Introduction
After searching for weeks for a suitable Mk1 Sporting Punto and finding nothing but lemons and winning a HGT Punto on eBay... (not being able to insure it) I decided I had enough of finding crap and wanted something genuine.
Now in all honesty, while I was looking for Sportings I was kicking myself in the face after not being able to buy Misseys Sporting a couple of months ago.
I wanted something that was genuine, low ish miles. Well looked after but not too tidy.
Here comes my 3rd Punto. My second 60 and my second Green Punto.
(excuse the lack of photos and the poor quality)
The basics -
Dents everywhere.
54k Mileage, with full service history.
Cambelt change 5k ago.
1 Owner since new.
It ticked the boxes I needed.
After first inspections, It needed a new cam cover gasket and a new clutch servo as both were leaking.
The cam gasket was done today and I cleaned it up after hours of faffing around.
The state before:
The moderately clean finished product:
I don't know why I posted a thread, but in all honesty I can't see it getting updated much as I don't like taking photos of a Fiat. My neighbours give me funny looks...
Not sure on updates, perhaps some sideskirts if I can find any, maybe some suitable alloys and some front sporting springs/dampers as theses are a bit spongy.
But apart from using it and enjoying it, I can't see much reason to change a cheap car.
P.s. - Why are the pictures small?
