I've been wanting to start this for some time but was struggling to get my head around uploading the photos so I hope this works.
Mmmm, not exactly what I wanted as regards the photos but here's some more.
The car sits on 17" x 7"BSA wheels with ST170 front and back discs and calipers with 40mm lowering springs and 20mm axle spacers on the rear.
These photos are showing the car about 70% complete as I still have some minor welding to do on the floorpans so the front ride height is about right but the rear's a little high as there's no tank, middle of the exhaust and seats/trim/carpets in it.
I bought the car in December 2012 from an older couple in Sheffield as I could guarentee the mileage of 37,000 miles both by service history and MOTs and the bodywork, particularly the sills and rear arches was in good condition.
The first thing I did was to start to rust proof the car underneath as most of the underside of the Puma is just in etch primer as standard. Everything was stripped off and then rusty areas treated by grinding back to bare metal, 2 coats of Jenolite, a coat of 2 pack etch primer, a coat of stone chip and then either a coat of body schutz or cellulose red (above the heat shields adjacent to the exhaust
