No more tapped on arches, all bolted on, still nit sure wot to do with metal arch tho, front seems easy enuf, rear Gunna be bit difficult as if I remove the amount off metal I need, it's Gunna cut into inner arch and leave a gap, as I can't weld this is a problem
Need it sorting as the ride height is looking crap as it is..........help me to go low !!!

Come on then Frank, lets see a pic of both of them fitted up the same side!
started it and it ran fine for once!!!!!
Frank: i think, because i have no induction tubing or air filter, that rain water had run down from the top of my bonnet and dripped into my inlet mani. dried it out with a leaf blower and it worked fine! lot of white smoke the first time it started and warmed up. must have had some water pulled through into the cylinders. i am a lucky lucky boy. now have a plastic bag to put over the t/b for overnights when its raining!

Come to the realisation that my car needs a respray, after spraying my boot from filling in the old nipple light holes, then looking at it, the colour is way off
How much is the cost of a repray on average? It's White!
you'll find getting a vinyl wrap will be significantly cheaper (up to half price). one of my mates wanted his golf (eurgh) matt black. was quoted £5000 for paint or £500 for a wrap with a 2 year guarantee

If you paint it yourself it'll be even cheaper!
Unfortunately, the little Micra is still 100% standard. Having only had it a few months, I am purely using it for the 25 mile commute from home to work and back. If you can count fitting a new rear wiper and filling it up as "something" then that is all I have done to it today! He also passed his MOT and had a service on Tuesday which is always a bonus I suppose... (Y)
Since i never do anything to my Micra, but take photo's! Here are two I took while bored at work this afternoon
The a little retro Micra and style of photo!
Enjoy
PS: Loving the retro

Put a new exhaust on today, just the middle pipe and the muffler. But sounds good... not so loud now! Next will be the brakes, shocks/struts, springs and clutch!

they,re only for 1/4 mile days matt tbh, they give you low gearing akin to about a 4.8 diff.
and the widening is a mission compared to just reversing, been doin some more 6.5 x 13,s this week :wasntme: (bored of the 14,s atm lol)

That frank, is most excellent. Raise it up so you have about half an inch of clearence and roll!
