If in doubt, give the car a full service as soon as you buy it

Removeable silencer too =P I think the theme with this at is...... "F*** it..... That'll do ;)"

Ooooft..... All very tempting =P however.... I'm seting for a correct fitting, none clunking CV joint and a stupidly huge back box =P I mean honestly, it's huge, I can fit my fist inside it!!! Haha

This is true........ *opens eBay app*

Newest update: Fitting of huge back box = fail!! Sliced my hand open, fitting kit is too big so needs..... Moddifying =P Fitting of new CV joint = fail!! Internal diameter of said CV joint is too big, will have to wait till after work tomorrow and try another one >.< Man I hate set backs

You saying it needs a snorkle?? =P

Good lad!! 6 years ago I wish I have had the money to do the welding on my first micra.... But it was bad, really bad, really really bad and the bill would have totalled around £1000 and at the time it was cheaper to buy a new car but given what and who I know today, if this one gets bad, it'll...

This of it like this.... Is it currently your only car? How much would get for scrapping it? How much would you need to spend on taxing a new car? Would getting a new car effect your insurance? Would this new car have any hidden costly faults? Does your current car only have the rusty...

Another day....another update!! We has power!!! And a nice switch to boot Everything is wrired up with 17amp wiring and fused with a 30amp fuse, (only one I had spare) direct to the battery in the thoughts that I may one day add at least 2 more lights if I can find another matching pair.

Looks very tidy for a high miler. Welcome to the fold ;) From your fellow metal head!!

Welcome to the fold. =]

Well, another quick update. I'm no closer to getting the CV joint and tyres sorted however, I'm slightly closer to working out where I'm going with the "look" of the car and I just know it's not going to be to everyone's taste..... But isn't that the idea of "modding"? Especially when they are...

Nnnnneeeeeeeeext update!! Took a stuff wire brush to the underside of the car, got rid of all the rust and under sealed everything I could within eye sight. Battery is well and truly holding its charge. Altered the position of the clutch peddle as it was sitting waaaaaayyyyy too high. Narrowed...

Haha..... Only a few more days till she finds out. Car is now insured =D and will be taxed come the 1st of sept.... No point in doing it now and loosing out on a months worth of tax

Quick update: V5 has arrived so the car is officially MINE!! and I'm a few days closer to getting it taxed and insured =D woooop!! Still havnt told the other half though =P

Oh..... And do we think his is big enough?

Oh oh lord.... Auto correct fails me yet again. Done some calculations today and another £100 should out the car into a road worthy condition, tyres, tracking, underseal, cv joint, plus a few other small bits and I may need a new battery but it should last another month or so

Cheers, I shall bare that in mind =]

Well! The problem has been solved. It looks like its a bad earth/connection/ what ever linked into the rear de mister switch as after I unplugged the switch and only this switch, all the random ass events stopped happening, so, fingers crossed, it's just that. Now I can move on to re jigging...

Funny you should mention that. I did have an issue to begin with that the first setting would go 1/3 up the windscreen then stop, then do another 1/3, then 1/3 back down and so on. As the motor was also dancing around I pulled it off, tightened up and greased the linkages, this fixed the motor...
