I believe I saw a picture of this car on facebook.... on tow.. Too much in looking good than maintaining it.

Couple of updates!
Been a busy boy & done a few little bits to the Puma! (with help!) :grin:
AP coilovers fitted!
Powerflex front arm & anti roll bar bushes fitted
Rear strut brace fitted (it has been laying about in the boot for ages!) :lol:
Lower front strut brace fitted
Only been for a short drive since it's all been fitted, but it sticks to the road like poo to a blanket! :lol:

So, the rear strut brace has gone from the boot to.... erm, in the boot! Didn't move far did it! 
Have you got much clearance between the lower brace and the engine/gearbox? You may get some knocking if it's too close....
Looking good though mate!

Good details there.. liking the carpeted flooring... something I was in the middle of doing, just cant figure out how to do the sides well enough.
If youre going to be lowering and raising the collies, put some copper grease on the threads so the road grime doesn't hinder you.

Mate I've just noticed, is that some rubbing on your calipers or have you shimmed it?

No clearance mate! & there was a slight knocking so may need to change the mount or have a play with a couple of spacers! :lol:

It looks like one of the little badges from the rear quarter windows....

I only had mine fitted on the 1.4 for a short time and I have fucked it. It's bent and scratched to fuck.

Not done much on the Puma lately, although got a few little things planned over the winter! :lol:

One thing I have just done though is to update the speakers! I do love my music (although being an old git it is mainly 80's stuff!) & the standard speakers were struggling a bit. Probably doesn't help that they're 12 years old!
Didn't go too mad as I don't drive it loads and I've got a fairly good setup in my Mondeo.
Fitted some 5 1/4 Fli 3way speakers in the front & a set of Kenwood 3way 6x8's in the rear (which fit straight in!) it sounds much more meaty with my old Alpine head unit! :grin:
A few pics
Original fronts.
New Fli speakers.
Fitted.
New Kenwood rears.
