Punto (Mk2/2b) My Punto 5 Door SPORTING TO BE!!

Introduction

hey guys and girls, i never really had the time to make a members motors post (well i did but it didnt work properly!)
Ok heres my punto when i got it 2 years ago

i bought it for £500 off my dads mate who said he needed a cheaper car for his son, Its a 1.2 16V engine 5 Speed gearbox wish 55k on the clock wish FSH and new clutch, coilpack and HT leads soo WIN! lol BUT it looks too old aged month later the headgasket goes!:cry:
3 days later i get another engine out of a bravo in the scrappy with 34k on the clock :)
Me being 18 i will obviously make it better!
1st thing to do (you ALL will disagree!) Lexarse lights!

now looking like a chav my next move was to remove the wheeltrims and paint them so i did and found a mate of mine that had a set of sporting skirts for sale THE SAME COLOUR!!!!!:slayer: lol

with the outside looking.......different i then tackled the inside so changed the colour of the dials and heater controls (the dash display is now blue, sorry this is an old pic!

Then i fit a sony xplod subwoofer 15'' with 2 300W 6x9's

At this time my mate smashed my gearbox by wheelspinning it and yanking the handbrake!
Luckily his bro just crashed his 8v on the snow last year so he gave me his gearbox lol

then i bought a set of 50mm Eibatch springs and Blisten Shocks! I managed to talk to a mate at the local pub saying his mate has a set of active sport alloys for sale and are powercoated in black for £120 inc good tyres so i bought them and painted the drums black and the calipers yellow lol(y)

Next i put a Air filter on and moved it out of the way of the radiator :D

My oil breather was split anyway so i used some blue pipe and cut a hole into the intake pipe :) this made the car sound very throaty! i like it alot!!!

a month later i decided to tint my lexarse lights and put on a powerflow cat back exhaust system! ive got to say they have made a HUGE improvement on how the car looks and drives!

update, punto is still going strong! but i wanna drive a turbocharged car now lol ill be getting my gt4 on the road soon and looks like im gna sell the punto soon (n)
i really dont want to but i have no room for it anymore :(
thinks to do before i sell, m.o.t finishing on 28th october, so put a full test on it.
i really hope someone on here buys it and looks after it as much as i have
 
at the MOT station being tested by my dad lol - it failed on bottom ball joints, unfortunately the bottom ball joints are one whole unit :/
both sides
tell you wht, u can tell my rear light reflectors still work after tinting the lights!

if you spew at the price of bottom arms for a punko your bottom will fall off when you price em for a gt4:
:);)
 
Lol my dad is very strict with my MOT (he hates my punto and gt4...he's picky about everything ive got and he'd fail it if there was no water in the washer bottle!)
bought a set bottom arms £59.26 inc VAT for both..... trade discount lmao

as for the gt4 id prefer not to mension as £60 for one ball joint is the price range.... lol!

things i got from the scrap heap.... seats, drivers side wing (same colour) headlight and driveshaft lmao
thanks guys for the compliments!
i gotta say it looked sexy in the brake rollers where the front splitter was nearly ripped off :p

thats because its an MOT failure itself
Insufficient liquid sprayed onto screen

Might not be a fault - but prove it to them
They are there to test not diagnose

Also a mk2b Bumper possibly?

i know its a MOT failure..... my dad being a tester for 20+ years you pretty much know everything they check for haha
on another note... new wishbones and ball joints!

nice and shiney now!
on the downside i was working in the cars interior (rear seats) when a bolt snapped so i drilled it out and started to tap a thread next thing the tap snaps in two and my hand went straight thru the sharp edge.....ouch!
never really posted a boot pic before so here it is.... not to keen on the blue but its better than normal! haha
