Hello!
So I bought the Puma a few months ago and this is how it looked when I got it:
The interios was fine but the bodywork was worse. It had rust in the rear arches and I think 2 or 3 different kind of blue.
The first thing I did was buying new rims which had recently been on a focus. The rims' condition wasn't that good so I got it cheap for about 120€ (which included tires, with 2 of them was still useable). My dad who works as a resprayer and I painted them just a few days after I bought them.
After that we decided to start respraying the sides as those were the parts which was in the worse condition with rust and 2 or 3 different kind of blues. We also went with some "Puma edition, st-stripes" on the sides. They kind of had to be bigger at the back so it wouldn't look weird with the shape of the puma. But I think it turned out great.
After putting the blue paint on and polishing it to get ready for Euro Ford Nordic 2014 it looked something like this:
Here it is standing next to my dad's Ford Escort 1996 cabriolet xr3i:
We then painted the front of the Puma black as I thought it would look cool and it's also quite practical when the front is getting in bad condition, all you have to do is spray with some matte black spray.
So that's the story of my Puma so far! Still got a lot of work to respray the rest of the car but I think I'm a good way on the road.
Things left to do:
• Respray done
• Lowering kit
• Maybe get a new exhaust. (Not in best condition, leaked a few weeks ago but fixed, still could need a new one)
I would also love to get the seats from the ford racing puma, but will probably never get it.
Update (5/8 -15)
• Front Splitter
• Rear Spoiler
• Light tuning (125 -> 140+)
• New rear lights
I hope you have enjoyed the story so far! Feel free to write your opinions!
