Hi newbie here looking for some advice?!

Hi lads I've just signed up and been looking through the forum, very good site and very helpful . I had a question that I'm hoping will help me out alot. My mate has a punto gt turbo sat in his garage, he's thinking if selling to to make some money for a finance car... The engine runs but
Seems to over rev when it's cold, the car could do with new sills welded on and there are a few small rust holes in the floor. It's got a bigger turbo (haven't a clue what one yet) and claimed to be 170bhp, he only wants £400 for it and I'm thinking if I put some time into I could be rewarded with a nice car?! Can anyone help pointing me in the right direction please. Weather to stay away or shall I try and snatch it off him? I appreciate any help thankyou!

id pick it up at that price.

lots of work can be done yourself if you have the will.

I would buy it pal, it most likely won't be a big problem to fix, and this forum has plenty of people that know there stuff and are willing to help out.

I bought mine last year for £400.
It needed some work doing on it (welding, alloys sorting out ) its taken me a while but it's nearly there.
If it was me pal I'd snatch his hand off

Thanks for your reply jimbob, by the sounds if it I think it just needs some TLC hopefully I can swipe it up off him! Don't spose there are any well known local members to Sittingbourne at all?

Welcome to Psc

Any pics of this gt?

What colour is it?

Dean lives in sheppy, he's the guy to know if you need work doing.

Also, Brad is close by.

To be honest, quite a few members are from the London area.

Sheppey is about 10 minuets from me aha! Tbh I've always loved these little cars but don't know sod all about them lol, what they like to work on? Thankyou
