Before i start telling you about her, a MASSIVE, HUGE thank you has to go to Hally as without his help, i wouldn't have managed to buy her and to Ross for driving me down to get her.

Well here she is. My 13th Almera, the 12th N15 and 9th GTi in only 9 years of driving.

Gone back to my first love of an unkitted BP0 GTI, always missed my first one, so let see if i can create an even better one this time round.

Now it's a bit rough around the edges, but for the price i paid along with it being an 11 year old car it's not bad. It does only have 77k on the clock as well, which is baby mileage on the SR.

I'll apologise for the poor camera work in advance.

Got a list of things that need fixed on her, but all minor little things which shouldn't take too long.

  • Fix rev counter
  • Fix rear arch rust
  • Fix bootlid rust
  • Fix inner rear arch rust
  • Respray rear bumper
  • Tax her

Got a list of mods that will be happening soon so stay tuned but unsure what styling route i'm taking at the moment.

Nice Rick :thumb:, with that work it'll be lovely. That interior looks mint!

Glad to see you back into Almeras again, working on and modding and such. Maybe you'll get the mod bug again with this and go mad on the DCi too ;)

I'll be modding this one no doubt. Hopefully got some stuff lined up for it but not saying until it's bought & paid for and installed. Can't see the DCi ever getting modded tbh.
 
About time you got another! Finally Me, you, Matt and Ross all have GTi's for the first time in years of knowing each other after you and Matt selling up and coming back!
 
rust didn't look that bad! I take it that's with a bit of poking around :)

Yeah, that was with a bit of poking about. Decided i'd rather know about it now rather than get a surprise come MOT time.

nice Rick, great colour, you gonna front splitter it up?

Steve

Front rubber splitter up front but the car will remain unkitted. :winkiss:
 
NICE! Already been said many times, but BP0 is a gorgeous colour!

Was this on ebay? With colour coded rocker cover and strut brace?
 
Awesome! I didn't think after you saying at Shakeys that my car made you miss yours enough to actually buy another lol.

Good work buddy, can't wait to see what you have planned for it.
 
Nice one Rick, Yeah i know now we all have SR20's!! As Chris said it's only taken 5 years lol.

Scottish meet soon??
