I'm not going to spend a grand or two making it mint again just to sell it.
The interior was sold months back anyway so more hassle than it's worth.
Please don't buy a rare, limited production run car again whatever the manufacturer.

If it didn't decide to start falling apart just before my littlun arrived I'd have sold it whole.
I had a poke about the rear, 4/5 holes dotted about. Exh mani split in two, insane vibration under acceleration all in a week.

Can you not just take it off the road and do a bit to it every now and then.

Put it up on ProjectPuma, I'm fairly sure someone will want to take it off your hands.

Will have a think this week, will pop it on there if I decide to sell it.
I would like to see it saved either way though.

If you are seriously thinking of selling the FRP, please send me an email so we can talk details.

Heyup Glenn. IMHO I think the Puma handles well on 17s. Mine has 17s with Michelin tyres and lowered 40mm. I've not got any powersteering or ABS either and its still fun.

the 17s look fine on a puma but found it way too harsh on normal about town driving so plummed for 7jx16s

One of my Puma's 80% complete... The second turbo Puma is in a state and the Ford Puma Cup Car is under construction so you'll have to wait for them.

I really do like the Puma, I keep thinking about swapping the ST170 for one, as we have a couple of good clean low mileage 1.7's at work.

Keep meaning to get some pictures of mine in it's current state, but it's fooooking filthy
I'm actually enjoying not having to worry about washing it, the Escort was pampered every week, so it's great to just get in and go.

Thanks Aaron, me too!! A Hobby project is always going to take time, if not financially then time consuming.

Its been over 12 months since i started, i only get a few hours a week working on the car, spend more searching the web for ideas and info.
