Hi,
I have seen that EPS panels have just sent out some PR about doing a licence deal for Ford body panels.
This is good and bad news.
The good news is that ESP will now have support from Ford technically so more products could be launched, with better quality and with regularity of supply, hopefully for Puma's too.
The bad news that the licensing deal has to be paid for in some way so panel prices will rise.
Perhaps Ford have cracked onto the fact that there is 'gold in them there classic car hills' and may look to licence /remanufacture other parts.
Just look at the BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, JLR, Aston Martin, Ferrari classic car departments, they make serious money in parts and factory restoration services.
Unfortunately whilst this happens more Puma's will be scrapped due to terminal rust problems making them beyond economical repair. Hang in there everyone.
Kind regards Ian
