another post on the progress ive mad with my loved puma. well after 6 months i got back on my feet with a new job and started work on the car again. i havent got any pics of the rebuilt of the front end but the engine bay has been fully painted along with the under carrage and undresealed to the axle mounting brackets. some pics of the work done along with its new home.


i started removing the interior


the front end built up and painted







here is the little gem that i got for £500 with 12 months mot.






i removed the back box but because my grider was dead and the exhaust was in one full piece i had to drop the rear beam to get it out with the cat intact hahahahaha



and its fair to say it was nackered

pics of the old against the new, i bought a sportex middle section and back boxbefore i lost my job.




also i couple of pics of the underneath of the rear of the car



also the engine for the car had to be fitted into my silver puma, long story but i went throught a 10-14 inch puddle on the way to work doin about 40mph and only was it as my front wheels nearly touched the waters edge. needless to saythe engine sucked in lots of water. when i droped the oil i had about 2-3 seconds of water before oil came out also when i took off the inlet and found about a pint of water sitting there it was nackered. here are some pics of the new engine. you can see the clean engine through all the dirty old parts from the original engine. pics





i then bought a car with my next wage packet, a 1997 mk2 ford mondeo with 74k on the clock and a full ford service history for £500 off frea bay the person i bought if from paid £800 for the car from a dealer 2 weeks before and was only the second owner from new but after spending £100 putting new tires on it he then lost his job so put the car up for sale and i was the lucky bidder
i scrapped the silver car after removing all the studd i could reuse in one way or another.
pics of the engine being fitted into the blue puma and the removal of the sound proofing






then i started with a bit of weight loss
i cut down the plastic in the rear bumper to saveweight

cutting out metal


also started striping the door and getting rid of some of the unwanted weight. i also cut a pannel to cover the door from the inside.

i moved back in with my mum and dad along with my fiancee and her son so i stopped work on the car again so here are the final pics of the car at our old house. once i moved i had alot more monet to spend on the car and i progressed a long way. here are the final pics of the car when i got the rest of the body onto the car and put it back on its wheel. pics
