Either way, hell would freeze over before I spent £20k modifying a car like that!

Also noticed the tow bar, nice sporty touch

... but it still looks like a Punto

Sorry mate, I bet a lot of blood, sweat and tears has gone in to it, but I can think of many, many things I'd rather drop £20k on.

haha I was thinking what a crap interior until the close up of your doors!! I like the back quarter panels you've done.
The centre console is also nicely done mate. Why is that turbo boost gauge thing on a tilt??

Also I agree with the colour because in the first pic in my eye's it looks like a mildly monitored usual boy racer car but it's more your pic taking I think then your car. However you do get a very good stealth feel with that look which is a good thing.
I think the Punto GT shape was alright myself? And many people have spent far more then 20 grand on there home theatres...... plus i think if you've done all the work yourself then why not, it's a hobby at the end of the day.

You need to take some pics next year, say February or March when the snow has finally gone!! Because from the pic of the engine bay I can tell you've done a crap load of work to it.

Also that head deck! Very classy mate. I should also ask what's the BHP?

Moved to the modified cars thread.

You've been a very busy chap there,and if you've rebuilt the engine yourself,I'd have to congratulate you for it.

fair play on some choice engine parts, but 20k?? is that a bit of an overestimate?

I suspect you'll end up causing a lot of confusion,and earning a few dismissive comments into the bargain.

Easier to tot up the cost of the engine mods etc than lumping the car into it as well perhaps.
