I didn't remember your Punto (at first) but I recognised your drive way lol ??
But I spy my old door strips on the Punto.


Awesome project thread, keep going at it with the detail, though I was a little disappointed not to see pics with the front subframe setup sliding under, but let you off if it was a one man operation.

haha yeah it is quite a memorable driveway !

Oh yeah I remember buying them from you now, with the red stripe on top.

Cheers though. I do have more pics that I might not have included. Got the same project posted on different forums so not sure which has what content on it!

ooh found some more pics:

"Made some right progress today. I had two friends planned to come up but one backed out and the other came at 6pm lol!

So I had to move it all around by myself which was pretty hard but managed eventually after a bit of lateral thinking

About to be put in

Always did like your 60S, been on ebay a few times since you sold it.

Great thread. Thanks for sharing!

Keep up the good work.

[karbineftw]

Cheers buddy.

:O really? I knew it went up for sale around a month after I sold it, didn't know it was up again though. How long ago was this? I'd love to see if it looked any different to when I sold it.

Updates!

Got my non restricted throttle body from another k-series engine. Amazing difference from the one I bodged to make it less restrictive. It just pulls and pulls now. Much faster.

Original:



New one, no pic but it opens the full 90 degrees





MGF steering wheel. Absolutely chuffed with it. He even gave us another MG TF steering wheel for the same original price of the MGF wheel i won on eBay! What a top bloke.

Before:
