The ebay advert is here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fiat-Grande-Punto-Abarth-Esseesse-Sabelts-Brembos-Sunroof-High-Spec-/292309834549?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=7IsnLP0vM%252BgK7bziSHpPFcrJ6sg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc That has the full spec list which as...

Lovely! I must admit I much prefer the looks of the evo ones :smile:

I’m still undecided on the stickers, part of me likes them whereas the other part likes clean simple cars so is tempted by your route.

Sadly yes that is true which went down to a lot of laughs amongst my close ‘car’ friends haha!

They are unbelievable, I’ve been on groups for most marques and never faced a welcome like it!

They are usually quite expensive for what they are and I personally wouldn’t pay the full premium for one, this one saying Fiat on the log book meant I got it for 3k which when you add the parts cost up is a bargain, only 47k on the clock too :) Well that settles it, up for sale it goes haha...

I was surprised when I actually started to really like it!

I've read that they seem to be a bit problematic, luckily it won't be getting abused much so fingers crossed it hangs on, if we have any major issues it will just get broken for parts :smile:

Bit of a random purchase to be honest, a good friend of mine had one of his cars on ebay, I know the car well and know the full history of it, I was stood is pets at home when with 5 seconds left when I thought why not, whacked a bid in and ended up winning it so I now own this thing: advert 1...

Good choice of car to work on your skills with, where abouts are you in the country? Plenty of people on here are happy to help out and offer advice :) You also bought the fastest colour!

Thought I would post another quick update. First off I took the weight saving a step too far: Untitled by Paul Morgan, on Flickr Yes a fresh door is finally on, I could do with swapping the check strap over as this one is a little stiff but other than that happy that's over with. I then...

Sorry about the picture size, I'm only used to posting through Flickr.

His full build album is Here Not sure wht it is set to privacy wise but I've attached a couple of pics showing the adapter plate, it was all homebrew driveway stuff, 330d manual box is needed because it has a 35mm input shaft whereas the petrol one only has 24mm I think he said.

A fried of mine has just mated a lexus 1UZ v8 with a manual 330d box for his S12, it's pretty awesome, I can get more info if required:)

One from Lindos the other week. IMG_9297 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr I've also just picked up the new Canon 50mm STM lens to have a play with, my first non kit lens, looking forward to learning more, for now I've just been running around the garden with it. IMG_9458 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr...

Love it! I'm quite partial to anything S body wise. A friend of mine has one with a lexus V8 in it which is awesome :smile:

Looks like a nice little example, as said skoda splitters are about £15 and will tidy up the front end at a much cheaper price than the renault alternative. Wheels wise I'm surprised turinis haven't been mentioned yet, they are the go to wheels on here, I personally prefer 2118's or pro race...

I saw you were giving up for the time being....this made me sad. I then saw you had sorted it....this made me happy again. Top work, hopefully the issue with the injectors gets sorted eventually and then you can enjoy what you have built properly :).

IMG_9026 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr Not the best example of photography but we are all suckers for pet pictures :)

Thought I would add a few of mine in here, not sure how I have missed this thread! IMG_8720 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_8723 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_8726 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_8744 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr IMG_8982 by Paul Morgan, on Flickr...

Brilliant photos! The cars all look awesome, I really like the model car ones :)

Cottenham? with Jenna? if so he's part of our whatsapp chat and he went on the last ring trip I missed, I haven't met him in person yet but speak to him most days.

Rebel! haha, yeah they all branched off because of certain parts of the site/members, not sure on the ins and outs but we have a good bunch out of it so no complaints, they are the lot that I do the ring trips with :)

Crimewatch? haha. I do quite a lot with the Fiat circles yes, I'm good friends with the bunch that run torque italia that branched off from Fiat forum, Jason, Jai, Jon etc, I haven't owned one personally though despite all the peer pressure :) Sadly it wasn't a shock to me either! It does...

I saw the shower gel pop up on flickr and wondered what you were up to! Nice turn around there, as you say it should look great retrimmed.

Yeah slight pain! this is the unluckiest car I've had bodywork wise! She's happy paying whatever it takes to fix it luckily, shame I couldn't fix it the easy way though, I was hoping to avoid paint but like you say at least it will be sorted :)

Update time again, sadly not a good one (apart from the end). My run of luck has continued with the car, my dad moved my car onto the road to get his out, literally 2 minutes later my neighbour reversed out and straight into the side of it, yup another panel with a dent in it: Untitled by...

Looks awesome as usual, you certainly have the photography dialed in now too! I'm hoping to make it over to CSF too, it would be good to meet you properly :)

@White16valver Thanks for the information, really appreciate it, I'll have a play with the camera tonight.

Great pictures! How would I go about getting the effect with the blurred background like you have done with the peace and love signs? I am trying to expand on my knowledge a bit, really trying to push my photography at present.
