Continuing on from the last post again... So I've got my seats, and they look really good. But I'm not putting them in yet. I've got 3 big plans for these. For one of these plans, I need to measure the inner fabric... Bottom, back to front: 47cm Bottom, right to left: 32cm Top, right to left...

Continuing on from the last post... I had to give the preface tail light a good clean. A lot of the roads in Finland are dirt roads, and in the summer it becomes very dry and dusty. Almost like driving on sand. So a lot of dust was inside the tail light, particularly as a part of the light above...

Woah, I haven't updated in a long time. I've been quite busy doing extra work and lots of car stuff as well as my other hobby! So, these photos are over a few weeks. I've never actually washed my microfibre cloths. I usually just barely hang on with miniscule clean patches, or buy new ones. It...

Ah good. That saves me the hassle then. Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

So, the new label & trim method worked very nicely with the headlights! Better than with bluetac, as now none of the chrome is pulled off from the reflector. These look good. It is the 3rd time I've done this now. Running out of paint didn't help, but the most visible areas are coated well...

Time to get scrubbing on this then! It started looking good immediately. The wirebrush attachments on my drill made this 100 times faster. Bit more cleaning down, and the holes for the lead holders (most of which were filled with the broken bottom end of the holder) emptied out. Soon enough...

Haven't updated in ages! I bought a wraparound spoiler! This isn't for me, it's for Eddie. It's in great condition, including the studs. It's got a bit of a crack on one corner but we can fix that. Final sanding of the track car bumper. At least I think. The driveway needed some TLC, so the...

You know more than me, I've only got stock speakers. I'd like to upgrade some time too. I also wouldn't know what to get.

So, first time using body filler! Seemed fairly easy, the first side went on well. I made another batch of filler and did the other side, this time doing a bit of the middle line connecting the strips. Another go, now the line is completely covered. One final go, this time also filling in...

A great sunny day, where I'm not at work, because I'm supposed to be at Japfest 2020. Stupid pandemic! Well, I got a chance to do some work on that rear bumper. I just had to Dremel off some last bits. Notice the nasty scratches on the left side of the bumper! Soon enough I had it cut down...

Ah I was testing the speaker connection in the annoying new plug, had to control the radio remotely

I'm waiting on some goodies from abroad, one of which will fit in here. Or will it? My panel is a little different, but I think with some chopping it'll accept the new bits. I'll practice on a spare before I potentially ruin my dark one. After much research, the prefacelifts and facelifts have...

A quick look at it in action with less sunlight. I've never seen the foglights on on their own before. Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

I've now got time off, as I finally finished my dissertation. Here's a mod I've been planning to do for months now. I thought of it the last time I broke one of my rear indicator bulbs. And a while after, at work, when a rear indicator blew. On the front it's not so bad to lose a bulb. The...

The 8mm to 12mm adaptor arrived. Funnily enough the filter is actually 13mm and the pipe is 9mm, but these'll be held on with clips. I swapped my rear wiper arm for a prefacelift one! Now that looks much more smart. Metal too, no plastic rubbish. Matches the front ones now. It's quite a small...

Hmm, will look into it, though this setup isn't much different to the stock one. I'll do some more research.

Wow, that arrived quickly! I only bought this yesterday, and this morning it's here. Really cool filter. Sent from my F8331 using Micra Sports Club mobile app

Still adding lacquer to the boot handle. I had to add a bit more KY5 along the bottom as it hadn't really covered it all down there. It was so shiny today that the plate was dazzling! The new pipe adaptor arrived today. I've been waiting for this. Originally I was just going to attach the...

Update: After a drive, I've noted a few things. 1: The sealant didn't hold the coilpack. Ah well, it doesn't normally pop out enough to lose connection and I'll get a new one soon. 2: The sealant might have limited the oil leak but it's not stopped it. As before there's even oil smoke from where...
