Hi all,
Having owned my Puma now for 5 months, I thought it was about time to start a project thread and let you all know how I am getting on with it.
Here is how it looked when I bought it:
Unfortunately, the rear offside arch looked like this close up!!:
Also, the car had been keyed all the way down both sides of the car and across the bonnet so deeply that it wouldn't polish out. I picked it up for £550, with 90k miles and full Ford service history. It drove great and felt really good. Just the bodywork was in bad shape.
So the first job was to get all the rust repaired and the car resprayed I ended up getting both sides, the bonnet and the rear bumper sprayed, so about 75% of the car! The nearside rear arch still needs a bit of work as the rust has started bubbling through and so I will be getting a plate put in that side too now. Anyway, after all that the car was starting look quite tidy again and it was time to start modifying!
