Punto (Mk1) Punto gt turbo restoration

i quite like the morettes tbh, even on a stock car they look good. But do the car, stick them on - if you don't like it i'm sure someone will snap them up, pretty hard to get these days i believe.

The location holes for the badges are still there just not so clear in the pictures ive treated it to new genuine badges all round

Started the drivers side and no surprise it was just as bad as the other if not worse .

All rot is cut back and treated and plated ready for the new quater to be fitted here's some new pictures .

Wow oldskoolhero, you're an absolute Super-soldier undertaking all of this
Big respect to you and like the rest of the guys I'm really looking forward when you complete it!

couldn't agree more, great to see proper restoration going on and happening pretty damn quickly as well!

Thanks dark_crusader I think all the hard work is done after ive welded the quater on .
Ill be in the filler stage mid week the doors have many ripples in them and I want to get them straight so ill skim them end to end to get rid of any imperfections

Thanks blu73 its going well im just concentrating on a section at a time and make sure its as good as possible I know it will be strong then aswell as looking good for a few years to come .
I was at my friends business till 9.30 nackerd but well worth it to see how its coming along . Thanks for all the good words guys :thumbup::thumbup:

fantastic work fella.
i would keep the morettes on they suit the punto well

considering doing the same with my rear quarters as no doubt there the same as yours but looks a lot of work

It was the shape of the lower part that was hard to do had to keep offering up the quater and shape the metal im sure there will be a replacement inner quater that can be put in ill do that next time around lol
Im thinking of changing the colour fton silver to orla orange looks a really nice colour two on ebay at the mo I went and looked at the one thats at £1550 its mint whoever wins that will be happy .

is that the sunburnt orangey colour...? was a stock GT in that colour on ebay i saw recently..

Yes thats the one there's 2 on there at the mo I went to look at the one in Nottingham but didn't have the money for it at the time he must of not sold it but its a really clean car . Im defo going for that colour tho I like it alot need the paint code if anyone can help thanks

Id say it's tbe 592 if any but mite just pop to fiat and find out for certain . Thanks noddy :thumbup:

Its a cool colour, i was just saying to someone the other day that i really wasn't keen back when mk1's were new cars, but it has aged really well. I'd say the same about the minty green metallic colour (430 i think on that chart), looks better now than it did back in the day.

Have had 430, 249, 467, 258, 312, 601, 647 & 426. Working my way through them lol. My first one was the metalic turquise and it looks ok prefere the Stelvio Green. Its amazing how I havnt seen some of the colours though like metalic ducule grey.

You have had a fair few then lol well my minds made up im going for the orange the full name is arancio oria 517-A and 592-A all the metal work is almost done then time to get nice and dusty with the filler and prep

The colour

I take it that its not an original Mk1 punto colour then?

Yep thats the one off the mk1 gt its 517 on that one but is the same as the 592 so colour is all sorted

Got the body in 2k primer today its looking good not a spot of rust anywhere panels next think this car will look better than my Clio 197 when finished
