NIIICE! Super cool that you finally got her working, can't wait till mine runs again too. Sounds really nice as well.

Update! Finally got the engine bay finished. Primed Wet sanded And painted. SHINY! Also had one of the fenders sorted out in the meantime Also, guess I better clean this crud up now as well Now to finish cleaning up the gearbox and paint it, put the engine back in the bay and...

More slow progress. Most of the bay was spot welded, remainder will be done once I take off the steering rack. Also sprayed all the bare metal with epoxy primer.

Neat! Were those JDM only? Curious, cause I got a set from the breakers, along with combination front bumper lights (position/turn indicator). I think they might've been used in early preface models, not too sure. No idea if I'll decide to fit them either, not that easy to find and I'd hate to...

Small update on cleaning the engine bay. Wirebrushed most of the rust spots away, blew out all the detritus with compressed air, cleaned off most of the underbody sealant which was where it should not be and scraped most of the seam seals. Looking a lot cleaner already. Also, took some of the...

Some more progress photos. Test fitted the radiator, made a bracket for the coolant reservoir and radiator mounts, with K11 radiator bushes as they were a perfect fit for the steel profile I used. Also got all that stuff and engine mounts welded into place. Now to wait an eternity to find out...

Some more progress (or lack thereof) So, with the engine and box test-bolted together I applied them to the engine bay to see how stuff fits in there. The pulleys are pretty close to the frame, especially the power steering pump one, as it sits behind the engine and about 0.5 cm away from where...

Ok, so I pulled out the driveshafts and they do fit the CG13 hubs. Yay! Also, that means another update post is due. First of all, here's a pic of the aforementioned crossmember: Also, I went from this: To this: Yep, seems I've gone past the point of no return. No way but forward and...

Okay, a quick text update post: Micra is getting a fresh new crossmember, sturdy enough to have an armour plate mounted to it down the road, which should be done tomorrow. Also means that I can have the front engine mount positioned as needed, hopefully using the K11 one, since the K10 ones are...

PROGRESS FINALLY So yeah, the engine was partially reassembled and then work was halted due to several cars my friends had to wrap up before Micra could be parked in the to have the engine and all the other bits pulled out. At long last, today I could get her in and started the preparations. So...

Niiice, can't wait to see how the whole thing looks put together. Shame the Nissan logo on the valve cover is so flat, otherwise you could sand it back to bare metal to make it stand out, like I'm gonna do with my CG13 once I touch up the spots where paint peeled.

Oh wow, a proper grounds-up resto. Looks great, colour me impressed.

Oh yeah, I remember how annoying it was to reach some of those bolts back behind all the hoses and everything. Shame I can't really help you with K10 attendance on JAE. Even though I will hopefully have mine running by then, it's a tad too far and fuel costs alone would be enough to buy another...

Whoa, such a clean and pristine specimen and with a sunroof to boot. Looks like you drove her out of the dealership.

As it always seems to be, there were some delays, but finally we got the engine and remaining bits painted and I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. Slowly started reassembly yesterday and realizing I might not have taken enough reference photos. Oh well... The valve cover still needs to...

Progress! Finally got some time with my friends on Monday and started painting stuff. Engine getting primed The accompanying bits primed And some of them painted black already. The remaining ones will have another colour on them, or be a mix of the two. Either way, some more masking is...

Nobody? Oh well, guess the K10 section is even quiter than it looks. Looks like I gotta double post. Anyways, more stuff that's happened until now: Why 3/4 of a K11? Well... ...she wasn't in the greatest of shapes. Apparently bunch of guys were hooning around on an abandoned airfield and...

'ello lads. First post on this excellent board, so I should introduce myself a little before we continue with the Micra. My name's Mike, a 23-year-old guy from Poland. I first stumbled upon MSC back in 2013 when researching my options of upgrading the suspension and wheels. I remember finding a...
