Hi Lee
There's a bit of adjustment on the bumper bracket, but a suttle bit of bending of the wing may also be required:

Ah, right. Definitely a case of removing and re-fitting for the best job then! I noticed mine is sitting low at the front edge, sort of tilted. I'll add that to the absurdly long 'to do' list!! :lol:

 

[The Arch Bishop]

Not a great deal done today other than some mooching around with some plastic renovator and polishing the manky headlights.

YOG came over for a cuppa and a chat about what I need to do for the rust prevention so I have a shopping list for that.

I also took some pictures and had a play with Photoshop afterwards!

A second-hand drivers side headlight turned up yesterday bought from another forum user.

My existing light had broken on one of the lugs and the lens was in poor condition. The new one is far better!

Now Jegger is up to a decent standard, it was also time to start spreading the word!

 

[The Arch Bishop]

With the one headlight replaced, my wife pointed out that Jegger now looked like he had a cataract. So charged with finding a decent replacement for the nearside light, I hit up ebay. Managed to find a pretty good one that arrived swiftly. Fitted last night. It's amazing how the headlights make such a difference to the look of the car. My old ones really were very cloudy!

Quick picture;

Nice, I'm thinking he deserves some nice 3D number plates velcro'd on, with a purple border and a Puma logo on them, like Crystal Pumas or errmm mine :lol:

 

[The Arch Bishop]

Well..... I suppose it'd suit the colour. Metallic mauve really is the campest of the Puma colours... :lol:

 

[quest63]

I like it, havent seen it in the flesh but its subtle and classy imo :thumbs:

 

[The Arch Bishop]

Yeah, subtle, classy... and a bit camp. On the plus side, you don't see many about. Probably because it's a bit camp.

Strap a real pie to the bonnet, man it up a bit :grin:

 

[The Arch Bishop]

Do you know what? I had a pie tonight as it happens. It was a Pukka pie made for home consumption. It was pretty good for taste but not a lot of real meaty chunks in it.

It wouldn't pass Scubasteve's seal of approval for certain. 'U want 2 meat?' Steve would ask. This pie would reply 'Not really'.

May have to rename this thread the '£650 Puma and the quest for the ultimate beast of a pie'.

looks mint mate! :grin:

Higgidy pies and Pie Minister pies are amazing. Also Charlie Bigham pies, but they're a bit small.

Cheers Al! It's getting there slowly. This was only meant to be a hack about for six months of rusty fun... I've gotten seriously carried away with it to be honest!

Higgidy pies and Pie Minister pies are amazing. Also Charlie Bigham pies, but they're a bit small.

Ooo... the higgidy pies are incredible but only really for one. I used to wait for the wife to go away for the weekend before cracking out one of those beauties (insert double entendre here)!

 

[The Arch Bishop]

MOT time.... shudder......

 

[quest63]

It'll sail through on its shinyness alone :grin:

 

[The Arch Bishop]

Should have cleaned it then really! Fingers crossed!
