not sure what colour to wrap these door cards, blue, silver, matt black, or CF

id go with silver and put some carbon fibre puma logo's along the bottom?

 

[ScubaSteve]

too late!

first job waxoyl the bottom seam of the door, try and prevent rust forming, common spot

stuck the film on

on the car

 

[PumaJay]

Haha never mind! Still looks good tho mate, you going ford fair? Would be good to see the car in the flesh... Could also join me and Zara on track

 

[ScubaSteve]

Car won't be ready still got cage to get welded in and inside resprayed etc

 

[PumaJay]

dont worry about stuff like that, my car will be in whatever useable state i can get it into!

 

[ScubaSteve]

i mean more that i wont have the time, il more then likely be at combe later in the year anyways

 

[PumaJay]

fair enough, i might see if i can make it to coombe this year but buying a house is slowing progress on the car big time, but oh well must get my priorities right... dont think i could live to comfortably in the puma

 

[ScubaSteve]

small update, changed the door pulls for blue ones that match the harnesses

black pair of door pulls going if anyone wants them £5 posted

 

[audio84]

Gorgeous. Never really fancied a silver puma but this is a huge exception. Stunning work!

A quick question though - those Speedline Corse's... what size are they?

 

[ScubaSteve]

16's

 

[PumaJay]

Door pulls look 100% better in blue

 

[Xparty]

Looks Pretty Cool on Blue! 850kg, that puma must eat "light" food :lol: :lol: :lol: Keep up mate :thumbs: :thumbs:

 

[ally frp]

Thats nearly 200kg lighter than standard. Would love to what acceleration is like in the car. Think you should offer the 200kg weight cutting as a service now having completed your own Puma. Sure you could workout a labour only package to do the manual jobs without material cost i.e stripping all interior, dash, doors, wiring etc

Cheers

cut the brackets off my spare door pulls and used them to finish off where the pull coems through the doorcard

 

[ScubaSteve]

decided to have a crack at making some door handle surrounds out of you scrap trimmings of alu i have left over had no idea how these were going to turn out

measured up

cut out the rectangles

marked out the hole that needed to be cut

cut out and after a lot of file work we had this

drilled some hows for the screws

did some final filing of edges to ensure they werent sharp and to get the best possible straight edge

and on the car

looks ok considering i made them from scratch with just a jigsaw and a file, better then before imo
