Not every day the company you work for has their own rally car but mine does!

This micra has been under cover since about 2000 when my boss used to race in the Micra Challenge cup... he stopped because he nearly died in a really really nasty accident.

They started work on a new shell, completely stitch welding and strengthening and then for some reason they stopped when most the hard work was done. Spec of the car is unknown but it has aftermarket management and straight cut box and used to do pretty damn well back in the day!

Anyway... thankfully i stepped in to save the abandoned micra and asked if i would be able to rebulid it and maybe race it... the answer from the boss was yes!

So cue a lovely sunday morning and this!

Completely blocked in with a million smashed up panels behind the bodyshop at work!

Yes thats the car under the grey cover!

After about 3 hours of moving everything!

Towed it into the workshop and cleared all the crap out of it

Took it round the valet back and cleaned it all and poslished it so had summit nice to work with!

Engine starting to go in!

Look at the mess.... decided to call it a day as bloody knackered!

Anyway more pics next time i get 5 mins to do more!
