Frozen Motorsport Ford Puma Cup Car 01

[Flying Scotsman]

Loads of parts have now been purchased and plenty of work to cover during December to be going on with. Regulatory parts starting to filter through during the rest of the month so will see more movement in that area.

So I've managed to get hands on the car now.

First began with stripping out the majority of the interior but still plenty of work remaining for the inside of the car.







I then made a start on the engine bay, stripping it down, giving it a good clean up, a service on the engine with new seals and gaskets and some service items, along with the cooling system being updated with silicon hoses and a new radiator. All the air-con components were removed along with the heater matrix components before putting it back together, so currently it is 95% complete with just a new battery, new ignition leads, new breather filter and some clamps to go.

There has been many a wet day in and around the car.

Amanda did help... she held the heat gun for 20 mins... lol

And the exterior will be staying the same colour, interior and cage will be painted to suit.

It's just the first of 4 proposed cars. There will be other colours.

Interior of the car has had some non essential metal cleared out and the beginning of the cage to be installed.
