Da Micra K10

[Reuben]

Hi all, thought I'd start a thread. though the car is still not mine, some work has already been done to it... we got the car with 'bout 94k miles and it was in pretty bad condition. we have since frequently serviced it, replaced carb, reverse light switch, rear exhaust section, front wishbone, brake shoes, front pads plus fixed some rust and painted wheels. oh and added rev counter and sprayed a bit of black on dash :wasntme:

How it stands now: (needs a clean lol)



Process of painting wheels:

Rusted rim:


Blasted:


Brushed underside:


Sprayed zinc rich paint:


Chrome paint:


Done :grinning:


rev counter(sorry only pic i got atm :/):
