Can imagine your touched when bolting something on the car for the first time, but do we need to get our hankies out when you put the engine in and start it up for the first time 😉 But following this build Neil and hopefully we can see it " in the flesh" next year during a show, let us know if your taking it to one please.
Thank you so much for giving the Fiat Punto the pride it deserves. It's frowned upon as an average car and nothing special, but I really think it deserves so much more. Please restore a mk2 188 punto, or make a rally car replica out of it.
Neil, many congrats on reaching your first milestone.......fitting the first component back on the bodyshell. No doubt the car will look even better once it comes back from the paintshop . Keep up the great work!👍
I had a Punto Sporting mk1 16v. Absolutely loved that car. It sounded great with an induction kit. It wasn’t ultimately that fast but always put a smile on my face. The inevitable tin rot killed it in the end. I still have the original radio if you’re in need
Hats off to you on the serious depth of TLC going into what is definitely a modern classic. I used to have a 1.9JTD which was a little tired by the time I had it, but was the closest I've been to owning something with some serious poke!
What a fantastic job, filming-wise too. 👏 That will be a terrific Punto again. Herewith, I shall mark 03:00 as the historic moment the first part is bolted onto it. 😂
Looking forward to seeing just with the fresh new paint on Neil as a bare car. I think you've saved another rare car from disappearing from our roads, do you plan to show it at car gatherings ar all?
Chris, did you put grease between wheel hub and the brake disc? I don’t hope so! That’s much reducing friction between disc and wheel hub. All the brake force goes to the screws, not designed for any shear force. Same with the paint on the front hub! But the work on that Punto is really great and the color looks awesome 👏
I am really impress how you all do by your self (alone). Do you have some help in the shop? I and some others really thought that is a scrap car not wort to fix it but you shut my mouth and I am glad you did. I hope I will find a good (enthusiastic) body shop to do my Scudo in the spring.

Hopefully I'll get it to some shows next year.
NEIL,
NICE! YEAH THAT FEELING OF FINISHING SOMETHING YOU CARNT BEAT.
IT'S ALSO GOOD TO LOOK BACK 5/10 YEARS AND THINK "I DID THAT" 💃📸 💃

Nice update and project! The first 'new' part on the car is a beautiful moment after all the hard work on the body.
Great job on car, great job filming. Finally after two years of watching I'm subscribing :).
I've earned that sub finally lol. Thanks for watching
Stirling stuff Neil, great video, each one is a step nearer...
well done on the work, she will be worth it once completed.
Very nice Neil, beautiful job though that bumper doesn't need painting 😉😂
I love your videos!

Ooh nice. Wouldnt say no to the radio 😊

Like a brand new car 🎉 can’t wait for the full respray
Hopefully picking it up next weekend . I'll film another episode over Xmas.
Good work, we going to see more of the mis-timed Busso engine fix? Would love a feature on that.
Not really just watch the red 147 gta series. Similar work
Great video, please don’t leave TH-cam!
Great results. The underside and suspension parts looks better than it was brand new
What a fantastic job, filming-wise too. 👏 That will be a terrific Punto again.

haha nice. thanks for being here.

Brilliant video , it's coming on.
Cant wait to see it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Next episode is live
Beautiful job 👍👍👍✅✅
Woooow that's got to be super hard to grind off the bearing without damaging the hub!
Lots of practice
Even Rocky needs an montage! Can't wait to see the paint job. How are you going on the wiring and the interior noise and insulation bits?
That will all be in another video.
Dobra robota, ale jeszcze dużo pracy cię czeka. Powodzenia.
back on wheels, nice video :)

All by myself.
Great job and progress! Are these wheels temporary ? I’ve never seen them on an Mk1 Punto.
Yeah there temp as the others need a refurbish and tyres.
Perfect!!
Brillant🏎🍀
Is she gonna be a keeper, or you moving her on when finished?
Keeper. It will be at some shows next year.
bellisimo neil
Why don’t you fix your vice firmly to the work bench ?
Yeah I know its one of those jobs that has never been fixed.
