Hi, I'm curently running a projekt tread over on puma people, but I thought I might get one on here to so here goes
this is currently just some coppy paste, as I'm at work stil
So, I finaly got around to geting a Puma again now I can finaly do all the tings I wanted to with the last one, but couldn't afford.
Car is a Jewel green 98 1.7 done 217.000 KM kost me 12.400 Nok, aprox £1300. Ok shape, little rust, good engien, and good running gear. all the shox are busted, clutch is on its last tread, front lights are faded, and the rear lights hawe smal craks, so they leak. front right wing has one medium dent, and some rust at the bottom. and a smal dent in the profile of the tailgate spoiler.
the people who had it before had tryed to fix som rust in the wheel arches, not only had they done a piss pour job, but they had also used the wrong color to paint it after, not only the wrong shade of green, but they had used blue looked like shit. luckaly they were idiots, so it was easy to wash off again
my plan is to build an FRP replica as close to the original as possible, but improwe where possible. Ie. Ice, weight reduction, power if possible.
