Hi all, i joined here to find a K11 Super-S as my daily and at the begining of the year i picked up Eliot's K11. Havent done much to it but i will be befoe JAE hopefully so i thought id start a blog to keep track of the changes.

Dispite the rain got a few things done, first off poped up to the breakers and picked up a coulpe of things namley a new aerial as the old one was broken at the head unit plug. Also picked up an 02 plate rear wipr motor and the number plate trim as one of the lugs had broken so it was flaping about when lifting the boot.

Loads of patients was needed to pas the cble down the a piller as i didnt have anything to hand to feed it down

While i was there i decided to change the ignition barrel back over to the origonal so i have one key. Figured it was the switch at the back at fault hence the previous swap.

Nearly back together with a couple of new shear bolts

Got a pic of the rear wiper in its new spot, no faffing about with covers off and gears just go one from an 02 plate and its plug and play :grinning:

The front is still looking sorry for itself but with a new front panel to go on and get the bumper painted by the bodyshop at work it will be all good for JAE. The Bang Tidy sticker isnt a permenant fixture :laugh:

Also ordered from work some genuine wind deflectors, chuffed.

I must admit i bought it for the daily use but its moved swiftly to the top of my projects. Im hoping the repray will be before JAE but if not it will be patched in so show and shine might e out of reach, this year.

Shaun, im thinking of puttng together a goup buy and possibly take them to JAE and save on postage. only a limited number left from Nissan.

So ive picked up most of my parts now and its time to get the front end sorted. I knew Eliot had had a bump but no dramas, on a closer look i thought the front panel could do with replacing due to age and the bump so on we go.

Stretched tyres is a must.

The panel is from Hadrians panels and has all the holes and captive nuts etc, only thing you have to swap is the lower rad mounts.
