Haha thanks

ARRIVED!

 

[alexwilliams840]

today the wishbones came off. I'm going to clean, prime & paint them and then add a mix of flo-flex and oem bushes & new ball joints then put them on my Puma

I must say, restoration is as much fun as modification.
Also ordered a lower strut brace for mine today.
Lots of pics tomorrow.... Probably

 

[Xparty]

Awesome! Nice goodies mate! Keep up!

 

[alexwilliams840]

Here's the current situation, no wishbones and engine completely dropped. will make fitting the gearbox a piece of cake. also there is a metal cover on one of the bolts on the passenger side, it's gone now but i noticed it isn't on the drivers side... I think it's one of those things they add to make changing parts yourself a bit tricky. B*stards.

Gates cambelt kit arrived


Then literally seconds later another knock at the door


And a few minutes after posty arrived with new wiper blades

 

[alexwilliams840]

Came home to a few more bits
Clutch, slave cylinder and exhaust gasket

Then my neighbour brought round the new discs & pads


When the gearbox arrives I can start putting it all together

 

[jonnofitch]

Awesome thread mate. You've really got some progress going here! Nice work!

Providing me inspiration.

 

[alexwilliams840]

Cheers bud, i cant wait to get the other Puma restored so i can crack on with mine
i'm looking forward to seeing how much difference the new wishbones will make over the old ones

 

[alexwilliams840]

This arrived today


I started to get to work on the rear arches.
Removed the carpet and cleaned

Applied this



Then covered in this after a scrub with a wire brush which i didn't photograph




Then did the drivers side.
Managed to take a picture before the clean this time








Will add the black hammerite now

[Qwertben]

[alexwilliams840]

Why not bring it round now :-D

 

[Qwertben]

if your local i just might!

 

[alexwilliams840]

i'm on the moon

 

[alexwilliams840]

Did the quarter panel trims in black suede - just need the edges doing when they are back in the panels

Also did the same boot light mod

Random collection of bits p.s the black suede there is not how it is, that's just a big piece stuck on

With a black suede roof and panel trim i thought sod it, may as well do the parcel shelf too, needs a final clean up but not bad really

 

[jonnofitch]

Looking very swish!

 

[alexwilliams840]

A few things from DMB


Electric blue suede that may replace the red, haven't decided yet
