Washed it, Clayed it, wash again, polish, scratch X, wax... entire process took 7 hours. At the end of it, still have got loads to do... the interior is missing loads of small screws and screw caps. wheels need refurbishing as well (does anyone know where I get the paint for the FRP wheels??)

Overall, it is a good little Puma with loads of frp bit on it also pops and bangs as well wink.gif
pumas to wash this morning... :x

stuff to use:
[albumimg]498[/albumimg]
Well managed to sit down a make a list. Would need help from you guys to source for parts as well as advice on these:
Issues Found:
knocking noise at front wheel area (only heard everytime the car is first ignited and moving off)
gear box (strange joint found on gearbox casing, oil deposits found)
engine oil (black and dirty... claims servicing done 1000miles ago <_< )
rattling when accelerating (from driver's foot well... suggestions??)
vibrating driver's wing mirror (suspected broken internal plastics)
damaged door cards front driver, passenger and rear passenger (sealed/held in place using silicone)
parcel shelf falling off (i know i know... usual fix needed)
missing screw for sun visor (what the??? <_< )
crack inner door handle trim (hmmmmm <_< )
broken door card retaining clips (as usual.... think I will velcro the entire door card trim)
damaged front lower grill
missing strut brace (has holes for them so i guess he sold it off <_< )
engine rocker cover missing badge (sprayed blue... looks like it is from pumaspeed or build)
front wiper trim unbalanced (the black trim which sits at the part where the wipers sit... doesnt sit properly)
rear wing dent (hmmm when did this happen?? <_< )
wheel alignment off (re-align)
paint work very dull (need to keep polishing)
missing passenger side seat trim (buy a new one of fords?? or make one up??)
door trims missing screw caps (hmmmmm)
exhaust hanger missing (get poly hanger mounts)
steering wheel worn (replace with my spare one... current one is off a fiesta ZS? has red leather)
hand brake leaver worn (currently modded with a momo brake lever)
headlamps damaged (sealed using silicone)
headlamp levelling motor not work (not sure if problem with electrics or the motor itself)
headliner clothes hanger installed upside down (<_< )
single cigarette burn in driver' seat, passenger's seat and head liner (<_< )
rusty lower grills (might nee to replace the grills in the FRP front bumper with some aluminium ones)
burnt/heat damaged steering rack plastic (need to heat shield the 4-2-1 manifold)
vibrating steering wheel (most likely wheel off balance)
damaged remote key lock/unlock (unable to lock car using IR)
rusted keyhole in boot unable to open boot using key (nothing I can do about it i guess?? Wd40 perhaps??)
passenger side window missing 1 Puma badge <_<
further things to check:
wheels able to remove?
engine rocket cover able to remove?
state of spark plugs?
Cambelt done at 60k
Oh and if anyone requires a prop wheel, I have one from this car (which is being used as a spare wheel). I am not going to use it so selling it off. (will put post and pic in for sale section later in good condition and tyre is brand new)
