Well as the Fiesta Van has gone.
I needed a daily. Preferably petrol so I know it will start properly in the mornings unlike older diesel engines.
And as I'm a cheap skate I can't be arsed to buy anything half decent. Well I lie. I wanted a 306 D Turbo or HDI. Found one on autotrader inmy price range but it was too far away for me to travel, (60 miles hah) just to get there and most likely be a shitter hence the price it was.
So here you have it... MK1 Punto 55 S - 1.1 SPI engine
Very dirty as I havent washed it for a month. And with no door lock as I broke into it.
Its cheap to fix, it works, its cheap to insure, tax, run.
Plans to make it half decent so I keep it for a while:
Replace doorlocks (DONE)
Sporting/SX Centre console (DONE)
Sporting/SX roof console, map lights, clock etc (DONE)
Sporting clocks with rev gauge, but most importantly a TEMP GAUGE! (DONE)
Electric Windows(DONE)
Remote Central Locking (DONE - well need to fit with alarm)
Lowered 60mm (DONE - 40mm though)
15" Fiat Stilo Steelies, sprayed gloss black (DONE - well... 15" alloys going matt black)
Foglights(DONE - still got to refit and wire after painting)
Paint bump strip lines on bumpers black (CHANGE OF PLAN)
Black bump stripes from a Sporting, sprayed same black (CHANGE OF PLAN)
Skirts off a Sporting, sprayed black also (DONE - READY TO FIT)
Black sunstrip (DONE)
Black chequered roof (CHANGE OF PLAN)
Tints all round (CHANGE OF PLAN)
Fiat Coupe front Leather Seats (heated I think...) (DONE - Well, leather look seat covers
)Most expensive parts will be the seats and tyres most likely.
One day I may get a "decent" car... I still have an urge for other cars, VAG TDI's, other Fords, another MK3 Fiesta... but Ive had enough for now.. and this Fiat will do me fine. Although I might get a PUG HDI or VAG at some point if something comes along cheap enough at the right time.
