Just ordered some bushes from "Problem Solving Bushes" - They look really good from reviews and a few recommendations from the Puma page. Cost me £26.91 - Saves me the extra £50 or so for the powerflex!

Only time will tell mate!

Rear beam removed since last post, drums stripped and rear beam stripped, it's currently with the powdercoaters getting the treatment. Looking forward to receiving it back! I won't be able to do much with it until I buy the polybushes though. Fuel tank has also been removed - wasn't a fun job...

Hello all, it's been a while - I've had a lot on as I've been moving out, settling into new place and the car blew up - lol. Well, it didn't exactly blow up but the top end of the engine is dead for sure. Crank pulley came loose, probably due to me not torquing it up to spec properly. I was at...

Car has been running really well. I've decided to swap back to the original black hoses and tone it down in the engine bay as all of the colours just made it look silly. Going to change the rest of the green hoses back soon. I'll eventually get the rocker cover off and give it a re-paint too...

Sorry I haven't posted any pics recently, been getting carried away driving the car! I do have a massive issue though, fuel consumption. I'm finding that the car is literally GUZZLING fuel! I fuelled up to the half way mark yesterday and after 16 miles of very careful driving I'm already near on...

Update; Car is running now! Everything is pretty much done bar the ABS sensors but enough to get me back on the road, I have plenty of time to get her ready for the MOT due in August so going to just enjoy driving in the meantime. Car is leak free now too! I'm going to Powerflow Southampton...

Manifold arrived! Lovely quality for £130!

Started to put the fluids in, PSF and engine oil are fine and leak free. Unfortunately there is a leak coming from the offside drive shaft oil seal. I think I might have pushed it in too far? (can't get a pic at the moment)

Super Close to being done now. I'll post a pic a bit later on. I tried cranking over the engine yesterday just to see if the starter worked and it doesn't. Makes a loud click and does nothing. I'm almost 100% sure I fitted my faulty starter to the car which came off my other puma so I'm going to...

I cleaned mine then used an autoglym black dye on it afterwards. Wouldn't recommend it, it stains anything that touches it (radiator cap, header tank etc)

I completely agree. What colour are we thinking? I'm between Orange, Purple and Pink..

Hoses are in. Honestly, what do you guys think of them? They are definitely darker than I was expecting.

Got that cleaned up :roll: Really close now. Just a few more bits to fit and buy. Here's how she's looking with the benetton colour scheme 😂

Sorted :wink: I'll do the brake fluid reservoir soon :-)

Very nice mate, just peeped this thread. I'll be following :-)

Bits left to do: Engine Intake manifold gasket (to mount the intake manifold) ✔ Alternator ✔ V belt ✔ Tighten water pump pulley bolts ✔ Dipstick tube ✔ Dipstick ✔ Starter Motor Throttle body ✔ Throttle cable Radiator and condenser mounting Exhaust Manifold Ancillary hoses, Coolant hoses and...

I can see them now when I click on them, thanks mate, will be handy for when I put them in fully 😊 Got a lot done last night. Fitted the clip on the clutch master, got the new j and r driveshafts in, wheel arch liners in with fresh bolts and also made a good start on the wiring!

I can't seem to see any of the pictures mate :( I completely agree now that I look at it! I'll see if I can do something about it, shouldn't be too hard. Maybe bathe it in bleach or something.
