looks good jay! looking forward to the finished product!
i dont know if you have got rid of that sound proof glue get but if not white spirit and a sharp chisel works wonders. I did it on mine ages ago and was very happy with the clean panels left behind but its a messy job
good luck speak soon. hopefully at easter my car will be fully resprayed, undersealed and on its new wheels that are ET20 so will have a much wider track than ur recent facebook comment pointed out lol

Spent another afternoon at the unit today and got a few more bits done on the car, will hopefully be getting it back on the road by the end of the month...Fingers crossed anyway!!
Made the job of the day fitting the wishbones and powerflex bushes, took a couple of hours to do but eventually got them in, chipped alot of the orange paint off tho as i had to hit them with a hammer a few times, but i'l paint them again when i get time..
Also fitted the freshly painted rocker cover, strut brace and re fitted the oil catch tank
Then.... More Carbon!! made a neat little cover for the fuse box and fitted the carbon mud flaps, also tidied the centre console up
Thats ir for this update, need to replace the anti roll bar drop links then thats the suspension sorted and ready to go

i used the tow eye that comes with the car, just had the bolt end of it chopped off then used mole grips to tighten it up!
anyway, the car passed its mot yesterday so ive been blasting about in it all weekend..
..few pics
Car is off back to my mates unit on monday evening, having the carbon doorcards fitted, was going to do them myself but just havent got the time at the minute.
Also need to find a good place that does wheel allignment, tacking is a fairway out at the moment, but even so it handles and drives brilliantly, so happy to have it back on the road! makes a change to the boring (but bullit proof) focus diesel ive ben using since october

Got a few more other bits done on the car, had the door cards fitted a while ago now but only just go round to taking pics, i also had to put the radio back in the car, it was doing my head in not having music to listen to!
pic of the door cards - stickers have since been removed
Fitted my Carbon Fibre FRP splitter that zara removed from her bag of nails :wink:
Will be doing my carbon wing mirrors tomorrow, and i also need to re attach the scoop for the air box on the front bumper, fell off the other week :evil:
then its back onto gathering parts for the next stage of the puma's development!
