I have no doubt the wee micra wont pass the MOT. Well done guys for doing the repairs outside in the cold, not everyone has the luxury of a garage to work in.
Loving a bit of Micra action. They have a habit of eating brake pipes and tend to rot at sills and front cross member but mechanically are sound. Intrigued to see what it becomes
badge of honor the weld ,had a few k11s they use to say if they had a sunroof caused a lot of problems on sill and corrosion something to do with the drainage ,great engine bullet proof although face lift not has good has earlier k11 Renault started getting involved with nissan
I do wish it was a pre face lift but it will still be cool when we are finished with, the good thing about this car is everything is solid except the 2 rear cills, a good coat of sealer and itll be good for years to come. Thanks for watching.
I remember some old people saying "we don't have winters like we use too" we'll they're back again - 5 freezing fog here in Cheshire last night and it's going to be colder tonight. Great video again Scottie, fingers 🤞for the mot pass.
Gordon Bennett - Tis NOT the season to be working on the driveway !!! Almost up to 6k subs - well done - onwards and upwards - woah - just behind Charlie there - Micra's galore on the driveway !!
The K11 is a fantastic car, had a 1.216v in red early 2006 while i was at college, before that i had a K10 Match edition, the rust got to that one though.
Awesome video as always guys. Always looking forward to a Sunday night for the new video, constantly checking my notifications to see when it's uploaded 😂😂 keep up the good work and it's amazing to see how much the channel is growing
Thanks Steven, every Sunday at 8pm unless RUclips is on a go slow 😂 and the odd Wednesday at 8 but there will be more midweek videos in the new year. Thanks for watching.
@@HomeBuilt brilliant guys, always look forward to them, you need to get Charlie out of school and on the spanners/camera full time. Im a mechanic at a Subaru/Isuzu garage out in eaglesham so if yous ever need any advise or parts please don't hesitate to reach out.
@@flippingcarsrepairs nice,we don't see to many of them anymore, mostly just outbacks, xvs and the new fully electric Subaru. Same to yourself,if you need any help with anything I'd be more than happy to help yous out if I can
Just came across your videos other night. Good to see another Scottish driveway mechanic lol.. seen you get your paint from spraystore. Where bouts u from I'm in mother well :)
Tried to buy a T-shirt but the site just says " hang tight, almost there " but doesn't go onto payment page..fingers crossed you get it sorted...here was me buying a T-shirt and it's freezing outside and a couple of feet of snow!!
Plenty of K11 sill repair panels on ebay but not cheap. Ideally keep aerosols vertical so not accidentally spraying pure propellant and point downwards so no overspray above the masking tape.
Ive had a look, most of them seem to come from Poland also and im not sure what shippimg that far would be like for damage/cost. When i oick the car back up we are rubbing it down for paint.
Ordered! Love the videos and hope Micra passed! What happened in 2014 had 28k then following year 144k. 110k in a Micra in one year would take some doing
Brilliant, thank you. Not sure about the mileage, me and chops think its had a cluster replacement at some point. Im 100% convinced the actual mileage is below 60k
Just ordered my t-shirt. I thought that they would be extortionate but they wern’t hence the purchase. I ordered a 2xl but the receipt says regular. How do i correct this please? I’m looking forward to seeing more videos of the micra especially as i came over from chops garage.
Thank Paul that’s awesome, I have seen your email and I will make sure you get the correct size. I can’t wait to get some more done on the Micra, it will be awesome when it’s finished.
Very reliable motors in the day, but they did suffer from rot unfortunately. Fingers crossed for you on the mot. Great video content as usual especially leaving us hanging in the balance awaiting an answer lol.
I have two like that and at this age they have aaround a 55% pass rate which is good at that age and compared to the competition. Should be ok on the mot
Brilliant video as always, I’m a driveway way mechanic no motivation though in this weather so hats off to you both ,are you using gassless mig to weld the sills
@@HomeBuilt I would wax oil it as opposed to under seal that cracks and will let salt water in. My mazda only had 33k on it, was only 9 years old looked like it had been down a salt mine only saving grace it did teach me to weld, lesson learned don't but a Scottish or a North East of England car.
I built a few of these at home back in the day..fitted side skirts from a Suzuki beino..the under pinnings are very similar to mk1 fiesta if you look at the drive train and suspension set up from underneath i often wondered if the japs stole the design .. front crossmembers used to fall out these with rot finger crossed this one ok for you or you got more miging to do..good video lads full of the cold myself not done anything outside for a week now….🏴👍🥶🔩🛢 13:01

You can't beat a nice bit of " ARC EYE THE NOO" !
😂 my mask was playing up, I need to have a look at it when I get a chance.
This should become a RUclips pass around car. Could soon make it the best K11 Micra on British roads.
I think its almost as famous as BORIS, people are always asking about it.
Looking forward to the micro mod. 👍👍👍👍👍
We are too, been planning it for ages.
One best Nissan ever produced
Yep, that and the R33 skyline
I’ve enjoyed your video great little car I’ve seen a few of these with a turbo fitted go well .
The turbo and manual conversion might be the next big transformation after the bodywork
Well done guys! Just given you a sub for working in those conditions. You deserve it!!
Much appreciated!
I have no doubt the wee micra wont pass the MOT. Well done guys for doing the repairs outside in the cold, not everyone has the luxury of a garage to work in.
😂🤫 don’t tell everyone.
Hopefully one day we will have a garage but for now it will take more than cold weather to stop us 💪🏻😂
@@HomeBuilt no doubt yous are hardy men, keep the videos coming.
Love this blog , currently messing with a pre facelift 1996 micra
Us non garage driveway Kings love the Cold floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The K10s are cool, very hard to find now.
@@HomeBuilt aye are they, id have another, i drove a K12 for a few months years ago, wasn't to keen on it
Great stuff Guys, keep the videos coming
We will!
Can't beat a good thick layer of structural paint 🤣
🤣
I note you have your home built top on but the lad as an Elle’s a top on always enjoy the hands on videos
He has managed to outgrow his jumpers very quickly LOL, some new uniform coming soon.

Hi Paul, thanks for joining us, i get all my paint from Spraystores mate the quality of color matching is brilliant.
Another clinking video guys! Im more interested in what was happening in the last segment though 😂😂
😂 Finally someone mentioned it!
I was getting cold just by watching this video. I really hope that you manage to find business premises in the new year.
Me too Brian, we could get so much more done.
Thanks for watching.
Who needs one we love the rain and soaked boxers and socks 🤣🤣
I want to see picture of those welds lol
Great job 👍
😂 I’ll post a pic on Instagram during the week
@@HomeBuilt only joking mate one of the jobs I hate
Probably looks like chicken shit .
@@stubo74 you do much welding yourself ?
@@upthereddevils aye loads
Nice video guys 👍
Thanks Megan
I'm in Aberdeen .Its freezing up here...😎Enjoing the content as always
At least a few degrees colder up there.
Tried to buy a T-shirt but the site just says " hang tight, almost there " but doesn't go onto payment page..fingers crossed you get it sorted...here was me buying a T-shirt and it's freezing outside and a couple of feet of snow!!
Should work now mate, thanks again.

Nice one guys, for a temporary repair it doesn’t look half bad, in fact the whole car is a lot better than that Honda Jazz was!
Definitely 😂
Hopefully I can find some new cills before the next MOT
Chops saw you guys coming with that one 😉😉
It’s had some content this bca sub £150 ripper !!! Sweet.
It’s a great little car, have you seen it now?
@@HomeBuilt yeh. It’s mad !!!!
Great content
Thanks dude
Use to sell these on auto trader in 90s suffered from rust on crossmembers wee autos went like hotcakes
I think this being auto is keeping the value in it but if we keep it I might manual swap it, need to see what happens.
Watch out if let parr hole weld that be fire 🔥 ball
Might warm things up a bit.
Great Video guys 👍
Thanks Paul
Nice one boys that looks cold as I watch it from Perth in Australia where it's currently a very mild 25c
I wish we lived in Australia, thought about the move years ago but couldnt convince my wife.
Ha, the downside is it isn't great working outside here in the summer when it's 40+ C and you can fry an egg on the bonnet
You definitely need an air conditioned garage over there 😂 at least in the cold you can layer up
Yea rub it in while we are minus 4 🤣🤣🤣
this has been a long time waiting, but nice job so far lets hope shes a good un???
I’m sure it will be 🤫 and most of the stuff is here for it now so we can crack on with the paint.
once again great video
Thanks Dude

Well at least it got you back from down south .
Very true
You need to put you paint cans in a bucket of warm water, up there.
Definitely, it feels colder than normal just now though.

Great channel just subscribed:
Awesome, thanks Dave.
thankyou gentlemen a great video as usual...👌👌
still no luck with the boys doing your lean to/car port stevie ???
Thanks Stevo.
The guys were doing the roof, i hade tiles falling off and loose barge boards.
No car ports for me im afraid.
I have two like that and at this age they have aaround a 55% pass rate which is good at that age and compared to the competition. Should be ok on the mot
All wemt well
@@HomeBuilt Great stuff.
If you use ozyceteline you could keep warm as well !
😂 nice little fire going.
Worst thing is with the Honda and the K11 you can't weigh in rust for scrap lol
LOL
Did you do a CarVertical before purchase?
he didn't need too as chops garage already did
Nah, they don’t sponsor us yet😂
Yep
Haha that bloody car vertical is expensive there are others that are cheaper and good 🤔😁
Brilliant video as always, I’m a driveway way mechanic no motivation though in this weather so hats off to you both ,are you using gassless mig to weld the sills
If we didnt do RUclips i wouldnt be lying in the cold either 😂
Me to its so nice laying on our backs pulling gearboxes out with no ramps hats of to you too 👍👍👍
I am 100% sure this car will pass MOT with Zero Advisory notice. will see in the next video.
Fingers crossed
Please use axle stands, jacks alone are not good enough
I did mate, just not sure the camera caught it, they were on the rear beam.
That micra won't last long up there my old Scottish mazda was like a sugar cube. Poor old micra
We will look after it, its getying a full fresh coat of underseal in the next week or so.
@@HomeBuilt I would wax oil it as opposed to under seal that cracks and will let salt water in. My mazda only had 33k on it, was only 9 years old looked like it had been down a salt mine only saving grace it did teach me to weld, lesson learned don't but a Scottish or a North East of England car.

Best take it back to Chops.......you have up to 6 months money back protection.👍
😂 Ill give him a phone.
@@HomeBuilt Better still he will have to collect it 🥳👌👍
Trade cars don't get warranty so chops is safe if I remember rightly
