Andy_S Micra SR20 - Done Properly

[McMicra]

Not doing it for me sorry bud :/

 

[cgten]

I'm a sucker for the standard look, so naturally this confuses me slightly. That said it's your car man, do crazy things to it and enjoy doing it. I look forward to seeing the result.

 

[h701micra]

@Andy_S I'm glad you're doing something different
Best of luck

 

[Jen319]

I think it looks great Andy
Lovely finish.

 

[Andy_S]

Look at the room!

 

[Jen319]

....you will do something about the badge though....right?

 

[Andy_S]

Yeah of course lol dunno what yet though lol

 

[h701micra]

That's just asking for a twin turbo setup

 

[Andy_S]

Vr6 engine more like

 

[h701micra]

Bigger...

 

[Andy_S]

2.8l v6

 

[h701micra]

2.8l v6

Well volunteered. Don't forget the turbo

 

[Andy_S]

Lol ok twin turbo or turbo and supercharger

 

[h701micra]

Lol ok twin turbo and supercharger

Fixed
You'll be busy

 

[Enuo]

2.8? Pah. 3.0 V6 from the ST220, with a supercharger and turbocharger

 

[Andy_S]

Haha yeah

 

[Andy_S]

My mechanic has a vr6 golf and it shifts! It sounds awesome too

i think there was a company called storm (near london) who did supercharger kits for the vr6. someone I used to know had one running 400bhp in his golf, that thing was quite something.

 

[Andy_S]

Once this sr20 Micra is finished we were contemplating on doing a VR6 powered Micra too lol

 

[RyanEllis]

might aswell make it a v8

 

[Andy_S]

cut bonnet front end off

The master at work getting creative

Grinding down the golf front slam panel rear for welding bolts to it to align up with Micra holes

bonnet refitted, wing trimmed to fit but needs a bit more cutting back and incorporate golf wing headlight section.


We had a idea of using the golf bonnet as it is which is 2" wider each side therefore we would have to bring the wings out making the front end look wider, however I doubt that would happen but here's a pic of how much 2" wider would be.

 

[h701micra]

K11 Wide body... why not

 

[Andy_S]

Well front end shouldn't be that hard as I have the bumper the wings the grill the bonnet all off the golf lol

 

[Andy_S]

Means I could fit deeper wheels too without poke

 

[h701micra]

Get on it
Fronts easy as I found with Nissanubaru but the back is a pita to create

 

[Andy_S]

Calling mine niswagen milf lol

 

[h701micra]

Calling mine niswagen milf lol

I like the creativity

 

[cgten]

You HAVE to get custom emblems and badges made up for this.

 

[Andy_S]

It was my intention to get custom badges however I'm unsure how to do it. Should I just use those chrome letters and spell it myself? Or is a Micra badge and a golf badge and merge them together. Hmm

 

[cgten]

Get a normal Nissan badge made, but with the word NISSWAGON in the Nissan font, then try and get the word MILF in the Micra font. Would look awesome.

 

[h701micra]

I got a sticker for Nissanubaru in japanese font

 

[Jen319]

Oooooh, I feel a photoshop moment

Back in a jiffy


Edit:

My micra font isn't quite right <_< ....gonna have to try and DL a different one sometime

 

[Andy_S]

Wow I like it!

 

[Andy_S]

My mate doing more work to the wing cutting both Micra and golf wings and welding together. Gonna be awesome when done. My mate is in his element at the moment.

I AM wide arching the Micra too and the golf front end will be 'bad boy' styled with a twist!

Anyhow progress pics

Then added bit of golf bonnet

Lyniching (spelling) down the welds so it's smooth

Bit more welding

End result for today.

Spent about a hour and a half on it tonight as was stripping the black Micra

More pics soon

 

[Enuo]

I always thought linishing was belt sanding for metal apparently not

 

[Andy_S]

Well yeah the grinding disc has a different texture on the bottom which looks like sandpaper to me but for metal. I'll get a pic of the disc

 

[Noddie]

Its called a flap wheel... the rotary version of a belt sander

[Andy_S]

More progress. Done a few lips for the custom wing to bolt to the chassis and liniched the win up ready for fiberglassing and body filler. gonna make it look as factory as possible

Pics coming soon as forgot to take some haha.

 

[Glen]

[Andy_S]
