This is my winter fix up project (constrained budget) and summer play thing. A late 2000 (post update) with aircon and quickclear screen.
I'm sure I made pretty much every newbie mistake. The engine is very good for 100k. Paint is pretty good. Arches better than all the others I've seen.
What else is good
Oil clean (could have just been done I know)
Wheels very tidy for 14 years old
Not too rattly
Heated windscreen works!
Generally clean
What's not so good
Corrosion starting on underside
Binding front brake - fixed
Front wishbone bushes shot
Roll bar links dead
Rear bushes probably shot
Centre brake light not working
Front tyres very marginal (I was expecting to change tyres on anything I got)
Tiny oil leak (I think rocker gasket)
Cabin filter looks original
Air filter grubby
RH bumper not aligned with wing
RH door trim loose
Crack in RH headlamp outer lens
Heater stuck on hot (Ford HCV on the way)
Aircon active but not getting cold (well probably, given the heater issue)
Steering wheel cover manky
So I have a list of pretty standard Puma issues. I'm taking the quick wins as I can and tackling the big jobs as time allows.
