GRIZZ’s Nissan Micra SCRUFFY 🇯🇵 Blame Jack Daniels 🇺🇸 New MOT

Wheels look great and really suit the little nugget.

Thanks

As Paul Y says, brave colour choice.

I have a vision towards which I am working, so be brave, stand by me.

Refrigerator coming up. Soon, if it fails.

Weekend saw me clean the carport and rearranging stuff.

Great way to get started.

Except, I did not get started. Instead I did other jobs, like helping Sally in her garden, and a few other house jobs.

Sunday I decided not to go bootfair, unusual, but also evidence of my state of mind currently with the redundancy bollloxx hanging about.

So I used a foot pump (small compressor power switch seems to have died, along with the compressor) to pump the Rockit rear tyres, both were at 1 Bar, and got them to 3 Bar.

Sat around for a bit, then headed out to buy another pair of trainers, as the last expensive pair give zero support when walking the fields. Followed by some food shopping, stuff sure has spiralled from a price point of view.

Lets hope new trainers are better.


As I got home, nickwheeler arrived, bringing Hotrod magazines and staying a couple of hours to chat.

Of course we drifted down to the garage.

Various discussions around both cars.

Including the right wheel nuts to be bought for the alloys.

I found one in my stash……



So we decided to lift the car, remove the steel and try the painted and tyred up wheel.











I am still liking the direction this is headed.


And discussed an added bit of paint with Nick.


He is a lot more “conservative” than I am.


Have a good week all.

You forget, they don't seal very well....

Yep, looking great. Hopefully everything gets sorted on the job front and then an altitude adjustment?

It’s certainly easier to push around.



Yup, rears have always lost some air.

Fronts are sealed.



Thank you Ernie, I like it.



Altitude adjustment is subject to sensibly not overspending on it.



Thanks Pete.

Just found this thread, Jack Daniels is not always your friend, ask Nick about my beach buggy. This looks like fun tho'

I have indeed heard of the 1/2 + 1/2 Beach Buggy.

And to be honest, getting to know nickwheeler over time, it did not surprise me at all.

In fact, possibly the sort of thing I would do.

I can i agine the sellers face, and imagine what went on in his mind.

Wheel nuts for Scruffy came in the post.


I am not sure they really should be called “chromed”

The finish is shoddy, and if they survive one season without falling apart on the chrome aspect, I will be surprised.





Still, we have wheel nuts, so the alloys can be attached, once it passes MOT.
