Punto (Mk1) My Mk1 55s Punto project, finally finished.

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...

cnt say im a great fan of mk1s but u have put some right work in 2 that m8 (y)
thanks man. what you like about it?
i had a real think about mk1's. you can't make em look anywhere near as good as mk2's... so the old banger/hippie/ratlook style looks great on it.. to me :cool:
it is still a very nicely designed car for it's time...
 
not sure if i posted this when it happened but i smashed my downpipe the other day dumping old oil at a recylcling plant... the high rubber speedbumps just wouldn't let my car go past... lots of wheelsppin and beached moments involved on entering and leaving the stupid place lol. Why make it so hard for people like me to recycle ?!
now i'm never recycling oil :mad:
hey it's not my fault speedbumps are too high :rolleyes:

anyways got a new downpipe (thanks to my gf at crayford motors BIG UP! lol)
it's a non-Fiat one... for the same model though (1.2, twin downpipe) and man it sounds totally different... soooooo much nicer, i was surprised... hopefully get loads of vids n pics at the southend end of summer cruise... yay no exhaust leak at ALL ! woop.
 
getting my shorter shocks and springs next month for my bday, should be going down 70mm at the front and 50mm at the rear, which is low enough for me ;)

and you need to get like 3 or 4 sticker books and a loada random stickers, place them all over the panel (wing mirror, etc) so the original body colour cant be seen, and then clear lacquer over the top to stop them peeling :D

btw im going lakeside next saturday, wanna meet me down there?
ive heard its starting to get good again. used to be packed, but then the Five-0 killed it off... but its on its way back :D
was gonna go down 2nite but was at ozzfest :p

also, ill be at that southend cruise, 25th right?
