Hello everyone

I’m thinking of buying a Fiat Punto 1.7TD van, for work.
About once a fortnight it will have to travel to Ireland with a very heavy load
The Punto max payload is I think 450Kg, I need it to take about 570Kg
So I was thinking about upgrading the brakes and the suspension.
I’m also worried about taking it up the ramp to the ferry
I would like it to look, as normal as possible, no larger wheels etc
One last thing, it has to be a Punto van.
What is the cheapest and simplest solution?
I think the front discs are 257mm
Thank you for your time and help, I hope!

Hello again

I plan to run it on vegetable oil, the Punto has a 1.7TD indiect injection that is good on vegetable oil. It also has power steering, not common on a small van of this age. I also like the shape

Thanks for the interest
