Introduction
As some may know, I bought this car from @blu73 back in February, see his thread here - http://fiatforum.com/members-motors/281984-molly-ii-punto-gt3.html
On the way home though, it became apparent (on the M1 I might add) that there was a problem, as she was coughing and losing power. Having taken the best part of 2 hours to nurse her the 30 odd miles home, it was apparent that the alternator was goosed. I started trying to change it but the engine bay on these is so densley packed that I kept getting so far and giving up, and so she's sat for the last 5 months or so - waiting patiently.
Until yesterday, my gf's mum's partner came over and gave me a hand and she's now ready to go for MOT, booked in for 9am tomorrow!
Here's some pictures just taken after a quick trip out to test brakes etc and after a well needed wash:
Plans, as blu73 really, keep her standard and keep her running basically.
