That's fair enough at least you've kept you spirits and will consider starting again (Y)

Damn, thats bad

Same with my white Micra with rusted roof, when i stripped the car i discovered a huge area under the drivers area (passenger side in UK cars) with loads of rust, could see the ground through it... :down:

Waiting to see the project going in another Micra. (Y)

[Scott]

Just the lock? Yeah ok

 

[will930]

[Scott]

So now we must strip off the useable parts and store them somewhere...

So rear beam, new wishbone, all wiring, NATS stuff, engine, gearbox etc, front panel, hubs and CVs. Probably more. Meh

Just keep hold of it buddy.

Thanks for the offer though!

 

[kara]

nice project, hope all your problems are sorted

 

[Stani1029]

There no such thing as a conversion part or kit. All custom by either yourself or someone whos a good thinker

 

[Scott]

Ripped the rear axle off today (mucho grinding and hammering) to store that away for future.

Definitely game over Suspension turrets are just crumbling away with big holes, lightly tapped it with a screwdriver and it just went through. Biscuit metal.

Lifted the exhaust out and it literally just "fell apart".

Also removed the new wishbone and stored away, perhaps for another project in future?

Then left some biscuits out for the new mouse living in the unit. RR welcomes Tyrone.... dont drink the out oil bucket please.

 

[richardwbb]

Tyrone is the mouse that has made its home in our unit.

 

[richardwbb]

Unit/Garage/lockup?

Spent all this morning reading this and the debate SR20 Vs GA16 etc was enjoyable reading, but after knowing about the weights of those engines, how much does a CG13 weigh with gearbox?! I bought a nice clean SR few months back and I plan a new power plant, SR, GA, CG-T or CG- N/A I still can't decide! But I may have to loom RR Developments up for future help!

Good luck in the future with everything!

[K11SS]

Also... Bad luck on the shell! x

Unit/Garage/lockup?

That doesn't translate well overhere, lol.

What is your focus atm?
