Hello guys, how's it going?
Bought my puma 19 months ago now and it's safe to say I'm in love! It's 1.7 registered spring 2000 in moon dust silver. When I first got it had some serious symptoms so from the off I decided to strip down the engine and found some lovely surprises. Chipped valves, dinted pistons and rings were shot! So proceeded to build her back up with new parts all standard, now she's purring :grin:
So time to start on the cosmetics...
First thing switched out was the interior, went for thunder as the millenniums are hard to come by. Anyway, next will be replacement panels, I unfortunatley was victim to a parked hit n run which left a lovely gaping hole in my offside door right under my mirror :x so a new one is in order. Plus a small dent in my bootlid to sort which was there when I purchased it.
Yep you guessed it..the dreaded yet expected rear arches, at first I was quite happy to let her age gracefully but there will come a day when they will probably need replacing I'm thinking the lack of rear arch liners hasn't helped the problem :?
I've already replaced the front door speakers and interior bulbs for leds, fitted some daytime running lights within the front bumper spaces and also led sidelights. Will be shopping for new exhaust and possibly a boot lip, any suggestions on exhaust set up?
Glad to be part of club.
