so here she is my new micra after the tragic death of noddy ( RIP getting crushed friday ;( )
anyways onto what ive done in the last 3 weeks of ownership, ima skip the boring part and just show pictures of its progress with minor explanations of whats going on cuz i know you all like pictures
so here she is in stock form lets just say that didnt last very long
lovely isnt she?
shame about the broken plate anyways moving on
about a week after buying her and driving her all the way back from donnington park i had put a fair few miles on the thing and decided it was time to paint the grilles black since i hate chrome, also installed the jap plate i bought since the current plate wouldnt have passed an MOT.
then came the interior mods, a little paint here, and a nice new shiny knob.
i then went to a meet in doncaster and met Josh who used to own a red 1.4 and before that a sr, he ever so kindly took me back to his place and handed me his old sr tailgate handle which im still ever so greatfull for, thanks josh, lets just say we had some fun that night.
(damn dat booty)
moving on..
i accidently hit a pole at 5mph whilst avoiding a van who had jumped the lights, i didnt think to look at the plate and it was only cosmetic damage i can fix that
all fixed
ofcourse its not perfect but whats the point in making it perfect gotta show off those battle scars
i drove around like this for a day before hating the sight of that primer patch and went all out with the £1 primer and paint from poundworld, i dont think it came out too bad
drove around like this for a day before deciding that it should be mirrored for better looks and so this happened aswell
and finally we make it to today where i got myself some new headlights due to the old ones having a hole in them the size of a pea, im geuss stone went straight through it cuz you can hear a ratteling sound when you shake it
aint she just purdy.
i also painted my micra emblem on the back gold but ill get pics of that tomorrow when i pick up the gromet to do my rear wiper delete.
shes a clean little car considering i only paid £245 for her (ebay ftw) she drives great with only 67k on the clocks and is clean as a wistle less rust than my last one which was a minter aswell
just a few little dings in the body work one with some rust but nothing i cant fix with a cheap can of primer and some body filler at hand.
i have a feeling this one will last me longer than noddy, ima try to not role this one either xD
more to come soon....
