    Just brought a 1996 punto gt

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT
    Completly original no boy racers greasy mits have been on it lol

    Only plans really are to restore the body work
    Possibly panel filter
    And possibly replace the plastic recirc valve as i have heard these are known for failing, but do NOT want a twin piston dv the makes a loud wooooooosh, bit too chavvy for me imo.

    But i think ive got a bargin all thing considered, always wanted another fiat turbo after parting with my UT ( uno turbo ).

    Nice one, although I had to laugh at the 50mpg bit. It looks pretty clean and a fair bargain price.

    You say that now, if your intentions are to not tweek anything, then i suggest you dont return to this forum lol as its bad for your wallet.

    When i bought my gt, i just wated induction, exhaust and dv, it turned into collecting parts for a fully forged engine, and am now on my second GT collecting parts to break 200hp lol.

    Good luck with it non the less mate
