what happened there Noddy

Have new cabby . old one is still here as well.

Twins, the replacement, and the damage.

Oops sorry here's mine !

Superb, do you still have both of them ?

Here's mine, only owned it a week. Have a bit of a shopping list and a few parts ordered. Just need some free time to fit everything. 1St off would love to swap my alloys for some original alloys. Funnily enough after searching on Google images the is an old photo of mine with the wheels that I want. Hopefully get some help on here on best place to source parts ?

Ebay and Facebook for alloys. I take it your after the mk1 punto sporting alloys ?

Had a look at these, they are the ones I'm after. Messaged the guy auctioning with space saver an two tyres of the wrong size??? and he doesn't wanna sell them outright, he wants to let it run.

Whereabouts are you ? I have a set, if youre interested.

Why does this not surprise me lol.

hahahahaha !

Its an illness......... i just cant keep away from Fiats. I have more than the wife knows about. ;-)

lol, I'm just about out of fiat parts now - taken me a long long time to get rid of it all but i'm down to a pair of trailing arms, a cat section and an 8v spi inlet manifold now.

But of course bits of 20v have started amassing since i bought the bravo hgt lol

Turbo ? ;-)

I must admit i saw a yellow coupe the other day, made me think of my old one, so off to Ebay i went........... oh the temptations.

But the Hgt must be a rare beast by now.

turbo has been considered obviously - but i think really i'd prefer a coupe 20vt, which may happen at some point.....

Just found this site! We have had our 16v cabrio from new & Mrs H cannot find anything that she would rather have! She wanted yellow & blue hood, but I said we'd never re-sell it in those colours! (What did I know!) so ours is silver & black hood. Goes really well, only 50k+ miles.
Just realised the engine drive belt hasn't been changed for 10 years! Seems to be a bit of teeth sucking about changing it...How difficult is it?
Will follow this thread with interest. We are an endangered species...We also have an MG ZA (1956) & I think there are more of them "on the road" than PC's!

was car driven those 10 years or parked?

debunked timing belt change interval?

We bought our 1994 model in 2000 and changed the cambelt immediately. It was only this year that we realised that we hadn't changed it since. It has now been changed!
