This is a new blog for my pre facelift K11!
She is a 1997, P Reg, 1.0L, Automatic, Shape.
Three previous litle old lady owners, the last one only had it for a few months before upgrading to a Primera or Almera, I forget what!
Picked her up for £845, small spot of rust on the drivers sill (which ive now sorted), small bit of rust on the left underside, dent in the boot door from what looks like reversing into a bollard or something!
I know... its a Micra, how the hell can you back it up too far?!!!
All very minor problems which I have allready started to sort out, the main thing that caught my eye about the car was the full service history with receipts to back it all up, and only 27k on the clock at the time I bought it (also backed by the history).
Its my second car, and I havent been driving long. My first car was a 2.0L Mondeo... Great car, but I live in Glasgow and it was a ##### on petrol and tying to find a parking space!
I had to go a bit smaller and Ive always fancied the K11, so I bit the bullet!
I am gona keep her pretty much standard right now for insurance purposes, but I will be adding bits and colour coding things and the like and once my insurance quotes come back down to Earth, I will start doing some performance upgrades.
So far only things Ive done is change the wiper blades, fit a parcel shelf and start work on getting rid of the rust spots and the like.
I was talking to a couple of people earlier on here and I think my first moves will be to source a Super S bumper set and rear spoiler and get rid of my black moulded plastic parts.
I'll keep this updated with pics and stuff so check back if you give a toss (Y)
