    Storm trooper

    http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1072191.htm












    Sadly after only having my lovely punto gt on the road for 5 weeks (owned for 5months). The reason for selling is that I have a baby on the way.

    With fiberglass and filler you would expect cracks, but this car has NO cracks after 3 years of excessive body modifications!

    Idles at 1000rpm when started, drops to 800when warm.

    Oil pressure is 3+ bar on start up and driving, drops to 1.9 - 2.0 on idle.
    Slight (very very very slight) smoke on cold mornings which goes once warmed up.
    Boosts well at 2,700rpm and holds well at 0.8.


    Spec:
    ALARM FITTED WITH RCL!
    GT 1.4 8v engine
    Oil and filter change 1k ago
    Cam belt and pully done 1k ago

    Lowered 40mm all round on GMAX shocks and springs (new).
    Auto fan switch in centre console.
    Leather coupe front seats.
    GT3 rear seats and door cards.
    Drivers and passengers air bags.
    Sea grey dash cc/ heaters
    Plasma dials

    Type K front wings, which are smoothed into the abarth side skirts.

    2 x new rear trailing arms
    2 x new rear bearings
    2 x new track rod ends
    2 x new driveshafts

    3 previous owners -
    1st - original buyer
    2nd/3rd - father and son
    4th - myself

    I have the original receipt from when the car was purchased from Fiat. As well as this I have 2 other receipts of purchase transactions and contact details of the previous owners.

    The car has done around 55k from new. It was a 55s from the factory, but it has had a FULL conversion in april2009.
    When changing insurance from the true GT donor to this, all I had to pay was a £25 admin fee with Adrian flux!

    The mileage on the donor GT was 98k but I believe it is a perfect example of a GT engine.

    Unfortunately with the good there are a few bad bits, as listed below;

    1. It has had a small repair on drivers sideskirt.
    2. There is slight damage on 1 of the rear exhaust boxes (no noises).
    3. The power steering has packed up but is still very driveable and I will supply if not fit another pump before sale.
    4. And finally there is a slight crack in the paint under the drivers door handle (not visible).

    I have buckets of pictures so feel free to email me and I will send links out.

    If you have any questions please text of call me on 07515277879.

    The car is located in SE Kent.
    Many thanks for looking.

    I'd be willing to do a deal on a tidy 16v sporting.
