Reluctantly decided to break my Puma after the last straw.
If you caught up with my project thread, I threw a lot (far too much) money at the Puma only to find a running issue.
I bought a low mileage engine and replace the water pump, thermostat housing, thermostat, genuine cambelt & tensioners, clutch, clutch slave cylinder & plugs all from new. Starts and runs like a dream now, but I went to finish the job to find that there was a sheared part that is essential for the coolant pipes.
Also, the lying shit who sold it to me said that it hadn't had an accident (bonnet was misaligned and catching), but I found this on the weekend:

He's also still not sent the logbook off - 7 months later. All in all, I've had enough and I'm not convinced it would pass the MOT that's due next month.
As a result, I'm going to split the car for parts - it just doesn't feel like she wants 'rescuing' now, so I'd rather see other Pumas be treated and renewed. Car is on 86k, but the replacement engine looked ridiculously clean.
I'm selling the majority of the parts (especially new ones) at around half of the price I paid for them, so as much as we all like a bargain, I'm trying to be pretty fair with the pricing.
First up, eye mount coilovers. These are boxed with the manuals (little dirty) and the spanner. They're listed as SportKa fitment, but this is only due to the mountings for the brake pipes; they fit exactly the same (essentially the same car).
The adjustment that's on it now was seriously dropped when I fitted them, so if you want to go for some massive lowering then I'm quite sure that the bottom of the threat would nearly be sills on the floor (couldn't fit trolly jack under with it as it is now).

UPDATED LIST
Will start shifting things on ebay soon, but for now here's a bigger list with updated prices. Click pic links for photos.
I've added postage prices, can get things a bit cheaper for lighter items, but if there's more than one thing in a package then it will cost a little more. Prices are estimates, ask for multiple items as it'll probably be a flat cost between £7-10
