Eric,
As promised a long time ago , I've finally got round to doing a little update about Eric, my puma.
The one thing I have realised, is that I'm incredibly crap at remembering to take photos. So, there's a lack of photos right now to cover the progress, although as it's all standard stuff so far, its nothing you haven't seen a hundred times before!
So here's how he looks now:
He's finally got through his mot needing just:
4 x new shocks
4 x new Top mounts
-35mm springs
New rear beam bushes
New front wishbones
New droplinks
New front flexis
New front brake pipes
New exhaust.
New drivers heated wing mirror
OK.... some of that wasn't actually needed for the MOT but I figured whilst I'm doing it, I may as well cover off the usual suspects!
Also treated the leather to a scuff kit from Gliptone - Very impressed to be honest. Sadly one of those jobs where I forgot to take the before and after pictures, but the leather now looks quite reasonable instead of "uhhhh!"
Still got a list of stuff to do:
1) Swap the wheels over for some old skool TSW Evo's - Need to get some spigot rings and to find a bloody spanner for the centre cap nut. Possibly check the wheel nuts fit too. - Done! Need a something better than oil filter pliers though!
2) Find the damn awful vibration. It may be the wheels, but it may also be driveshafts. -It was the driveshafts!
3) Find an aerial and add some MP3ness to the standard headunit.
4) Do something with the rear view mirror - it offends me! it just looks so cheap and nasty
I suppose I should add "sort out the bodywork" as a number 5, but as that's pretty much every puma owners long term objective isn't it? :lol:
