My K10 micra

[Grevs]

I got this car about a year ago now its a 1.0 litre 1992 I have always had a great interest in cars and got it so i could just do my own thing with it and pass time until i start driving it.
This is when i got it its in a very bad state here i have been told its a restoration project :devil:
Please leave comments on what you think whether its good or bad and ideas for mods as well.

Hey Grevs nice k10 too one quick ques, was the suspension hard to get out? do i need spring compressors?

 

[Grevs]

Tanx Reuben
Not hard at all front is 4 bolts ya just leave the cap on the shock and the rear is just as easy ya dont need spring compressors at all

 

[Reuben]

oh so for the fronts, undo the bottom 2 and the upper 2 but leave the upper middle nut untouched?

 

[Grevs]

excatly and the rear is 1 on top and 1 on bottom

 

[Reuben]

a ok thanks

 

[Grevs]

[Grevs]

Fitted my grill today
What do ya think???

And do you think i should use these or not??
Please excuse the dirt of the car

 

[Shaun]

looking good (Y) when do the lights come on? i.e fogs or high beam?

guards would be good for this type of weather!

 

[Grevs]

Have them on a separate switch m8
do you think I should do the nissan on them red or leave it white??

 

[Shaun]

depends on how good you are with a brush and if your not lazy like me

would look good in either colour really,

Keep it up (Y)
