The 'aim' of my 'Project' is fairly simple one for now, don't expect to be reading about Turbocharging or anything like that I'm afraid, it's to keep the puma running as smoothly as possible with quality components mainly for road use.. having said that I am however looking into starting out on track as a novice and be learning and feeling my way forward..
A brief History of W347
April 2008
I brought her from a small time dealer in Runcorn (NorthWest) Spec/condition wise - 1.7 2000 Lux model, Moondust Silver, 52k, 9-spokes, larger 258mm discs, everything worked as it should, only downside was a drivers side bubbly rear arch, dealer wanted £2500 got him down to £2200 as the cambelt needed doing, wouldn't go any lower in relation to the rust but I was still happy with the price so drove it away..
I had already brought some:
smoked side lenses
flat wipers
DMB 'Puma' Gel Badges (like these but Chrome)
so fitted these when I got her back home:
I need to dig out an old photo which I cant find at the mo, but basically looks the same as the next pic of the puma after it's return from PB minis the mudflaps and lower stance
In May
I took her to PumaBuild and had the following work carried out:
Cambelt change with Genuine Ford Kit + Rocker Gasket
WaterPump
Full Powerflex bushes all round (part from 'front lower rear' which are 'uprated FRP')
Eibach Pro Lowering Springs
PiperX Panel Filter
Front & Rear Mudflaps
Ford OE Brake Discs
Also had the Air-Con topped, DOT5.1 brake fluid and a Full Service Carried out.
when I got her back home and she looked like this:
In July
I decided to wet-vac my Puma Mats and refresh the logo:
In October
I brought a full stainless-steel Powerflow Catback Exhaust System with 4" inward rolled pipe and had it fitted in St Helens.
In November
Removed front indicator plastic 'cluster' and fitted Osram Diadem bulbs and dipped and full-beam Halfords Super Brilliance Bulbs (BOGOF)
I then didn't really do anything untill 6 months later (got the Detailing Bug):
May 2009
Full Service and had a full genuine CF Splitter fitted (FRP Mould)
June
I got a dog installed in the boot :lol:
and my Girlfriend brought me many pressies for my Birthday including a soft Cat's Tail she spray painted herself :thumbs:
