Hi. I’m Ricardo Graça from Portugal. I just bought a one owner 97 2.0 diesel Almera van. It was stopped for 4/5 years and I’m now lightly restoring it. Engine in good condition, great interior, working AC, just a bit of rust underneath.
300 000km.
I’ve done so far:
Timing belt
Water pump
Valve cover gasket
Rims and tyres
New head and tailghts
Rear shocks
Clutch
Brakes all around
Bearings
Wishbones
A bit of paint here and there.
This engine is a little slow compared to modern cars, but I love its simplicity and sturdiness.
