I saw those cars at SICD- I THOUGHT the blue one looked familiar!!! (from eBay)

good buy!

A lovely example...

Thanks It's not as clean as Simon's example but thats probably a good thing as I just don't have the time to spend cleaning it. Think I'd be terrified to drive it too!

Ha-

I'm really pleased it IS that one; I was looking at it for ages on eBay- I thought I was going mad when something astonishingly similar turned up at SICD!

Glad it's come to Scotland- well done.

With I'd seen you to speak to, now

Have you thoroughly rustproofed the underside?

Part of it was done at MOT due to welding. Plan is to do that before she goes to hibernate over winter

I blame Simon for me ending up with this...but I dont regret it. I had a few folk come up and speak about the car at SICD. Seems the punto was a fairly popular first car for many of us!

I take full responsibility for spending your money every time I see you

Saturday was bath day. She did 120 miles round trip to Dundee for work on Sunday and behaved fine...though she was a wee bitty iffy to start on Saturday.

Ive some time off in July and hope to get some of the door dents sorted. Hopefully! ?

Havent had any time off lately so shes in need of a wash. But, being used sparingly, shes done 1,000 miles in my ownership.

Still hoping to get some of the dents pulled out and she'll hit 40k miles before winter hibernation so thinking a service will be in order too!

Been busy again the last few weeks, finally caught up with a little bit of work on the fleet...

The n/s handbrake cable is going to need replaced again - the hanger has failed, so the cables been rubbing on the back of the wheel. No biggie, I've ordered a couple of replacements (may as well while they're available!)

But that means some welding on the N/S - there's a bit of rust near where the failed hanger is - which I knew was needing doing - has now shot further up the list of priorities.

Battery has been acting up lately, so got a new one fitted today and shes happier again. 1,500 miles on the clock since I got her earlier this year...one more good run then she'll be going away for her winter sleep.

Been a while since I updated this - Punto hasn't really done much this year with Covid etc and sadly a change in circumstances mean she's going to have to be sold on.
