Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Andy - 12-02-2014

Okay, so some of you may/may not know that I purchased Midnightclub's Phase 2.5 Nile Blue GTi-6 a while back

Seeing as I finally got it home the other day I am now starting my project thread.

Here are some pictures because it's been a while since it's been seen... Only thing that's changed recently are the addition of wind deflectors.

I do have some plans for it and seeing as it'll be sat there not doing too much for a while it should be fairly easy to get hold of and add a few goodies.

Obligatory bits and pieces will be lows, wheel refurb and paint along with other little bits.
I am looking at something a bit ninja for more power.

I am currently busy with a new job but I will keep this updated as often as I can

Cheers guys.

Miss it lots already :/

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - WiNgNuTz - 12-02-2014

Havent you still got to acquire a new driving licence as well, or am I way off the mark there? Tongue

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Midnightclub - 12-02-2014

He's got 'A' licence... just not a full one Tongue

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - WiNgNuTz - 12-02-2014

I see. Best get the L-plates out then Andy! lol

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Midnightclub - 12-02-2014

How many people can say they learnt to drive in a GTI6? lol

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - THE_Liam - 12-02-2014

Not many, I started in a Transit lol

Hope he got an insurance quote...

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Midnightclub - 12-02-2014

Surprisingly not as expensive as you'd think for a first car.. Can't remember off the top of my head but it's sub £1000

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - WiNgNuTz - 12-02-2014

That's good then, I was paying over £1600 a year tpft on my 1.4!

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Andy - 12-02-2014

Yes I still have to aquire a full licence. Hence the garden ornament title.

That will be taken care of ASAP.
And the insurance isn't as much as you'd think.

Car looks good andy!

First car I ever drove was a 4x4 Sierra Cossie. Changed my pants promptly afterwards lmao

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Andy - 12-02-2014

Cheers dude.

It'll get to where I want it fairly quickly.

Plus, I would not like to be trusted with a cossie!

That's quite a start! First "fast" car I drove was an automatic VR6 Vento, thought it was a supercar lol

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Andy - 12-02-2014

Well what ever happens, I really will try my hardest to not write it off.
But starting with 167-ish bhp is going to be a brown trouser experience.

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Eeyore - 12-02-2014

So first car i drove was my dads derv mondeo. First fast car? Ferrari 355 and a Gallardo.

but about the 6. Looks good! Good luck having it as a first car too!

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Andy - 12-02-2014

Cheers, I'll need it.

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Andy - 27-01-2015

So, I've been away a while.
I'm about to become a dad so progress has been a little slow and money has been tight.
Yes, I've still no licence because, as said, money has been tight. Once the baby is born and I'm into the new place that's next on the list Smile

Anyway since I've been away this happened:

And so did this:

So it now looks like this:

It's also had a little bit of work done in other places just to stop it from rotting away. For now.

Glad to see you've not lost the will to live with it yet, though it's not exactly the most practical family car in the world! Wink

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - 7057sam - 27-01-2015

Hey look my old wheels Sad

How's the 6 Andy ??

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Andy - 27-01-2015

I know Steve but I haven't a licence so even if this was an Espace it'd be useless Wink

The '6 is alright Sam. Apart from the epic rake. Looking good on the wheels however.
Considering it's only travelled 4 miles in 15 months and it still turns over and moves without an issue.

Just for lols... It did those 4 miles on crap roads with 2 rather broken springs...

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - 7057sam - 27-01-2015

Did it break mid journey??

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - son of a beesting - 29-01-2015

Nice car, mine is same colour and year.

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - silverzx - 29-01-2015

Good to see those coil overs getting put to good use.

Once you've got your free house you'll have all the money in the world. Wink

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Andy - 07-02-2015

Christ it was awful Sam.
It sounded like a brick in a tumbledryer!

Cheers beesting. Was never really a fan of Nile Blue but in the sun it looks epic!

Wouldn't say good use Trent, it hasn't moved with them attached yet haha.
To be fair after going over money and things, yeah, it won't exactly be bad.

Hi Andy,
New member here and just saw your post, great ride and love reading your posts and others comments. Do share interior pics please!.

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - 306gtiparts - 12-07-2018

Looks good buddy. I have a couple of standard nile blue 1 owners from new ;-) yours is a phase 2 not a 2.5 though.

RE: Andy's garden ornament Nile Blue GTi-6 - Midnightclub - 12-07-2018

Last reply was over 3 years ago, and I now own this (again) - just FYI Tongue

It's a mix of parts too, for instance it has a PH1 interior.
