Hello from Staffordshire. Your made of tough stuff up there! Fixing cars in the rain and freezing cold 🥶. Really enjoy the videos.... but most of all I like the lovely relationship you have with your kids. 👍 Seasons greetings & best wishes for the future 🥳

[@HomeBuilt]

Thanks Mark. Enjoy the content, another year or so and we should be pretty good at it 🤣 Merry Christmas.

[@briangriffiths114]

The K12 Micra was a great wee car that got our local doctor to work in the weeks following the infamous thundersnow that hit Scotland in November 2010. Even some 4x4s couldn't cope with the depth of the snow.

[@HomeBuilt]

Awesome, to be honest I haven’t heard anything bad about a Nissan yet, we’ve had a few now and I like them.

[@JohnnyGetsCash]

The K12 looks really smart lads! I love little jobs like headlight polishing, they provide so much bang for your buck when improving the look of a car!

[@HomeBuilt]

A decent headlamp polish can completely transform the look of a car for pennies, well worth the time.

[@thegasguy]

Loved it guys , see you Xmas day

[@HomeBuilt]

Thanks mate, see you on Sunday.

[@bobbush9012]

Well done chaps 👏, can’t wait for the micra to be finished. The both of you are so honest, keep it up. I also follow chops garage 👍

[@HomeBuilt]

Thanks mate, were already hard at work on the Micra today so hopefully it will be finished on time. Fingers crossed.

[@paultaylor9652]

That looks in great condition for a Scottish car especially at the miles it's on, great turnaround again guys.

[@HomeBuilt]

Thanjs Paul, its not too bad. Its got a little bubble on the passenger rear wheel arch but nothing major.

[@ChopsGarage]

Nice K12. Wondered if a bit of gentle heat/steam iron steam would take the bagginess out of the door panels - no guarantee it would work!

[@HomeBuilt]

I’ll give it a try mate, can’t make it any worse.

[@HomeBuilt]

Thanks mate, it probably will get a battery when it sells

[@TonyM444]

Great guys, looking foward to the christmas day video

[@HomeBuilt]

It should be a great video but the New Years Day video will be even better 🤞

[@michaelbrown3623]

Great video again. Sure the micra owners sites can get you those radio codes. Pretty sure they could find out some service history info too.

[@HomeBuilt]

I’ll drop some messages and see what I can find. Thanks mate

[@SAVING_ICONIC_MACHINES]

Amazing prep on that micra, probably best to replace that battery 🪫 before you sell it. Keep up the good work

[@HomeBuilt]

I’ll test it when it’s fully charged but it probably will end up with a new one.

[@stephena2720]

Might be wrong but think the K12 front passenger seat might lift to have a compartment underneath. Might be some paperwork in there.

[@HomeBuilt]

I knew the Note done that but didn’t know about these, I’ll have a look this morning. Thanks mate.

[@stephena2720]

@@HomeBuilt The Mrs had one years ago and I have a vague memory of her passenger seat having some sort of storage, in or under it. Might be getting it mixed up with another car though. Worth a check at least.

Yes mate, no sandpaper used on these though so it would just flake off with time. Thanks for watching.

[@NickHudson2]

Great video boys I reckon you’ll do alright out of that little k12 it looks a tidy wee thing for its age. I agree with Charlie though it did sound pretty good without the back box haha

[@HomeBuilt]

It’s not bad for its age, I don’t mind a noisy exhaust on something with a bit of power 😂

[@darrenwilson8042]

My ex-father-in-law had a K10 for years - it eventually rotted away around him after about 15 years but ALWAYS started on the button. These - like the Note - are like you and James say are a great older 2nd hand reliable runabout as long as you look after them. Did you see James is finally fixing that leaky K12 roof? Stuck a battery booster on it and started first turn - they would probably survive a nuclear explosion lol

[@HomeBuilt]

I loved the K10! Haven’t had a chance to watch James latest video but I will catch up on them during the week. Nissans seem to be very reliable, never been a massive fan but now I’ve flipped a few I like them more and more.

[@darrenwilson8042]

@@HomeBuilt Its like they just work so whilst people go for Corsa's and Fiesta's the smart money goes into the Nissans

[@darrenwilson8042]

@@HomeBuilt The only one I ever heard had an issue was a guy I worked with in the 80's bought one new. On the motorway the oil pump failed and the engine was toast. Got recovered and Nissan loaned him another and 2 weeks later returned his with a new engine and an apology. Around the same time BL or whatever they were called at the time we telling my brother in law that the failed crankshaft on his 10k mile one litre Metro was fair wear and tear.... you can see why one manufacturer survived eh?

What does your immediate neighbour think of this? Don't get me wrong I've sold and repaired cars from home but I fenced area and done as much work as possible out of public view. Strictly speaking if your running it as a business all you can do is sell the cars from home address, even a valet is a contravention

[@mrt9031]

@@michaelbrown3623 no need for sarcasm. As I say I've repaired and traded used motor vehicles from a home address but was super wary of minimising distribution. The local council could close this guy in a second and that can be avoided by respecting boundary lines and doing as much as possible out of view. You need a second hand dealers registration to be legal in Scotland and their is no way a local authority would provide the licence when your welding etc at the top of a driveway in a residential area. Think of others not only yourself Apply for this licence
