First Car

[m.c]

Ok so i bought my first car yesterday. Ive been after a micra super S for a while. it needs quite a bit of work doing to it.

New clutch
Cross-member needs welding
Sills need welding
New passenger side wing to go on and be sprayed
New Super S bumper needs to be hunted down, fitted and sprayed
Nissan 5-Spoke alloys need finding
New seats needed (Worst seat pattern EVER)

Well trip to the scrappy was a waste of time. Another adition to the to-do list, a blow motor for the heater. it only works on setting 4. quite common though

and v15ben, sounds good

Your 1st car, congrats
However good/bad it turns out, in the future, you'll always look back on this car with great affection
Cheap & cheerful will do it every time, you won't have to worry about the scrapes/dings too much.
If I may throw my 2 cents in here:
Just keep it running & safe to drive & you'll probably get a couple of years good motoring out of it. Try not to throw too much of your hard-earned at it- save that for a deposit on your next car.
