This cute little car something special. Glad you saved from salvage and made it to live. Great project thank you.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much for your nice comment! 😊

[@wickbom86]

Fan va jag gillar din kanal. Spelar ingen roll om avsnitten tar tid, din kanal är äkta. Fortsätt med det du gör, du gör det sjukt bra!

[@ejoautovideos]

Betyder verkligen mycket, tack! 🙏

[@PatonHaus]

Those rust repairs look excellent, you should be very pleased with the job you did on those repairs 👍

[@ghkzbor]

Good job! The result is great, especially coming from a one guy garage and not from a shop. You can do much more with your hands than most of us, keep it up, waiting for more videos and other projects maybe?

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me! 🙏 A bit of inside information: I've actually bought a new car, so a video of that one should come in the near future 😊👍

[@gavinoliver8074]

I've been looking so forward to this build

[@leonardodeldotto3887]

love watching your videos, keep up the good work, waiting for the next one!!

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you! :)

[@aaronaaron_weis1615]

Mad respect. Good work 👍

[@y3yee]

din serie har fått mig att vilja köpa en micra 😮‍💨

[@MrPuggen]

Snyggt jobbat. Tycker ditt svetsjobb är väldigt snyggt och prydligt. Ser ut som en väldigt körglad Micra 😍👍

[@HypnotizinDetailz]

You are doing so well my Friend, excellent job EJO! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much my friend! 🙏 Hope to see some content from you in the near future 👍😉

[@HypnotizinDetailz]

@@ejoautovideos - Thanks very much for your kind words, but I gave up on my channel already - unfortunately my content didn’t really attract viewers, so it was going basically nowhere, therefore I just left it there as is… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@villejussila1599]

I would definitely be happy paying someone to make such a nice rust repair!

[@ejoautovideos]

Ohh you are being to nice! 😊🙏

[@lovroslisko1998]

Post more often! Great video

[@antonh2533]

Fan va sjukt att du håller på så nära där jag bor! Bor i Viksta! 😱

[@Gwlyddyn]

Underbart val av "race car". Ta den gubbigaste bilen i riket och gör racebil av.

[@hansjorgkarcher9504]

Nice work!! That’s a very cool project ❤

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you, apreciate that! 😊

[@ericsemskar1635]

been waiting on this vid right here

[@dirkstellmacher423]

Nice car, Well done. Thank you for this Video.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@lowrezz]

needs an allignment. Fantastic work on this car. Cant wait to see it on track

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you! Yes an alignment would definitely be nice 👍

[@jan-akestenberg7176]

Blev ju kanonbra med rostlagningen 👍 fräck liten bil 😎 bra jobbat.

[@ejoautovideos]

Tackar! 😁

[@jamiewood4280]

Beautiful, driving that will be like Mario kart! I just wish a Swedish KZbinr would do a video on Saab.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you, yes it definitely felt like a go kart. Such a nice feeling! 😁

[@964tractorboy]

Super workmanship. Can't wait for the track-day footage.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you very much! 😊

[@RoadRunnerMeep]

Fantastic work, love the little go karts. That rust looked bad, welding and repairs is another thing I want to learn myself. Something I'm not comfortable tackling yet on my car. I'm not personally a fan of Body iller when it comes to car repairs. I'd rather fix a hole by grinding / welding metal on it

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much. 😊 Yes these cars really feels like go karts when you fix the suspension. 👍

[@Izayoi_RS]

really nice work dude keep it up :)

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you buddy! 😊

[@ritapollon]

Great job! Nice car 👍

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you 😊

[@LucaMuzi]

Nice Work!!

[@rolosgamingch18]

Would love for you to restore our Nissan March! Gosh, this is such a nice and somewhat practical build you can take to the track to have fun.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much! I can tell you it's super fun just from the few little test runs I've done already 😁👍

[@mrsundberg]

Snyggt jobbat

[@CharliesMaidenCovers]

good stuff

[@geekroute]

change out the steering wheel, you'll be surprise at the difference it makes. a lighten crank pulley is also highly recommended. you also need strut bars for the car

[@TasteTheFail]

Dope video my guy 🤙🏻 have to de-rust some of my micra as well this summer

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you very much! 🙏

[@TasteTheFail]

@@ejoautovideos no problemo

[@CuriousGamer022]

Definitely need to put on a turbo in the future

[@GMC997]

FINALLY!

[@okanyacal1659]

👌🏻

[@maxwilliamson9565]

Great video, any good ideas of what first mods I should do to my micra s ?

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you! Yes, coilovers and wheels are the best mods IMO :)

[@themagnushjort]

Fan vad fina småvägar ni har i mellansverige

[@LukaFontain]

Oh nice one, thanks for fixing my Micra, I'll come and pick it up tomorrow. What's the total cost of labour by the way? XD

[@ejoautovideos]

😂😂

[@OkanBozkurt]

thanks for the video, your micra has become perfect condition :) do you plan any brakes upgrade?

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you :) I will see how it performes on the first track day. If I notice any problems or lack of braking performance, then I will upgrade 👍

[@gustaveklund7051]

Nice video ! Maybe get a race steriing wherl

[@plservicebatpoleringuppsala]

Härligt att se bilen på vägarna, men ta det försiktigt, Vattholmavägarna är inte dom bäst underhålla 😊

[@rv9990]

Where are you planning to race this car? Don't know of any racetracks in Sweden? Love the content btw. Thanks! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🤝🇸🇪

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you, The ones close to where I live are: Tierp motorarena, Salabanan and Arlanda testtrack. There are deifinetly better tracks than that, but they are far from where I live.

[@SeatLeonMK2]

don't you need other pistons for every turbo setup for the compression ratio?

[@andrebarros7703]

hi. is it possible to share link of the oil breather filter? thanks

[@0Tekstyla0]

😍 delete the door deco outside for more weight reduction

[@paulleggett9735]

Notice you didn't go with an Elring RMS again. I can't believe they didn't send you a replacement free of charge

[@xxlalbatross3287]

When you sell this project to start the next one. Then I want to buy this micra from you.😊

[@Obada131obka0301]

Great work man. Are you going to turbo it?

[@ejoautovideos]

I'm temped to, but it would go against the original plan of having a reliable cheap car that's all about the handling. So with that being said I'm leaning more towards doing some light NA tuning instead. 👍

[@RandomTubePT]

Bro the oil filter was from Stark?

[@rae-remastered1300]

Where que I get those parts?

[@zkan87]

bro i want this car

[@sunsetfishing23]

har du en 1.0 växellåda? om inte så rekommenderar ja dem. accelerationen blir mycket bättre. lägre topphastighet dock

[@ejoautovideos]

Yes, kika på förrförra avsnittet så slänger jag på en sån låda 😉👍

[@MrDanDizz]

11:30 - rekommenderar att blurra ut hastigheten xD

[@bultertix9860]

Finns ingen anledning att blurra.

[@Cas_anova]

If you get a Swedish plate that starts with 'TFU'.. That'd be funny.

[@IrenESorius]

👍‍‍🥰👍‍‍

[@JhonnyAmbie]

What about exhaust, any changes? Manifold?

[@ejoautovideos]

Yes that will come 👍

[@skun80]

And 0 to 100kph was?

[@jisa5995]

Kör du utan kat så finns zink olja 👍

[@owen8538]

Did you add hp

[@ejoautovideos]

Only a 3" custom intake. So maybe 3 more hp? 😂

[@sdj7122]

what year is this micra ?

[@ejoautovideos]

Year 2001

[@fastlanenigeria]

What engine is that? 1.0?

[@ejoautovideos]

1.4 engine with the 1.0 gearbox 👍

[@MrRedialplease]

1.0 or 1.3?

[@ejoautovideos]

1.4 👍

[@ravoony1916]

Can we cooperate?

[@tristan8243]

these blue mail seals are junk most of the time, they go bad real quick. Only oem gaskets are worth the time to replace them imo

[@mercer982]

Victor Reinz is a really good brand for gaskets. If im not wrong, some cars actually have them as oem from factory. Never had any problems with them personally. How can you tell anything about the quality just by the color of the rubber ?

[@tristan8243]

@@mercer982 i come from the land of mx5s/japanese cars in general. you can only use oem seals on those cars. everything else leaks. The blue one is MVQ and the brown FPM material, blue is inferior in my experience. Did you install reinz on german cars by chance? Might work better on those

[@mercer982]

Allright that i didn't know, sorry. And yes mostly on vw. But to be fair, those blue ones are really rare to see here in my home country. Only seen just a few axle seals of that colour.

[@montec6113]

Thats a very bizzare way to repair rust, but hey, if it works...

[@pontushaggstrom6261]

"It's so Good!" Mannen det e fortfarande en jävla micra 🤣 Nonetheless fet bil

[@xanibor721]

ChrisFix wannabe? 😬

[@J0uwMoeder]

ChrisFix IS a wannabe. EJO is clearly more competent.

[@babakonusur2108]

Mooi gedaan 👍heb er ook 1 ik heb een vraagje voor je waar kan ik een goedkope voorruit halen
