, roof covered in moss, a bit of rust on the arches and the odd few dings.
Anyway a week after viewing car first time wife said is that Micra still for sale? , I think we should buy it, so I went and did the deal and a 1994 micra 1.3lx auto came home.
Got her home gave her a quick wash and told the wife to take her for a drive, well Peppy is none power assisted so that was the end of that the wife wont drive her so now shes mine
Ive spent a lot of time on the bodywork bringing her back up, shes been welded on her sills at the rear, no more than I expected on a 20 year old car, but it was nicely done and its solid.
This is the first time ive owned a Nissan but ive always had a softspot for them as a child my father had a 1977 Datsun 120y ive never forgotten that car, I still love the shape of them.
My plans for Peppy are modest, change the exhaust system and and an induction kit, going to clean up the steel wheels repaint them and im am on the lookout for some 1970s steel Datsun Hubcaps and I will be rebadging her as a Datsun ( not to everyones taste I know) then just enjoy her. They are great little cars she puts a smile on my face.
Thanks for reading
