Punto (Mk1) Molly II - Punto GT3.

Introduction

Well sure many of you know this car or at least saw it for sale.

Purchased from Alex22 at the weekend to add to my collection. She is standard bar aftermarket discs & pads and a baileys dump valve. Even has an original GT exhaust, think its the first one i ever seen lol.

Whats my plans I hear you ask?
1. Fit correct widemouth front bumper (supplied by Alex with the car)
2. Have wheels refurbed, they look ok but quite a bit of kerbing on the rims
3. Fit some spacers, love the standard wheels but they far to far under the arches
4. Clean and tidy up the engine bay
5. Exterior respray in the original colour, paint is good and there is hardly any dents/dinks but the bonnet and roof in particular look a bit tired.
6. Brand new badges, front and rear

Here is some pictures, all off my phone so not great - I will add more pictures to the thread when i have better ones ;)

I love this car, looks like proper fun to drive! In really good nick too! (y)

If you do end up selling it sometime I would be tempted as a second car! Depending on funds I have at the time! :D

Well open to offers on the merc.. It has a 3.2l V6. Has LPG conversion so is actually quite cheap to drive around. Was once mine and it is a really nice car, i only swapped it back with my dad as i can't be having an automatic - if it wasn't for that i'd really love this car.
I would post all the details but not here, i'll get in trouble lol

PM me for details if anyone is serious.

Fraz, about same as me, it was £800 when it was insured in my name..

Also swapped a load more vac hoses, boost leak is still there but not as bad so at least one of them was leaking i reckon, just 1 more vac line left to change but could get it without dismantling the car a bit more - will do that during next week if i get chance.

And fitted a black samco top boost pipe, not sure if i like it.. opinions?

I quite like the boost hose, but you need something under there to brighten it up a bit, looks a bit too dark under there :p
bet the new bumper is a lot better for cooling now, looks quite like a 5 door mk2 bumper but i like it :cool:
