[QUOTE="yoeddynz, post: 789750, member: 29813"] So a quick update. Moved some cars about the yard a few days ago so I could get [URL='https://oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/profile/17073-tumeke/']@Tumeke[/URL] Triumph wagon onto our hoist. It was quite fun lining up the little cars and snapping some pics.. [url=https://postimg.cc/0K0Wb7xD][img]https://i.postimg.cc/HnffvthZ/20201115-200333.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://postimg.cc/RJS81ggX][img]https://i.postimg.cc/SRChh5CF/20201115-200403.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://postimg.cc/y3Hp1Lq7][img]https://i.postimg.cc/4yKD10BH/20201115-201818.jpg[/img][/url] Still not sure which of the 1.3 engines we'll keep as yet to do compression tests. Once we know we can then work out the order of parts swapping. But more importantly - we have pretty much decided on the names.. Milly is the light blue one- the first. Seems to have the peppiest of the 1.3 , most likely due to having been trashed the most by various previous owners inc one who used it for food deliveries. Molly is the 2nd one- the dark green one with the full fat list of options. I think her heart is a little bit of an oil burner and this is still a common excuse I'll stick to when arguing my case in the economy run we did. Plus her tyres are wider and were flat.. The new one, the darling of the bunch in striking yellow has been named Minky. She is such a clean wee car, low mileage and gives her best when trashed- which is all you can do when faced with our local hill because that little 1.0 with slushbox combination requires it. So other than driving them we have not yet done any work or swaps. It will wait until after xmas time probably because we are behind on paid work etc. But still buying bits- stuff that we don't need but couldn't resist. I bought this from Ebay... [url=https://postimg.cc/4m3bzDQr][img]https://i.postimg.cc/BQTYGsLQ/20201119_220256_(Large).jpg[/img][/url] I love car brochures and this one has not disappointed.. [url=https://postimg.cc/Vr1X5pNZ][img]https://i.postimg.cc/0QKnXq1v/20201119_220452_(Large).jpg[/img][/url] Must get some driving gloves for our sports march we are building...

[url=https://postimg.cc/VS4kBVRV][img]https://i.postimg.cc/xCVNYrbn/20201119_221545_(2)_(Large).jpg[/img][/url] Certainly has the Autostrada seats though... [url=https://postimg.cc/069NSspS][img]https://i.postimg.cc/0NwKL5jV/20201119_220758_(Large).jpg[/img][/url] I'll be looking to change my wardrobe attire to more in order fit in with the upper society levels of Micra ownership... [url=https://postimg.cc/56k5psPj][img]https://i.postimg.cc/Mpzs64V0/20201119_220620_(2)_(Large).jpg[/img][/url] Millies magic crystal that Hannah loves so much is an optional extra... [url=https://postimg.cc/DSk02s0B][img]https://i.postimg.cc/K84MDD2S/20201119_220706_(2)_(Large).jpg[/img][/url] And with such fantastic things like that crystal and all the other great features that a Nissan K11 micra/march offers its no wonder that passengers are obviously bloody thrilled to take a seat in one!...
