That's nothing, you should see my silver Violet, the B pillar rattles and emits rust particles when you slam the door! It has a panoramic floor! You can bump start it with your feet while sitting on the drivers seat! Last time I had a car this bad (apart from my Mini, Hillman Imp, Morris Marina, Fiat 127) it was yellow and red!  |

got the ht leads, dizzy cap and air filter today so done the service its been waiting for, the new plugs from local shop are bigger than the old ones and caused it to not start and misfire more than before, eventually put the old sparks back in and works better. ran to temperature with new oil etc, idles pretty nicely after a while, too loud obviously because it has no exhaust but that'll get done when the weldings done soon after the micra gets its holes welded up so i actually have a car to drive haha. kinda wish the previous owner left the paint all tatty instead of giving it a bad respray, orange peel is everywhere  i think this would look insane with a natural patina look |

got the drivers side boot joints done, what an absolute bitch of a job with no ramp! been fiddling with trying to get the timing done, backfires like guns going off, pissed the neighbours right off haha! taken off the rocker and side cover for the timing belt, filthy towards the bottom so i think where the boot joints split before its spat the oil all over the back of the back and its made its way into there, giving the bolts and cover a clean in hot water and fairy liquid, getting a timing gun off my brother soon  |

Did you struggle with the screw head bolts holding the cover on? Mine was a nightmare! more of a struggle getting to them than getting them off, got them cleaned up and ready to go back on when im next playing with her, hopefully when i get the timing gun off my brother, nothing i can really do to her until its weldings done or go the misfire and timing sorted! |

put the cover back on but couldnt get the bottom right bolt to grip at all! got a timing gun so going to attempt that soon, tried to start it but would even spark so fiddle with that again tomorrow too, need to get condenser and coil but rusty micra is holding me back -.- stupid mot, tried an old morris minor roof rack on earlier and fits alright, might get some wood and build up a frame for packing with wheels for rimscarnated when i eventually take it to shows  |

tried fitting a k11 micra fuel filter today, pipe was a bit too small so literally rammed it on, should work ahaha, tried to get a condenser my dad had laying about to fit too but the bit the main distributor plug plugs to wasnt making contact but held it on to try make contact anyway and try but still no start, going to put some fuel in after micras weldings done when i can actually afford it and hope its just because its got barely any fuel

I saw one of these today, an H reg red one with the round headlights. Next time I see it I will do the usual yank the handbrake up spin round and chase it and give him my number to ring when the time comes.
It is always about in Tankerton and Whitstable if anyone on here happens to live near

It's not H139 XTW but it is very close. I will find the van and where it lives as it will only be scrapped sooner or later if I don't give the guy my details.
It is a two door with round headlamps
