Impressive looking engine that! Really loves that Chris (always) makes the bottom end of the engine in Imperial/Racing Blue.

Car looks great! Good to see that you're finally able to drive it again. It's still screaming for a front splitter though

Keep up the good work!

Awesome setup you got there Nick! Looking forward to more updates

Really really like this Puma! Love the wheel/tyre combination

Nice updates Jay! Really looking forward to your zetec turbo build. Is the engine swap going to happen this year?

You should take your Puma to the Nordschleife when it's up and running - Great fun, I went there last year with my Puma! Only went one lap but had an awesome experience.

Been way too long since I've done an update on this! Car is really behaving very well. Not had a problem whatsoever. Still haven't been able to refit the heatshield though. Should be doing this in the coming month or two. Been really busy the past couple of months with gathering parts for an upcomin...

Awesome information detective Sinisa!

Hi Aaron! Welcome back. Followed you're previous build back in the day. Really looking forward to seeing you make this one even better!

361819 Ayup Rob The first one's from Hong Kong and the second one is just clear vinyl which you've probably already got. Brian's already said that he used clear coat but didn't say whether he used an adhesion promoter or not. I'll practice on the spare lens I have when I can actually get to it and ...

What Sinisa said, start with 600 and work your way up. I did mine and used 600 - 800 - 1000 - 2000. After that I gave them a layer of 2K Clear coat.

Sounds like you had fun Stu! Nice work, keep it up

Nice color! Would love to see some photos once it's finished. Is it a single stage paint or two stages (basecoat / clearcoat)?

Top job!

Awesome write up as always! Really liking this Puma! Just makes me want to have a LSD even more

Awesome work once again, Sinisa!

Great update Jay! Was wondering if the Direnza radiator is a straight swap for the standard item.

Nice work Sinisa! Gives me a reminder that I also still have to disassemble my ST150 brake setup and overhaul them.

The car keeps getting better and better! Never knew Compbrake made solid suspension mounts for the Puma - Should transform the car I think.

That looks so wild Jay! Already seen it on Facebook and absolutely loving it!
First sideskirt I find that fits the Puma nicely. Interested in seeing when BYC is planning on selling these!

Still in love with your wheel and tyre setup!

Sadly Eucatparts is down.. Don't know if it will come back. Have found a new site though: https://www.catcar.info/ford/?lang=en&l=bWFya2V0PT1ldXJvfHxjYXRfaWQ9PTExMjE0fHxjYWJicj09R0NDRXx8dGhrPT0zfHxzdD09MzB8fHN0cz09eyIyMCI6IkV1cm9wZSIsIjMwIjoiUHVtYSBDQ0UgMTk5Ny0yMDAxIn18fGFscGhhPT01fHxncm91cD09NT...

Good job! Such a satisficing job. The cleaning afterwards is worse though haha

359240 i think you'll need new knuckles :) to drill bigger holes, is not a problem, to reduce a hole size is a problem. all depends on the size of the bolts They're ~£200 each from ford parts! As far as I've read so far, it's only the 300mm conversion that requires drilling knuckles and not the 280...

Really cool Jay! 2017 is going to be a great your for you then! 300bhp in a stripped out Puma, madness! Currently there's a set of KW variant 3's for sale on Facebook. The guy is asking £450 for it. So might be useful to you? Looking forward to your progress Jay! Looks like it's going to be a really...

Wow Sinisa! Excellent work. And really useful information.
