hey there all!! alright, so for the past year and a half, ive slowly been doing up and styling my mk1 Punto 60s.
So this is how it first started, black bumpers, and very very basic looking, no electric windows or central locking.

So my first job was to find a nice cheap Punto Sporting which i stole the doors and bumpers and side skirts, and mirrors and prepped them up and also bought a nice spoiler to go with :)

So i sent the car away for a bottom half respray and got it back looking nice and fresh :D and no more rust!!

So i didnt get many pictures immediately after the respray or anytime after the respray, but i then decided to put a gooood looking spax 50mm lowering kit on :D. I also had the back windows tinted which also looks sweet :)

So i decided to take things up a notch and grab a new engine for it!! so i found a low milage engine and new gaskets, serviced the engine. This is the new engine...

So we started the transplant!! Which also involved having to remove the dashboard... isnt as complicated as it looks :)

The new engine pretty much started straight away so that made me happy :)

and also, inbetween all of this, i have also put in some Punto leather seats :), I have tinted my rear lights, and decided to put on some nice looking alloys, also putting in a sporting steering wheel, plasma dials, and leather gaitors :)
so heres how the car looks now...

I will get some more pictures uploaded :)
any questions please ask!
 
Used to have one identical to that a few years back was a nice little car, you've clearly put more work into yours however.

The only let down is the lack of power steering.
I do like the seemingly carpeted engine bay.
