I love the smell of WD40 :)

Began stripping the interior today to save some time and money on the welding repairs and to search for any other rotten areas. Looking for some bits to replace some rusted ones if anyone has what I need... so far I need 2 of the luggage tie-downs for the back, the left back seat bracket, and...

I haven't been under it yet to look at the brake line, I thought it was the one just there at the drum, but it's further forward.. I knew the front brakes would get a mark just because they are to rusty, but I was going to do a brake job soon anyway. Need to replace the left ball joint, which...

Ok, so just got the call that I didn't want.. It's rusted out in the sills and they want an absurd amount to fix it... plus a list of other things that were not really problems, but usually end up on the list. He said the brakes were crooked and damaged, which is crap, since I can brake in a...

Just dropped it off for mot. only about 2 months late :/ ...hoping for the best. It's weird not seeing it in the usual place at work :(

Finally gave it a much needed cleaning inside and out.. Off for MOT in the morning, I know it's going to fail because of rust, but I haven't the equipment/experience to do it myself. Going to see what other failures there are before deciding it's fate.

Would like to do this... please pardon the crappy job.. did it in MS paint

Today I found out why it has been hard to start recently(much cranking and a coughing hesitant start with much black smoke).. A few months ago I had lost the tiny spring that goes between the dizzy and the cap, but got mixed answers when I asked about it on here... short answer is that you can...

- when you pull into a parking lot, you always try to park near another micra - feeling a bit down because there were no other micras to park near :( - when the high point of the day was parking beside an identical micra and seeing the owner checking out your car :D - having a bone stock...

WDID? realized that many of the drivers here don't appreciate the little green beast that prowls their motorways which are filled with black and gray mercs and volvos. Nearly been taken out 3 times today. First one was just annoying, second was a bit scary, and the third really p****d me off...

Oil change and new fuel filter.. running like a top again. Next step, removing rust and filling some holes :/

Ideas and updates for July(written on lack of sleep, possibly to be edited at a later time when I am more alert and thinking better in english :) I've taken several road trips the past few weeks(as I've got to do MOT before the end of the month, but I'm fairly certain it will fail due to rust)...

Went for a nice brisk drive in the hills :D http://goo.gl/maps/jVcM

Sorted out my insurance finally.. got an extension on my MOT... first good drive since january :D Hopefully everything is in order to make the mods I want to make before August

Sorted my insurance finally.. also saw a very nice red 4wd k11 drive past my work... was drooling for a moment :D.. a bit rare from what i understand

WDID? Went digging for rust... and found it :( Left side jack point: Right side just ahead of the jack point: Funny enough, according to what I have read in the Norwegian MOT descriptions about rust.. this isn't necessarily a fail.. only enough for an advisory. We shall see.

Perhaps look under another micra for reference to make sure it has been welded in all the right places, and if so, you have pics to prove it. I have to mine soon and I hope I don't have trouble from the mot guys.

Third!

Update of my first post, Issues that have been fixed: Known issues and general condition at purchase: Some light rust behind the front right wheel arch, along the roofline of the boot, other various small patches Right side door slightly dented, left fender dented near headlight Right door...
