yup thought about that, don''t know where yet. I didn't buy hubcentric spacers yet cause I am not sure about how much I want them to poke out, just went with 10mm regular spacers so the alloys would fit, still waiting for the studs :confused: I'll make loads of update pics in the end of the...

yup, thanks for the confirmation :) been really busy lately on other work so not much has been done, going to put the engine back in this weekend. Seems there is going to be a problem with the alloys since the center hole is smaller than on the hub, thought I could fix it with a 10mm spacer...

that would look awesome :) think I'm gonna go for it can't wait to get it all done and start on some performance upgrades, the fun part :p one more thing, after I installed nismo bushes all round and tightened them the teeth snap to the mounting point so they can't turn which makes me...

Well a couple of update pics, had to focus on other stuff so not much has been done lately. Got it on wheels, gonna go for a much finer polish compound, hope it's gonna look good. and some engine cleaning in the process, just going to re-seal everything and we are going to get another one...

glad you like it :) ahm... any idea where could I get a set of plastic flares?

Well been working hard, so I got some updates, and a couple of pics. Happy that it's going smooth and I can actually see it being done soon. Fitted the shocks Fuel lines mounted, had to fabricate new strips that hold the gas tank and lots and lots of small stuff that needed a lick of...

nice :) I couldn't find similar material so I used dust covers from a spare almera steering rack. I'll make some pics but while in the process of compressing the front springs I kinda got a bit mad cause the crappy screw type spring compressor couldn't compress them enough to put the top on...

will do that, thanks :)

Excellent, thanks mate :) I'll put it on my to-do list. anywayz, the rear suspension is mounted. Still need to fiddle with some details on the suspension and stuff so tomorrow it should be on all 4 wheels and I can start buffing the paint to make it shine. coils were painted white I even...

do you mean between them? like this...

I'm glad you like the work, rarely someone restores these cars since they aren't that rare and worthwhile but I couldn't say no to that poor little fella :) Here are a couple of pics of the sill "upgrade", thinking it might stiffen the chassis a bit, interested on how it will handle on the...

maybe one day I'll fix a car in a week like in the tv shows :D @James: Was a friends rover 45 he left me the number plates as decoration in my garage, nice cars ****ty engines.

Yeh well the first pics are from april, it definitively took a while :eek:

Thanks for the comments guys, I'd like to repair and save all those micras but that's a little time consuming. I'm currently back in Slovakia, used to work in Exeter 2 years ago. I specialize in nissan's, did a full restoration on a 100nx a couple of other cars, still got a S14a, d21 pickup...

Hey guys, the name is Mark, been bobbing around here for a while and I thought I'd introduce myself and share some stuff I've been up to lately. We bought a second micra automatic as a runaround in town, I really like the cvt. So again I bought a crappy car, busted CV joints, nasty paint...
