SupraAyf Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Well guys, it has taken almost 4-months but that's because I have spent a good bit of time away, but finally, my wife's car is now finished. Literally, everything has been refurbished, and I have to say that I am quite proud of my work. The final messy jobs such as stripping the underneath of the car then wax-oil injecting and undersealing were all done yesterday and the FM expander will be done in 20 minutes or so and then: THATS IT - Hooray!!! Interior, engine, bodywork, roof and mechanism, drive components, suspension etc etc have all been done and TBH with you all but it has taken its toll on me. I have to admit that I have saved many many pounds by doing it myself so that's a bonus, but it has taken approx 250-hours of work to bring it back to this gleaming level. Best one in the country IMHO as I did it. Anyway got to go but if anyone wants a Figaro doing for their chick then I'm your man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Jesus matey, what a smart looking motor for such a dinky car. Great work bud. Can't beat a proper DIY job and that's most certainly a tough one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Looks good! Micra 1.0 engine with a turbo, aren't they? So what are the BPU mods for a Figaro? Does anyone tweak them for more power, or is it strictly cruise and pose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now you have done this one is the idea a goer then ? Colin - The 2nd one is close to completion (pink also) but the 3rd one is still 100-hours from being finished - not sure on the colour yet! Nice one.... At any stage during the work did you question your sexuality Rob - Only at the beginning; middle and end of the project mate:innocent: I have to admit, the mind did boggle at the title.
