The last few months we've used Mandy the cabriolet quite a bit and its been super enjoyable. Its our first convertible and all a bit new. On the first decent outing on a hot as day was a trip to Nelson where we both learned why it is we'd always seen convertible owners wearing caps and its...

Ha - as I read your reply it's just started to rain and we are expecting a decent weather event this time. Luckily we've got rain deflectors :-)

Update time before the weekend when our stable of k11s is reduced to 2. Mandy first. We stripped her down, removing both guards. Only needed to remove the drivers side to fix damage but as we've learned they all collect a load of dust/dirt at the back bottom of the guard so its worthwhile...

#sadface Gutting! Should I post over one of the many rust free k11 shells kicking about here in nz?

A month or so ago our friendly local wreckers gave us a heads up on a K11 cabriolet they might be getting in. "Its owner had a whoopsy, smashed the front guard in and needs a bit of work. Reg and wof'd. Would you be interested in it?.." "yes" was the obvious answer. They collected it today...

Great job. Just in time for summer!

We had fitted the spare wheels from Molly but one was worn so a good tyre was sourced and fitted. Then we took her for a wof and she flew through with flying colours. There was a chip in the screen that was noted and we already knew about however it was not in a zone that mattered. Still, just...

Cheers Grans k11 driver :-) Martha is now in fine fettle and about to go up for sale. But before I do a listing I thought i'd do an update here. She went up on the hoist and I removed all the front bumper/lights/guards etc. The rust that she had failed her last wof on was all along the...

Ouch! Crikey. As gassed up said, the driving dogs could be offset but I'm not sure though - I've a friend who installed his k11 dizzy 180 out and he couldn't get it to start until I told him to check that. I presume you're on the hunt for a replacement cam now.

Cheers. Yeah a few others on Facebook have said it's a g# too. What a score. The autostrada is the 4door version of the g# (the one we split for bits) and from what I've read the autostrada has rear seat headrests, as are now in Minky, but which this one (Martha) doesn't. Also- its been...

Well having just one K11 didn't last very long then. While we were having a bbq and entertaining guests the other night I got a call from @Sanfiddy to say he had just picked up a March and wondered if I'd like to buy it from him. It had failed its wof on rust. Rego is on hold. "hmmmmm? " I...

The key is to buy several, strip them, make one perfect one from all, scrap the rest and so increase the values of all k11s remaining out there.... I think.

Going by the way K11 ownership seems to pan out he'll soon own 3 or 4 of the little buggers...

yep. But I'll just modify stuff to suit :-)

I'll have to modify/make some mounts to suit when the time comes - I just rang the refuse centre and the shell has already been crushed. Its been transformed into a Nissan Cube.

Oooooh bugger. Hopefully its not crushed yet- I should pop up today and have a look.

I've just enjoyed reading your thread, as has my wife hannah. Very entertaining :) I liked the middle of lidl comment as I remember the random stuff they would have for sale there. With regards the spots of corrosion you're concerned about on that head- I have dealt with similar pockets on a...

Sadly those wheels I found were just not meant to be. When I went back to get a tyre fitted I double checked the other rims on the balancing machine and discovered that two were bent- one really badly to a point I'd not want to attempt to rescue. So that sucks. Back to the search then. In...

Whilst we were in town yesterday afternoon Hannah and I popped into the local wreckers yard so I could have a browse through their collection of alternators for my flat six project. We ended up finding these treasures of round... 15 x 7 et37 Italian made Momos! Yum. Exactly the sort of...

It's fitted into the yellow car, including the black pfl dash and leather steering wheel, gear knob etc
