well she was driving her mams car for ages but needed her own so bought this 96 k11 1.3 gx for £100. was sorn and had a gooshed engine but seemed like a bargain. dropped a spare 1.3 i had lying round in, put it in for mot and only failed on cv boot!! result!

from there it went to my local painter for the bodywork...then came the porsche seats...then some vw speedline 14s andthats pretty much how its staying.

cost about £1500 max so far including everything which aint bad.

let the slating commence!!

day she got it...

trail fit new bumper...

lazy boy...

smooth grille...

trail fit front end...

flush tailgate...

jap number plate holder frenched into bumper...

recess shortened to make central...

prep...

primer...

paint...

new wheels...

i must admit i think you have done really well with that, colour is different too

from me

i thought there was nothing you could do to make a micra look good, you proved me wrong

that does look nice might b just me but the front reminds me of an astra

both up from me

that does look nice might b just me but the front reminds me of an astra

both up from me

reminds me of a fiat 500

that looks mad! i actually like it

Wheels go so well with the car, looks ace! There's a couple of things I'm not keen on, but they all work together anyway!

It's a nice finish and some quality workmanship, but it is supposed to look like a diahatsu coure with a fiat 126 front end?

haha youre right! thats the first thing we said when it went together.....fiat 500 haha!

but yeah its a canny little runaround for her.

thanks alot for the comments.

just wish coilovers werent like £700 for it! else it would be a canny bit lower!

I can sort of see where you're coming from

I do like it though, its different.
