Punto (Mk2/2b) Meet Bumble-Bee

Introduction

Meet Bumble bee
replacing my beloved but now scrapped Mk2 Blue punto

Needs some bits doing to it - but i never leave cars alone anyway :)

So here he is
2004 on a 53 plate
58K
Yellow Active Sport (8v engine)
Alloys - nice grey interior and generally nice tidy motor that needs a little more tlc to make him better :)

So what has been done so far? Well its got a fairly new backbox - but middle pipe went, replaced under its warrenty

Given him a darn good clean and wash, but lasts all of 5 mins been yellow :(

Pulled all the roof gutter seals out and cleaned the rubbish out from there
Also had the windows screen trim rubber and cleaned all around there :)

what i wanna do is get everything cleaned up, tidy alot up
add a few features i want back in :)

But here we go :)

So i did the roof gutters - they were really really ready.... which means all the cack runs down the rear lights.....

So out they come

1hr later they are all cleaned - dried and waxed to prevent it getting bad anytime soon

Well
Just passed 80k (80.5k)
Time for another quick service

Changed oil, oil filter and air filter

But that odd noise I kept hearing like a misfire but no misfire turns out to be another crack in the manifold....

I really must find a new bracket to resupport that exhaust manifold

My car is spamming with faults right now.... its doing my head in

So whats up now...

Except the tyres and tracking needing doing

The sump is swimming with oil - so that now need attention (halfs runnind down from coil pack IIRC)

The bottom ball joint gaitors have split - i think MOT man missed it....
The driver side track rod end isn't playing fair, its seized in well and truely....
And to make it worse - its got a split in its ball joint too



So whats going to happen then

New tyres (£105)
Tracking and tyre fitting (£45)
New Coil pack seal + Rocker cover (£12 from Eurocarcare.net)
2x Track rod ends - £15 ECP
Exhaust Re-weld - £20
Bottom Ball joint covers - £5er?

So the buggers looking to cost me around £200 ish....

Thank you bumble-bee

Just been looking through this thread. What an awesome little car!! Really appreciate the time/money & effort you've put into it. Even the small little details like the bonnet arm painted black.
 
its jusy had roof bars

Ah! Been looking for some roof bars for mine for a while now!! Can't seem to find any second hand, the Mont Blonc ones seem to be the best, but just cant find any. Whereabouts did you pick yours up from?

I picked mine up from a punto selling group
Original fiat bars too


As for rubber mounts
Yup mines snapped and this is my new fix idea
