Bugger on the wagon is just a scary thought...

Awesome project!! I´ve always wanted a Puma - it´s good to hear that someone is manufacturing them again and the quality of the body seems to be really good. I wonder if they would sell just a body and trim? I´ve got a whole bunch of crazy ideas in my head now.. :D

Shit this project has taken a while but nearing completion as we had lots of snags with everything

I have built one of my Stage 1 transmissions for the puma so the box will be good for 150Kw on the wheels and that will make for good fun with this Rotary turbo in the Puma

I don`t know where the pics has dissipated to but here is a few new ones

we decided not to use the original motor that was bought for the project but a motor that was "Built" for me and I did a turbo upgrade for some more Hp and we went the water Charge cooler way instead of normal inter cooler
The motor was fitted 4 months ago already and battled to start it and when I eventually got it started the vacuum was very low and had oil pushing past o rings so the motor had to be opend again and repaired

Finaly got it back in the Puma and sorted the Microtech wiring out on Sunday and started the Puma for the first time again
The original starter Philip bought got chucked long time ago and with a Bosch bus one that also packed up and I replaced it also on Sunday to start the Rotary
There is a few small snags left on the Puma to sort out and then can start running in the seals so they can seat nicely

Hey Phantom Phondler

Your car looks nice! My puma project is also dragging feet but time just runs away hey? What is your car's number? Most Pumas have a number in the order they have left the factory. Do you know?

Good luck going forward. My build is under projects "My own Puma at last"
