Introduction

How I got it:
Blown head gasket
Rusted through coolant passages in head
Handbrake not working
Rusted heater matrix
Warped discs
Cam cover leaking (a common problem in punto's? lol)
Shocks busted, except 1, lol
all locks broken (attempted break in, just broke the locks..)
passenger door damaged (chav attempted break in w/ crowbar) I'm hidin the green door as much as i can in the pics lol.
Don't remember what else was up.. not bad for £50

just gave the head a decent refurb and clean up, same with the rest of the mechanical parts of the engine


To this day:
Cross drilled and slotted discs, standard pads lol.
-60mm springs all round, apparently...
Spax shocks all round
40mm tricker TB
Remapped Sei chip
Stiffened engine mounts
20mm spacers all round
SX dash
Oil catch can
Induction kit
1.7 TD front bumper + ebay splitter
Ebay side skirts
JBL home made box (2x 10") with JBL gto 72.1 (i think?) amp
JVC head unit
Sporting center console
50% tint rear 60% light green tint on front..
GT3 cat-back Exhaust w/ 1.2 Punto manifold and downpipe
"NEVERBEEN!" sticker on suntrip along with "MOMANATORZ" (xbox gamertag)
and fiatforum stickers :slayer:
YAY FIATFORUM!

I think that's about it...

Where and how much did you get the rear mud flaps for?
 
Re: My Mk1 55s Punto project, finally finished

tbh the only things that look a little chav is the front bumper and the exhaust, but only coz it isnt sitting right. Maybe the mud flaps. But you have done a good job mate!

the exhaust looks bad cos when you look low to the ground. but when you're standing up it looks decent. i think mudflaps make the wheels look wider :)
but thanks dude

not keen on the sunstrip, but thats my opinion.
each to their own.
many people dont like the fact that my car has a grey bonnet. i dont like it either, but the amount of people that complain about it is rather annoying though...

i actually like this car though because its different, not like everybody else's who have all the same(ish) ideas...

and on the topic of exhausts, all thats important is the noise. the size / shape is down to taste, if you dont like it buy a new tip from halfords :D
i have a janspeed on my sei, just a standard looking 3" SS pipe, but it sounds the nuts ;)

and good choice with the tramp drifter, i was looking at getting one too, sitting wide and low on 13" minilies ;) its the way forward :D

I got the suntriip for looks originally with my gamertag on it, but a side affect it adds a nice shade inside the car! and no need to flip down that terrible sun blocking thing that is on the ceiling if you know what i'm on about lol.
I think your bonnet looks good, a good colour choice. i don't really like sei's because of the rear really. but I do like the front !
Yeah i don't really like being another flock of sheep and try to do things different... a bit. but it is my first car and it is a banger I know.
i'm glad you like it though! of a very few! lol.
cheers
