Ditched the micra, or sold it rather, to an enthusiastic gentleman approximately 20 years of age. Full disclosure about the rust obvs but he seemed unbothered. After a week of trawling found a new pile of junk, albeit slightly less crappy than the micra. A 2011 fiat panda. It’s dented and scratched but very little rust. Well looked after mechanically. Looking forward to gradually fixing it up slightly and hopefully will be able to keep it for a few years. Main projects are rust under paint chips at the front arches, crackles in the headlight clear coat and rusty/oxidised wiper arms.
Miss my Panda of similar vintage. How's the rear beam? I resprayed my wiper arms once a year, but I believe you may be able to swap with new Fiat 500 ones which are fairly cheap.
