    well finally i picked up the disc sheilds and caliper brackets today after a 6week wait, i do have a question for you lot tho. i ordered a new header tank from them and after waiting 4 weeks they told me they could not get one as they no longer make them for the mk1 punto. im sure this is not true as iv noticed a fair few people on here getting them if anyone can find out for me would be very greatfull. anyway made a bit of progress tonite but iv got work early tomorrow so just a wee tease . and by god its bloody hard work fitting the beam on your own!!


























    i shall get the other side done tomorrow and take some pics of under the car exhaust is back on and the cage has been sandblasted and is now down the powder coaters

    I've got a crick in my neck now! So, a hot foot for any unsuspecting pedestrians, eh? And what door mirrors are those?

    It's all looking good, though. Obviously paying attention to the details.

    Excellent work mate. Love a lot of the little details.

    Just to let you know I put new bushes in the rear subframe and fitted the mod cups and have had no problems.

    I also have that weird hole in the spare wheel well in exactly the same place, mines also a similar age GT2! :S Drainage point?
