Trailer Trash

[Lord Sterling]

Knowledge? You will regret asking that Mo! Yes I have seen your Micra. I parked between it and a horrid pink Corsa a couple of weeks ago!

So this Micra was bought brand new by a friend of mine's Grandmother.....

 

...a bad mot fail has seen it back in my ownership. Despite it being regularly waxoyled in its life, the rot on it is now near terminal in the inner rear wheel arches.

I'm going to have a good look at it and hopefully get it through another mot. I think I'll just keep it as a spare car

No regrets at all! Yes, that horrible Pink Corsa was there a while, it gained the mess of a constipated pigeon and a tall glass of some red alcoholic drink on the roof. It's since gone.

 

Ma's Micra does get moved about but always back in the same spot, the back of it has a bonnet and 2 bumpers ready to be fitted on when it actually does go in for work.

 

If I'm passing I'll give you call as I'd love to take a closer look at the Micra, I've still got small bits and bobs all over the place for K11 Micras.

Wanted: knowledge about the Silver K11 in your yard. I also have one here parked up.

Sorry, I spouted all that useless information at you.

 

What I meant to say is that it has its original mats and plastic headlamp covers and all handbooks

Actually D, you first saw Mo's Micra a few years ago, when we bought that Kia Pride from you!

He meant the blue one Ma's now damaged Micra which is at mone, the roffle one is with Ma and Sis who are happily using it regularly.

This just makes me want to see it more now!

[Scruffy Bodger]

I'm willing to put some time into the little Micra to save it. I've fond memories of driving that little car, especially in the snow. I quite literally managed to get places in it that people were only attempting in 4x4's

That's because you are unhinged

[D Spares & Tyres]

Well, for anybody that is interested here are some Micra pictures.

 

The next few pictures are of interest to Mo only...

 

It looks like Mo has already paid it a visit. Or it could be paint I suppose

So I took the bumper off and had a tug

Not much there. Or there

Those two pictures are up inside the inner wing by the fuel filler neck.

Indeed.

 

Found this nice old school bodge

 

Verdict? It's fucked. I can't weld it from behind. It needs the filler neck removing and maybe also the fuel tank. Also I can't see how to weld it up without removing the complete rear wing.

 

Sadly I think it's future will be oval shaped initially then cuboid

 

Sad, especially as the mechanical parts should last indefinitely!

Yay! Field bangers or rods?

This is the Shitters version of that Lottery winner in Kent that blew all his money on women, and fast cars being ragged around the fields on the farm he bought..  Ferrari been field raced by a chav anyone.. ??

I wonder who bodged it with fibreglass? 

 

Could access be made from the inside and stitching it back in?

I can't be arsed with it, you are more than welcome to fuck about with it.

Micra rods!

 

Not by me though, that's just where I assume it will end up!

 

No rush on making a decision though, it won't be going for a while. Hopefully Scurvy Badger can find the enthusiasm to sort it!

[Scruffy Bodger]

Message me when a good time is to catch you in the daylight and I'll come and have a look.

[D Spares & Tyres]

Anytime! It's currently in my private* car park down Pinkham Lane...

[Lord Sterling]

Hopefully scruffy Bodger can breath some life into, but if not, can I baggsy the:

 

Floor mats

Wheel trims

Front bumper

Hanbooks

Mud flaps

Headlight protectors.

 

Hope it gets saved though.
