As some may know, i sold my green micra earlier in the year to get the MX-5 back on the road, But ever since I sold it, we have always missed the convenience of it and swore that one day, we would buy another one.
So anyway, we were out getting bits and pieces for the S14, and this K11 caught my eye. I ran over to the car to have a closer look, and the rest is history.
Today the Micra arrived to its new home at 12pm.
Heres Julie having a quick drive to make sure everything is in check
Shortly after, out came the cleaning products and I got to work. This K11 was in excellent nick for a Micra, there is minimal rust, barely any rips or tears in the interior, no leaks from the engine/box and the paint has no fade! However, being a micra you can always expect to have a ding or two in the panels somewhere
All in all, its in much better condition then my previous K11, and it's the colour we were always after!
The K11 still has the factory tyre and jack in the boot! Something i have never seen before in a K11 is this steering wheel, at first i thought it was off another Nissan, but upon closer inspection the whole steering coloum panel is the same colour!
The K11 ran out of rego 2 months ago, hence the tow home. At this stage we are in no rush to get it on the road, I want to sort out the Mazda first before we start tinkering with the Panda.
Plans for it are rather simple, We will give the K11 a good service, change brake pads etc and get it on the road. Then the mayhem can begin.
Seeing that my old K11 is written off, a lot of the parts from that will end up on Panda, and it should be a nice fun little car to drive around.

Love the steering wheel.
