Really cool! The engine bay looks so discrete not like there is a turbo anywhere haha. Awesome job!

Yeah I made them (with a little help from my mom). Mine cover the whole spring from top to bottom and therefore also protect the coilovers threads from salt, dirt and grime

Well done Barry! Also nice and creative solution on the rear coilover covers. I also did some coilover protection when I fitted mine. Might be useful as inspiration for you (Sorry for the lil' hijack ):

What a minter!

I'm also interested!

Merry Christmas from the Netherlands!

There indeed used to be loads of information. Very limited now..

Yeah you can use Ford Etis. http://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do

It's been a while since I've done an update on here and basically nothing happend in the meanwhile. Car is driving really well and doing everything it does. Only thing I changed the past 2 months is the ECU for a Pumanoob's Racing Puma mapped TAPE ECU. Will be changing the suspension beginning of ne...

Welcome Philip! Looks like a clean example you found! Rust will always be a problem on Puma's, so good to hear you are getting that sorted.

Puma managed to get his fresh MOT today. Really happy with it

It's a coded colour. It's RAL5015 named 'Sky Blue' from the RAL-chart

Got news.. sadly failed the MOT due to some BS. There was a brake balance difference on the rear. Never noticed anything of that, but whatever. Decided to let the garage fix it, but it will be done after the weekend.

Genuinely a bit upset..

Thanks Barry. I'm confident that it will pass with flying colours

Happy to say that everything is painted now and back together. Everything fits as it should and closes as it should. Really happy with how the body lines on the rear bumper came out. Was a bit worried about this considering the new panel that got welded in. But turned out really good! https://i.imgu...

Links does show pictures for me. Alternative websites that do free forum sharing are imgur of Flickr.

Would be great if you share a few photos of it here MrNoisy!

All working again! Thanks Red

Back with another update. Did a lot over the past two weeks. Managed to paint all the inside pieces such as the bonnet and tailgate. Also primed the rest with a filler primer and sanded it back with 1000 grit ready for the blue basecoat. Which will hopefully happen this weekend :) Here are the photo...

You could perhaps use Imgur or Flickr. Imgur works really easy, even better than photobucket if I say so myself.

Hi Sinisa, he MIG'd the spotwelds that I drilled out. So it is welded how it originally was.

Pickup the car from the welder yesterday. He truly didn't lie about it being not a lot of work. He delivered amazing work and everything seems to fit how it should be. Even the floor is near perfect flat, you wouldn't even notice that the floor has ever been dented before. You can't even see that it...

Brought the Puma to the welder yesterday. He said that it isn't a lot of work to get the panel back in, so I hope that it will be finished next week or the week after!

Nice write up Jay. Good to hear that the car performed well!
