hi all im new to this site but not to others i bought my puma 2 years ago for £900 with 8 months mot, 5 months tax and 93k on the clock. i loved how it handled and the way it took off and left alot of cars for dead it had a top end rebuild with new cam belt and water pump at 82k and with very little rust on the rear arches and no dints anywere i got a good example. or so i thought here are some pics of the car when i bought it





shortly after the brakes started grinding and after a good look i found they needed changing BADLY!
pics of the old and new




the brakes cost me less than £80 with the paint to do the caliper
on the car and painted

here she is polished up with bonnet liftersand no grille (i think it looks better that way)

soon after i fitted some custom 35mm axle spacers along with changing the alternator because it went pop doin 90 on the m60 and worst thing is i had to get towed back by my ex gf not the best day ive had hahahahahah
pics of the spacers




here thay are againt a standard puma the i bought to use while i worked on the melina puma


5 months after i bought the car the big end bearing went. at that point i decided to track the car and change the engine.
here are some pics of me removing the engine and the running gear








the old nackerd lump out
i did save the gearbox, head, cams, water puma and everything else i could salvage hhaha
here are some pics of the rest of the front getting taken off and my new e-tec spoiler that i got for £40





shortly after i had dismantled the front of the car i lost my job so had to stop rebuilding and fixing the car :-(
but before i lost my job i managed to buy:
a new engine woth 56kon the clock
new wish bones
drop links
new cam belt
new cv boots all 4 of them inners and outers
and enought paint to repaint them all after i shot blast all the front pieces at work
i will upload more of my progress sometime tomorow
would like to know what everybody thinks of it
cheers kieran
