I got the interior parts painted now.

More painting. Now from blue to bottom.

I painted the bottom with epoxy, hopefully that will keep the rust away for a couple of years.

I got an idea and made it happen! The new location of the filler cap under the tailgate.

I have not been in contact with Gazoo racing Team 😅 For the blue Puma, I got this wide set from the Estonian Rallycross team Reinsalu. It is about one inch wider than the s1600. Link Reinsalu Puma parts Ford Puma body panels - Reinsalu Sport Below is a picture of the reinsalu body series...

Right hand inner fender ready. 1.5 al and attached with body glue and a few screws and pop rivets

A picture of pollution without words

Do you want more bottom welding pictures here or is this a nightmare to look at 🤣

In the back, we had to make room for the upper support arms for the frame beams, maybe you can see it better from this angle.

Rear diff fitting

The idea came about because I live in Finland in the winter, so maybe four-wheel drive would be nice. So I drive Puma in the winter for my commute. The Audi a3 technology was affordable, of course I didn't think about putting a Puma 1.7 machine with a turbo. That would be a great package.

Then I started to place the 150ps power class machine in places I welded the raised pieces from the Puma beam to the support beam of the Audi

The bottom plate is starting to be ready, the construction of the places for Audi's longitudinal support arms was quite a big job for the Puma's body.

A few pictures of the initial situation, but the rust has already been repaired. I had to make the repair shutters myself because I couldn't find ready-made ones anywhere quickly. Technology donor a3 I took the middle tunnel off

This is a normal old Puma 🤣 a previous Puma has even made it into a newspaper in Finland! https://www-is-fi.translate.goog/autot/art-2000001939802.html?_x_tr_sl=fi&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=fi&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true

I lightly removed the rust before priming

I'll try my best, in Finland you need to choose a Puma model with first registration in 1997, which you can make a change of traction. So I couldn't use my 2000 body. So we picked up a 1997 model body 700 km away. And it was rusty! 🤣

Does anyone want to hear about a new widebody project with Audi's 1.8t quattro soul

Yes, that other one is my brother

We are same Nice name, my in Finnish 😅
