Just looked at the unit. Just enough room to restore the car. Slight leak in roof. So I will be fixing the leak. doing some wiring. then I can start on the car!

Looking at the unit tomorrow after work. I am very excited. Nice 2 car unit. plenty of room to restore the car and have a nice little work bench. On another note some of the parts I have collected have come and since I lasted spoke about parts I have found some epic stuff. I got some brand new march rubber floor matts, brand new oem plastic wind deflectors and oem metal wind deflectors. I got the following coming from japan. The march turbo, super turbo and R had an insane options list. mainly performance parts made my nismo. I have managed to bag one of the rarest options going. The o

Update: Been collecting more parts. On another note. I finally got a unit! 2 car unit, plenty of room to restore a car. should be moving in in the next few weeks So I can finally get work done!

Same here I love them. Reason why its taken priority over the daihatsu. Just waiting on the import costs for the cage at the moment which I am not looking foward to. Also pretty sure I will be buying a camera and doing vlogs of the build. Just something I have always wanted to do.

yeah massive collection mate. got a whole garage of just parts. well the Restoration is put on hold for awhile as i need to clear the garage out before i can restore the shell in it.

Just more part collecting. Managed to source an original optional extra roll cage for the car. Just a half cage which is designed to work with the full interior and still take passengers in the rear. Just another cool optional extra for the car.

Going to be a long few months. Trying to source as many brand new parts as possible. So far within uk as its cheapest but UK dealers are useless as they throw most of it away. So far I have headlights, side repeaters, windscreen seal, wishbones, front wheel bearings, rear hub with bearings, rear drums with shows and pulsar caliper rebuild kit. I have found this amazing website which is linked with dealers in japan. Means I can get every last part for the March even down to the original warning/info stickers. Heres what I plan to buy. window seals, weather strips inside and out, roof strips w

Jesus havnt updated in awhile. march is completely stripped. Was going to put everything on the donor but I have decided to fully restore the donor shell and get it sprayed white.

Need front and rear 82/91 suspension with top mounts. can be anything in any condition. ideally cheap as possible. its just to keep a shell rolling. Thank you, Scott.

Sorry for not updates just been mega busy. just ordered some impul wheels. 14x6 20et front, 14x7 10et rear. fronts is having 10mm 114.3 adapters and the rear drums/hubs are getting redrilled to 114.3

Not much has been happening with this. Been waiting to get it into a unit before I start serious work. Although I finally payed the shipping to get my spoiler. cost silly money. I am really happy with it. Its a J-mode spoiler.

Not much progress. I became ill which I put down to me working in the freezing cold outside on this bloody thing. The engine and loom is out. Plan on fitting it all sometime next month.

Didnt get anything done due to rain. Apparently its raining tomorrow as well! Boo.

Also sat here thinking that the engine is quite high millage and I dont know its history. May do a whole top end rebuild, regrind the valves (may get bigger valves), port match all the ports on the head and manifolds. Or the sake of £400 I can buy a whole new engine and rebuild that with new internals.

Only pictures I got mate. Was quite dark when I finished. Was hoping to get more done. I know the wiring loom in Micra K10s are simple and not much to them but I still wanted to take the time and label any wire that I might question where it goes. presume you were part of the MSC at one stage?

started stripping the march. interior loom is all labelled, interior is stripped out, dash is out. Tomorrow the plan is to take out the fuel tank, fuel lines and start on the engine and box.

This year the car is going sleeper mode until I got the funds for the respray. This years target is Polo steel wheels 5.5j with 185/60/13 nankang ns2r. Nistune ecu and mapped, hoping for 150bhp. Fit an LSD Fit decent suspension (maybe coilovers) Poly bush Bigger brakes Fit a charge cooler and maybe meth injection Updated clutch Uprated fuel pump Should leave me with a standard looking micra but with hopefully at least 150bhp.

the engine is only 86bhp stock but a guy from Finland has been running 180bhp for years now with no issues. With the bigger turbo the car has should be good for atleast 140 once i get it mapped with nistune.

Just going to enjoy the car being turboed for this year. Then next winter the whole shell will get stripped again. These micras are so easy to work on. Dont even need an engine crane to take out the engines. One man can lift them.

cheers mate. the shell is really clean. Car drives so nice as well. Defiantly tell it has had an easy life. Most annoying thing is the sunroof on the car isnt even OEM so its leaking and cant get a replacement so I am just going to weld it up. Bonus is this means there is no drainage ducts to the sills which is why they are not rotted out. No idea on the colour yet but the plan is to get the car running right and at good power. Then its going to be stripped to a bare shell, complete shell respray and then I can colour code the march turbo body panels. Most likely going white.

got two weeks off soon so I plan to get the turbo engine in, gearbox, whole wiring loom, fuel tank and dashboard. Also need to fit the fuel return line. Should be possible in two weeks. going to keep all the body standard looking until i get all the engine running right and mapped. will be a proper little sleeper for awhile.

Bought the car tonight. 22k miles, loads of history. Few things wrong with it but nothing major but its a mega clean shell

Found some pictures of a red march turbo in ireland. rarest colour. most common was white, then the two tone white/blue and lastly was red/black. Starting to like the red. plus its the easiest option. paintwork on the donor car is great. all i will have to do is paint the bodykit black and get the bootlid sprayed red

Found a new shell. only issue is its red, but its 22k miles, spotless MOT history, 2 owners and local
