Aerial shot:


Sophies mk7 behind it

Stripped out:





Kurust/Waxoyl/Hammerite started:





This Morning:




Sounds mental stripped out but will go back to being a full interior once the rust prevention/treating is done.

Puma has been stripped out in the hunt for any holes nothing to bad found - bit of surface rust that has been kurust treated and hammerited

Stripped:




Painted:




Back together:






12v cover replacing cig lighter:

I miss the days of looking for rust

Your knob looks in better condition than mine, all was fine until I got married and it started getting worn down (tungsten carbide wedding ring).

are you sure

got some beading pics as washed polished waxed it Friday

luckily my wedding ring hasn't damaged mine to much

Cleaned/Polished/Waxed Puma - so some pics and beading shots








Beading:

some photos from central day!

Hotel:








Santa Pod:






book time is 16.7 so pleased with that!

MOT passed - just needed 2 flexi brake hoses and a droplink

Have t cut and waxed her so will get pics up soon

Some photos of the puma

a) in a new place (the Oxfordshire countryside lol)
b) on a working phone camera!












Have also ordered some wind deflectors

Also have 2 replacement front wings in the garage - have brought some anti rust primer and stonechip to coat the inside of the wing with to stop them rotting
(drivers side is badly dented and passenger side is rotten! will get replacement 1700 decals)

Does need 2 arches, rear could do with being lower, seat repair......

what a bitch the wind deflectors have been

After ford fair the puma is coming off the road - It's just been treated to a new headunit

Will become a project car and some of the plans are listed below although these may or may not change

- Lower Strut Brace
- Possible Upper Strut Braces front and rear
- Paint plastic engine cover yellow
- Change the front wings
- Get the rear arches sorted out
- Decent Brakes
- Uprate the speakers possibly a sub
- Give the car a good mop and see what the paint is like as I can't afford or want to respray the car due to cost
- Some more rust proofing
- Would like a Oil Pressure Gauge and Oil Temperature Gauge in a pod
- Service
- Get drivers recaro repaired
- Look at suspension kits or springs as the current one sits far to high on the back

The replacement (work have blocked photobucket so no pics - add me on facebook (Adam Meilack) to see photos until I can get some on here

Won't be on the road until next week when the puma is retired from daily duties but on the drive home it is so smooth and sounds amazing

Puma is officially off the road now - currently in the garage..........

parts have been gathering for the puma.......

I have anti rust primered the front wings - they need fitting
have front lower strut brace and rear upper strut brace that need fitting
sophie is buying me the front upper strut brace next month
Do want some new suspension so it actually looks lower

sophie has brought me a front upper strut brace as a anniversary present so its on the way

bloody photobucket is blocked at work

But still needs parts fitting

current thoughts are to strip the rear of the puma out - get some decent suspension so the back is lower - put some speakers in boxes behind front seats - fit strut braces - modify airbox from current smashed out bottom look - change wings
