Hi all
Ive been looking for a cheap Jap car to use as a daily over the winter while the Corolla hibernates and I try and get on with it as a project!
I wanted something that was at least a bit interesting so i didnt get bored............. Ive always had a soft spot for the Micra Super S...................... so i bought one!!
Here is my little Micra 1300 Super S I bought from a member on here for £185 ;D (Cheers mate :grinning
Well the car doesnt yet have Tax or MOT and its pretty high mileage at 158k but one of the 3 owners had it for 14 years and it was pretty well looked after. All it should need for a new MOT is 2 small patches of welding underneath so its not to bad hopefully!
The suspension has already been replaced for some off a lower milage car.
It seems to drive fine with no smoke or strange noises so i think im good for a good while yet hopefully.
Body work is pretty good but has suffered a few small patches of rust. I think the arches are a little crusty under the Golf GTI plastic arches but Im looking at going wide anyway (you will see why in the pics lol). I even got a mint bonnet free with the car although in a different colour along with some other spares.
Inside its mint apart from a small scuff on the drivers bolster but im not worried about that!
All in all I think its gonna be a lot of fun for not much cash!
Heres some pics....................
A few spares in the boot too
There is a few little rusty bits but nothing I really worried about and ill sort them in time!
I had a bit of fun with my Corolla wheels and yes it will be running these hopefully while the corolla is in storage! Just need some hub adapters and some WIDER arches as well as a bit of lowering!!

Enkei's:
Some of mine with mums 1.0
And the corolla enjoying its daily driving retirement lol
Hope you like it and ill post updates as I do them
