Leaning towards a V8 for my next project... Are you replacing the liners on this one? If so how are the new ones "Shrunk in"? I've done a google on it but couldn't find much....

I ran a Micra back in the early 00's, it was for a quick trade in on a dodgy clio... Excellent little car... 1.3 glx.... POWER!!! Cheap as chips to run.... I got bored though and got an ST24 after that... but the Micra never let me down... If you can stand the comments they are extremely...

:hysterically_laughi Ok.... :p ... So its a big secret like KFC's recipe hey... JM's special chassis sauce?!?....:ban:.... :D

The slight "fly in the ointment" , he actually needs to GET to work... :eek: :behindsofa: ...... :D

Yeah E55... Looking at that or a C55 as my next daily... :D:D 30 (cough 20) mpg...

Sorry mate... I added to and came up with galvanised :D When you say Prepped and Treated??... expound sir... :)

How much to galv the chassis?

Oh ok I thought you meant easier to remove if there is no tension or rusting... :doh::doh: I get it now. just removing one side so they can be slipped out. Yeah makes sense I should have done it when I had it all apart.... :violent: next time I come to have them out I'll cut the slots ...

For an MOT you should be fine, providing it meets the criteria. Check the link The Mot Inspection Manual-Testers Manual Just make sure the parts are up to the job...

Just a hacksaw blades width? ... Not my grinder :D

Just got to decide on the next project after this.... my wife WILL be pleased :D

Thanks mate.. :D not quite new but it should, hopefully, last me a few years. The knowledge gained has probably been the most valuable thing....

Outstanding... You are an artist sir!! :D

Another gorgeous weekend of sunny weather meant alot of progress on Bumblebee. The Stallion popped round on Friday night and so ensued another weekend of to much beer, whiskey... absinth :D and take-aways :mad: whilst working on the Landy. Due to having an extra pair of hands I was able to get...

Second that... Pick up a cheap one and if you just use the cheap parts it'll cost you a lot less than a car to run. Bit of a crapper I know, but every cloud and all that.. Second Landy :D

OO!OO! OO! .. YOUR MUM!!!!.... (Mr Noisy has a word) Oh its not that kind of game...... Sorry :(

Easy to do mate and plenty of good tutorials around. Just make sure you torque the nut holding the bearing to the correct setting. If you have a haynes it tells you what it should be. You can buy bearing kits (Timken) for around £15 online and they include all the bits you need to change. If...

Yeah I think my wife is so ****ed off with it on the drive she would agree to anything :) it will be a while before its built so this project is going to be finished outside. Mostly looking forward to having the space inside to work and being able to have gas bottles, tools etc safe and sound...

You did indeed my friend... it will be extremely useful. :D

Cheers matey... its been a lot of fun and there is still plenty more to do. Although its old I love the fact that it is not over complicated which means I can do stuff on it... :)
