So I finally decided to start a thread for my puma project I acquired from ebay whilst sat in a field not thinking I would be the highest bidder about 6 month ago. It caught my eye as it has had an escort 1.6 rs turbo series 2 conversion.
My plans for this were to put on a racing puma fiberglass kit I got off kizza which for meant to be for my first puma which is now the girlfriends. Then tidy up the car in general in, from the engine bay to the wiring loom and look at adding a few modifications to the engine and coolant system. Then get the car on a dyno and see what kind of figures I achieve. Should be interesting as I have no idea what kind of bhp it has at the moment.
The puma's currently off the road until the end off the summer when hopefully most my jobs will be done including the fiberglass kit being on and sprayed ready for its next mot.
Hoping that by keep updating my thread I'll keep on track with the project and can get some good advice. As I have used the forum many times already, as I must admit I am fairly novice when it comes to working on cars. Although by the end of the project I hope to know my way round the cvh engine and the puma shell fairly well as I want to do as much, myself as possible to keep costs down and as I am eager to learn a bit to
Started and done a bit already so thought would post the pics of when I started and where I'm at now
So car stripped and front wings fitted to see how they sit bumper just resting on at the minute. Few rust patches inside but not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
