We all like a small Italian car, I assume. I learned to drive in a Fiat Strada. Fantastic free revving little go-cart. 😁Love this build, more please. 👍
HOWDY NEIL, IT A GREAT FEELING PUTTING STUFF BACK IN THE CAR AFTER A FIX OR REPAIR , ( ISN'T IT!!!) I'M FEEL GOOD JUST WATCHING IT BECAUSE I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS . 💃
Great work, don’t forget soundproofing the rear quarter panels. Self-adhesant foam on to the back of the plastic panels! This made all the difference on my Punto, the oem panels have NO proofing, just 3mm plastic thats it. Foam very effective for noise, as opposed to dynamat etc which are for resonance really, in tiny portions. Heavy too, that.
Hi Neil, excellent job so far. The sound deadening you put was quite right, shaped exactly to the form of the floor - I'd advise you to get some on the roof too, also on the boot floor. On my '99 Alfa 146 TS I've done those things minus the roof, and the difference is over 7 Db @ 75-80 mph (the legal limit in Greece), which is a heck of a lot - the car was never too noisy at motorway speeds, but now you can have pretty much limo-like trips and practically no road noise / vibrations whatsoever. Great job, keep it up, lovely videos!
@@ItaliaAutos That's great news if you don't mind taking the roof lining off again, the boot is easy, I assure you it will help noticeably more, you'll enjoy the engine sound far more because the deadening will -nearly-eliminate all those unwanted noises. My intention is to put some deadening on my roof too sometime, just too lazy to take the lining off (lol).
awesomeness my man! If i could still driv a manual I’d be planning a bank robbery to get the funds to make you an offer you can’t refuse. Punto GT Turbo is my humming bird. Btw i have seen upholstery bobbling removed with a cheap bic razor and also an electric shaver. I’d try a test first myself. (It was Mike Brewer that used the bic style razor on iirc a vw)
I don't envy you sorting out tgat wiring loom, but coming along nicely Neil. What brand were the two types of sound deadening/ insulation you were using, as I have to do something similar with the doors of my car.
Could always try one of those fabric shavers to get rid of the bobbling, or is the donor car any better even if you have to use the complete seating to match trim?
Hi Neil again been watching all the videos. My Punto gt is grey metalic. I was wondering if you`ll be doing a video of fitting the Clutch master cylinder? Looks a bitch of a job to do from the ground. I`ve done the slave cylinder but didn`t make any improvement apart from that I know it`s a job I won`t have to do now. Will you be doing a video of replacing the Clutch master Cylinder? It works fine but only if I apply more pressure than normal initially and then rest my foot on it as light as possible to keep it active. If I press it down lightly it goes all the way down obvious signs of master cyl. She has a new clutch 2020 May 6k miles since and honestly could drive it all day but it needs replacement. All I know is, right wheel off, inner wheel arch liner off, alternator off for axcesability. Thanks. Keep the video`s coming.
WOW! What a car it will be when you are finished with it. 👍🏼
Seeing this after all the stripping, fabricating and welding done on the car is so good! Amazing progress
I love the fact, that it's a small fiat, and not a £400,000 supercar.... It's definitely more interesting.
Thanks for the comment.
@@ItaliaAutos any time my dude enjoy the rest of your weekend
Just wished more people in the UK decided to up keep Fiats from this period in the same manner , so few left now. Nice job Neil.
There's a fair few being restored but none to this level.

More coming. But it will soon be finished. We'll apart from the engine
Well, I like a small Italian car - I once owned a mk1 Punto EL 6 speed, which was superb!
Coming along very nicely!
I used the dodo dead mat on my 2002 Puma, it was quite tinny, the difference was night and day! Loving the Punto updates!
It's good stuff. Thanks
I'm looking forward to seeing this restoration come together. It looks great so far.
Cheere

Haha nice. Thanks for the comment.
@@ItaliaAutos Thank you, Sir.. Punto GT on the planet: +1 😎
Starting to see the beauty of a nice Mk 1 Punto already!
Indeed! now i just need some time and motivation to crack on with it.
Beautiful work ❤❤❤❤
Thsnkyou
Wow that’s looking really good Neil! Regarding the back seats, try a bobble remover, you can get one for less than a tenner.
I'll give it a go

You are doing a fantastic job there Neil. Loved my Gt when I had one. Keep up the good work. Will be well worth it in the end.
Cheers. I hope so

I've got plenty left

I don't think any offer right now could take it.
Glad to see another video Neil.
Punto is coming on really well mate 👏
Thanks 👍
Get a fabric shaver for that rear bench!
what a pleasure to watch 🙂
which kind of soundproof (company?) products you´re using. The black foam and the silver one ...?
Awsome
Bonjour vous mettez quoi en dessous de la moquette ?
I don't envy you sorting out tgat wiring loom, but coming along nicely Neil. What brand were the two types of sound deadening/ insulation you were using, as I have to do something similar with the doors of my car.
Dodo mat was the black one. Woudnt reccomwnt the brand of the silver stuff as it wasn't sticky enough
@@ItaliaAutos Many thanks Neil, I'll check this black one out.
Could always try one of those fabric shavers to get rid of the bobbling, or is the donor car any better even if you have to use the complete seating to match trim?
Missing from the donor car. I've just ordered one
@@ItaliaAutos that's a bummer but good you managed to find one
hello...what happened wuth the black Alfa 155?thx..
All finished. Never filmed the last episode as it just didn't get any views

👍👍👍
i dont envy you neilone bit lol
Could you think about a better mike - much of the time you are very hard to hear ...
Just do happens I've just bought one. Testing it out before i film a video with it
With the monthly cost of owning a new car whoever buys this Punto GT is getting a bargain!
It's not going to be for sale 👍
@@ItaliaAutos 😍😍😍
Coming along nicely!
