Pippa Puma Project

[quest63]

Rob you could put a little Magnum grey Puma logo on the bottom of your number plates to just finish them off :thumbs:

Gave Pippa a clean today, getting some mad reflections:

Had another go at the exhaust:

Tried to do something about this scratched up keyhole:

Slightly better keyhole:

Tomorrow, I need to put my FRP interior back in (only the driver's seat in at the moment) as I took it all out in order to take a (almost) complete leather interior up to Mac.

Looks fantastic Rob! Jegger looks like a dirty old man in a raincoat at the moment. :-(

Also, there's nothing like a nice shiny buffed keyhole...

Ignition barrel detailing - now I've seen it all!

Seriously though, kudos. I'd never have the patience to do that.

 

[evilrob]

Cheers guys!

Neil - that's not the ignition barrel, it's the driver's side door lock. I might have a go at the ignition barrel now you mention it, though! :-D

Had a go at making the rear window rubbers a bit more presentable today:

Masked up:

Wiped down with IPA to make sure the surface is super clean:

Boshed on some of this stuff, recommended to me by Ian (pumaracing62):

Bit better (and I missed a bit

):

Other side's a bit more consistent:

Could probably do with another coat or two, really.

 

[evilrob]

Almost forgot - gave the wheels a clean and polish too:

Bilberry'd up:

Poorboys wheel sealant:

Slightly more respectable wheel (though they all need refurbing and new centre caps really, and I'm missing about three bolt covers, hoping to have this sorted for Ford Fair - note the kickass metal dust caps):

Random photo taken at petrol station just because:

[Flying Scotsman]

It's the detail that's makes it all the more appealing..

Obligatory new scratch appeared in the week before a show. Good one:

:crazy:

 

[Ginger Tom]

FFS, you like a good scratch before a show don't ya?

 

[evilrob]

It's pretty much standard issue to get a new horrible scratch just before a show for the past few shows!

 

[Modena]

Eww, nasty scratch. Can you make it disappear by polishing?
Beautiful Puma though!! :grin:

 

[evilrob]

Eww, nasty scratch. Can you make it disappear by polishing?

Unfortunately not, it goes right through the clear coat and paint down to metal. Will need specialist attention; T-Cut and a touch up pen isn't going to cut it for this one!

Beautiful Puma though!! :grin:

Thank you! It certainly used to be before people kept vandalising it.

Corr, Pippa's jinxed at the moment! Sorry to see yet more damage inflicted by mindless *insert expletive*.

I had an MR2 that was like that. Every time it got dolled up, someone would shunt into it. My second MR2, every time it got dolled up, my wife would shunt it into something. :roll:
