and i bought some sandblast thingie, to sandblast the turbo which is going to fit in the micra soon aswell :) top one is a GT20, which i plan to fit, bottom one is a IHI RHB5, which is too small i guess.
But i'm very happy with that sandblast thingie, turbos look now like new :)

i was using an special car plastic paint, with primer before that. it seems to be somehow scratch resistant, lets see, i didn't use this type of paint before.

next step is to gather a turbo manifold for the gt20, which really seems to be not that easy. maybe i'll try an selfmade solution, if i can't find a better one :-/

Click to expand...

Yeah I agree - having a deadline definitely helps projects along :)

Good luck with it - a big fan of the white respray & black dash here!

yeah the deadline helps really much and i'm really doing some sort of timetable to get all the "needs-to-be-done" until the deadline finishes. so even with that in mind, i try not to rush :) if i still have time left, i will add the "nice-to-haves" :) this wednesday is engine bay time, i will spray the engine bay in black to keep a nice contrast (as in my orange micra) and will fit the engine, and hopefully i'll get the flywheel out of the cg10 and onto the cg13.

cheers

hey guys,

i made a bit of progress again.
i striped the dirty ugly stock carpet out again, and bought a nice black carpet. all i can say is: f**k what a mess, to get in a carpet like that which is usually for your living room :D

thanks fusca and micratech :)

only thing what sucks about the postert front bumper is, that one fog light got smashed when i crashed the car, and i can't find another fog light like that :(

next update will come tonight/tomorrow, as i'm going later to my garage.

cheers all

lol..been there.. ;)

Ooh! About the foglights for the Postert bumper. I had the same problem, but finally got hold of some foglights that fitted perfectly in the hole in the bumper. They even have angeleyes! I have kept them secret till now cause i wanted to fit them someday together with the new versions of the crystal black headlights from Depo (the ones with lens inside and angeleyes). I can locate them in my garage and see what manufacturer of the foglights if you would like Mik?

And please do copy what i have just mentioned, cause I would love to see this setup on a white micra together with the 2003 TW spec led rear lights.. ;)

thanks micratech :)

yeah would be really awesome if you could check out which manufacturer the foglights are, as i really looked at a lot of foglights, but they were all crap.

yeah i love the depo lights too, might think of buying one sometime hehe.

cheers

/@ micratech, i wrote you a msg but it seems that the email adress was wrong, can you send me your email adress again? :) i got some good news :D

99% done, today i made the rear of the car.
after measuring and cutting out the wood, i mounted two (hinge?) joints so it can be lifted and i installed a damper from the k11 hatch underneath. so now the complete rear can be lifted, and there is some room for audio stuff and spare wheel, first aid, etc.

it opens and closes really smooth.
