now the k11,known on here as 'project fatherandson' is on the road i figured i would create a thread detailing how it was all done(from thought to planning,design,fabricating,and fitting) in case anyone has similar plans,ideas etc they can ask and maybe i can help with it.if not.well at least you got to see a scabby 1.0 profile granny-chariot turn into something more interesting.
a few people asked'why a micra?'.the easy answer is'why not?' it shows a bit of imagination,isnt the run-of-the-mill corsas,saxos,106s that many young drivers own and modify.and if it has a grannys shopper image then isnt it just more of a challenge to shake off that image?and even in 1000cc form the little k11 is no slouch.its nippy,zips in and out of traffic,and is great fun to drive,whereas a 1000cc corsa is really quite,shall we say,pedestrian.
so,over the next few im going to detail what was done,and how.whats still to be done,and what will be done over the next year or so.and you can follow how i took my sons little k11 from this.....
