    Welcome to Psc

    Sporting seem to be a bit thin on the ground too these days.

    Had a proper look over the punto over the last week and it looks very solid, the above list of bits that need doing are a deffo, the passenger side shock is worse than expected, it's fubar'd so a replacement is on order along with new topmount, also found the slight blow in the downpipe is a gaping hole so that's on the list to replace too, as well as the wishbones as the bushes are shot lol, so far it's costing £100 for the parts but also got to replace the windscreen as the crack is an mot fail, oh well lol hopefully everything will be done over the next 2 weeks and ill be back on the road
