I have joined the forum as I have recently bought my daughter an 03 Punto. I've driven the car and I think it's great. I joined as I'm sure I will need help in the future and the forum appears to a rich resource.

My own car is a 1310 16V injected, supercharged 1976 Mini

Hi Chris, and Daughter,
welcome , and a happy new year,

the punto mk2 was a good car,

just let go a 2001 sporting myself - floorpan corrosion.
pretty much their achilles heel.

Yes, the floor pan is something to address when the weather improves. Hopefully it's a wire brush in the angle grinder, Kurust, paint and waxoyl'
