Er, the title kinda covers it! Its a bolt in roll cage for your K11 Micra! Its been fitted before but thankfully never used! :laugh: Its finished in Satan black. Happy to deliver anyhere on U.K. mainland cheaply! PM us with your postcode. Dunno how much its worth so we have listed it...

This one is a real stunner! 40,000 miles from new, full, up to date service history, 2 owners from new (the original owner and his grandson). Everything works as it should. We drove it 400 miles and it didnt skip a beat. The sills are original and unwelded. Original brake...

After all that we had to do some paying work! :laugh: So Mrs. Getaways car was dumped outside! Note the 6 wheel conversion... It makes the car much easier to park but a bit tail happy! :laugh: Proof the K11 isnt the only Nissan that regularly needs sections welded into the rear sill...

Next part involved poling holes in the bodywork. Rear floor was a bit crunchy so the interior came out to reveal... So out came the grinders and weldy machine to leave... While the weldy machine was out I decided to 'inspect' the bubbly paint on the drivers sill...

We have been pretty busy recently and I have been neglecting our blog. So here are some highlights since last time! First up was our 'Demonstrator'! The Wifes T reg, 127,000 mile, category C write off K11 in for its annual refit. Front end came off so I could... replace the manky...

Good points... MOT until Oct 2012 Recent service (full service history!) Original sills and crossmember New CV joint & windscreen Working NATS and Central locking! Not so good points... Few scratches and dings, not much considering its a P reg! NSR door has been repaired...

Had to replace the drivers door, the frame had rusted to nothin and the ouer skin flapped about! However, when you are looking for body panels a particular colour you cant find them anywhere, so we had to make do with a red one... The paint we bought was a pretty good match...

I'm selling M18CRA Originally sold to Daveally but for obvious reasons he doesnt need it now. So we are auctioning it on ebay (link below) Its currently on Mrs. Getaways K11 but we will sort out all the paperwork to put it on yours as part of the deal. Auction starts at 99p so could...

Welded sill, Valeted, serviced, roadtested and ready to go! Booked in for its MOT on Tuesday then is up for sale! (Y) New drivers door for the GX is sanded and ready for paint so providing we arent over run with transits, Jag X types and Almera crossmembers (Like last week!) we...

As I mentioned in the last post the GX has been put on the back burner while we hope a turquoise door turns up. We got to work on TGR, our blue 'Inspiration' Not much wrong with it really, not compared to the work we done on the turquoise one! It failed its last MOT on drivers sill...

You know how, sometimes, you know something but you are not sure how you found out? One of the things we regularly have to repair is the front exhaust mounting. The one in front of the second cat. It rusts, breaks and rattles. We have a nice technique for repairing them, rather than paying...

Its been a busy week and it looked like nothing was gonna get done on the GX. Until today! We replaced the big holes in the sills with some nice solid metal! :laugh: The worst side was the drivers side, needing a 2 foot long outer section and inner section right back to the trailing arm...

I spelled turquoise wrong in the title! D'oh! Lately we have been posting pics of our cars in the K11 blogs section but we intend having a bit of fun with this one. So without further ado, here is the turquoise terror! Straight from the Nineties complete with bodykit and 3 spoke alloys...

We have loads to do to our 5 door GX, we bought our met blue 'Inspiration' on Friday. We have a pretty full diary next week not counting these cars, so whats the worst thing we could do? Buy another Micra! :laugh: We were tipped off about another turquoise GX. As we need a drivers door for...

Its been a busy week with Non micra work but heres what we managed to get done to the turquoise terror! Finished the back brakes.. New shoes, cables, pipes and cylinders needed. I've done this pic as big as I could for everyone who has stripped the shoes off and cant remember how...

Made a start on the Azures full restoration today. Crusty old crossmember was asked to leave... And a new one was invited to join the project... :laugh: Serviced the engine, freed off the brakes, changed the pads and discs, cv boots and joints but forgot to take pics! Will...

Aparently, Nissan claim its colour is 'Azure' but my eyes tell me its kinda turquoise! LOL! Anyway, after the disappointment of the SLX and its surprising condition I've bought this 5 door S reg GX which needs loads of work! Here it is... Looks ok, doesnt it? Well it isnt! :( Started...

Its finished! Wish all our Micras could be done in that time! I promise to buy a rougher one next time!:laugh: Anyway, here it is, after 14 hours of valeting... We intended using this one as a demonstrator but lets be honest, its too good for running round to McDs or...

Sent the car for its MOT today. Passed with no advisories! :laugh: MOT guy said he couldn't remember last time he done a straight pass on a 16 year old car! This is Stuart with the MOT. This is his modelling debut. He is available at competitive rates for all modelling work! Oh, and...

I didnt realise but I have posted the earlier instalments of this saga in the 'other cars blogs' area. So if you really want to read my weak puns and see my blurry pics of this car and what I've done click my blog entries button under my name. (Thanks for pointing this out R-Reg!) Anyway...
