This morning I got going early and got the Micra up in the air.
Laid out the first job.
Prepping some of the parts and surfaces needed to reinstate the exhaust system.
Cleaned up, drilled out the studs to enable the use of nuts and bolts.
While crawling around I took a decent look at what the four corners looked like.
Not inspired.
Still……..
I felt up to the challenge.
When @nickwheeler arrived with his welder we got straight to getting the bolts welded onto the catalytic converter
Once I reintroduced the downpipe and had the Lambda sensor refitted that Nick had removed from its plug, the rest of the refitting, including some clear silicone on the gaskets and contact surfaces (clear silicone does not degenerate with excess heat) it looked good.
Nick tried the start up and I could feel there was no leak or blowby.
Perfect, just bloody awesome.
Looking great.
That was a good way to start the day.
Coffee next.
