Hello everyone!
I picked up my second puma last month. It's a 2001 1.7 with 70K on the clock, it had no tax or MOT and had been sat dying for a few months. The air con isn't working, rust had started underneath the sill protectors, the interior light doesn't come on when you open the doors, there was the odd bit of plastic trim missing from the interior, a couple of bulbs were out and the fuse for the dash light was dead, but apart from that it's brilliant! An hours worth of work later and it passed it's mot with no advisories!
The sills had only just started to bubble so a bit of grinding and re-painting and they're sorted (I'll be velcroing the replacements down!), the air con is probably going to wait until spring time now and I'll look at the interior light situation at some point in the next few weeks!
Anyway, as winter is rapidly approaching it's getting it needs to get it's winter coat on!
It's getting undersealed next month (there's no rust underneath!) and winter tyres fitted at the end of this month. I'm going to buy a set of steelies to stop my alloys being eaten away by the salt and this is where my question is! I'm looking at Vredestein Snowtrac 3 in 175/70R13 but was wondering if the 13 inch steelies will actually fit or are they too small!? All brakes and suspension components are standard for now.
If not will 14's?
Thanks for reading
Darren!
