Time spent this weekend and a new catalytic converter was on and the car was given a good clean, inside and out.
There was copius amounts of bird poo on the bonnet which has resulted in some corrosion to the paint. I hope a good session with a t-cut type cutting compound will clean it up and make the car almost faultess. Its cleaned up really well in most areas and with a good wax it shines well.
I took her out for a quick test drive and i was really pleased. It drives very well. There is still a banging from the exhaust which is eminating from the centre silencer. This isnt actually standard on the Mk1 Punto; its a Mk2 exhaust that has been put on as a replacement, so i can simply cut out the centre box and repalce it with a straight pipe. This will stop rattle and improve both performance and sound!
The cars performance is actually supprising for the 60bhp! It really shifts and is a lot of fun on a country road!
Exhaust parts have been ordered and once they are on ill complete the oil, filter and coolant change, then she'll be ready for sale!
