    Punto GT Project or Donor £300 in LA14

    For Sale is a 1996 N reg Punto GT, it’s an early GT2 (no speaker pods in doors) Red/fade to Pink no TAX or MOT – V5 present

    I bought this car at the same time as MY GT3 to use for parts but I didn’t need it I paid £300 hence its for sale price, originally it wasn’t running due to fuelling problems but after reading Tom’s thread when he had problems I just cleaned up the fuse holder, replaced the fuel filler pipe on the tank and off it went.

    Start with the bad bits

    Paint faded, roof and bumpers are the worst areas
    Rust hole in spare tyre well
    Small rust hole on N/S floor pan under seat cross member (I have had a good poke around and this is the only hole I could make)
    Areas of the floor pan have surface rust which will need treating
    Rear brake callipers will require refurbishment or replacing
    Rust forming around the top of the wind screen and under the rear screen
    Rear spoiler and bonnet vent
    Sunroof stuck open the first time I opened it
    Battery is dead
    No air filter
    No radio

    Now Good Bits

    It runs well
    No bad smoke from exhaust
    Oil and water are fine
    Fuel tank has no leaks
    Lights in good condition
    Lowered spring and shocks (not new but serviceable)
    Good gear box
    Atmospheric Dump Valve
    Interior looks complete and in good condition
    Just needs some time and TLC
    Cheap I think…

    I will check the compression in the week when it’s not raining
    And I forgot to get the mileage but again I will get this when it’s not raining (it’s under a car cover at the mo…)
    I have a replacement sunroof and front and rear sporting bumpers in red
    It has 4 Team Dynamics Monza alloy wheels but two of these wheels have some minor buckles and will need refurbishment 4 good Avon tyres though

    PM me with any questions I will do my best to answer them as quickly as possible

    Tom

    Car is still for sale

    It has been a long time since i looked at the car due to my mothers death in the later part of last year,
    (car is at my mums and didn't feel like going up to work on it)

    I went up today fitted the battery off my GT3 and she started without any problems, left her running for a good 20 minutes then did a comp test, 3 on each cylinder results below

    1 = 135 - 135 - 135
    2 = 140 - 137 - 137
    3 = 130 - 130 - 130
    4 = 140 - 140 - 140

    If any body is interested, PM me and i will try to be quick getting back to you

    Thanks Tom
