is that a gt turbo? had one with a ridiculous bodykit when i was 19 and have never been left to forget it by my mates, although it was a good straight car. had it for about 1-1/2 years before i got a S1 and never had any problems with it, only thing is that there is no way in the world you'll keep the front wheels from spinning!!!!!! good fun car though all in all, but lots of boyraced/thrashed versions unfortunately.

hi it spins well and boosts loads about 17-20 psi
out in the wet last night your right it has alot of traction loss on the front
but still so fun to drive just hope she don't stack it
its a good model well looked after loads of history and performance mod receipts hope i did choose a good model no issues yet

These are a quick motor if done right. I can remember been in my mates years ago and we were racing a newish impreza wrx and it wasnt pulling away from the punto. Make sure the back suspension arm bushes arnt nackered. Also when i worked for fiat there was a recall on all puntos that shape on the brake pipes. The pipes above the tank were corroding and leaking. Most puntos i did got new brake pipes.

I had a M reg one in 2008 iirc. The window motor packed up, gearbox exploded, headgasket failure, exhaust blowing and I can't remember what else went wrong 
was a fun car to drive and the handbrake worked well

I do like these little motors they remind me of the UNO turbo they where nice little cars lol
The morettes suit it and I reckon a nice set of oz super turismos or a set of tsw imolas would set it right off in 15 or 16 inch.
Hope it's a good one mate and you don't get to much grief with it.
