    303 bhp punto gt

    so yeah of course i bought it

    so the first night of ownership didnt go so well ! after driving it for about half a mile after buying it, coolant temp shot up, steam poured out from under the bonnet so pulled over and found this heater matrix hose burst, damn.



    obviously neither me or brad could of predicted this happening, the next day i went in the loft and found some boxes of old punto parts, and found the exact hose i needed! so swapped it over and all seems good now

    once that was done i finished off what brad started but never finished, and now i know why! even petrol had trouble getting it off



    and heres some pics of how its sitting today:





    unfortunately it hasnt stopped raining since iv had the car, so i have no idea how well it actually goes yet just spins up!

    Lighter fluid and a filler spreader will get that off.

    What's the plan for this then?

    Glad someone bought it rather than it being broken.

    the good weather isnt far away now and you can begin to enjoy it.

    well it would be nice to get the bodywork sorted... im not sure what i can do with it though.... it just has a little lacquer peel on both doors, both wings, bonnet and bumpers....

    Get in painted then? the advert alluded to the fact the body work wasnt the best plus you saved a wedge on the final price right

    Needs bigger wheels imo but i think you said you were going to address that?

    Wicked car though beau

    Rota grid drifts in a 8x16 would be the nuts on coilovers

    It would be a shame to put a cheap plastidip job on this.
