Help
Just joined, bought my first Puma last week but been waiting for my validation email on here.
I'm over the road on the other PP, so I'll copy my thread opener from there:
Hi.
I'm Steve, Manchester based, just bought a Moondust Thunder.
Usual Thunder spec:
Leather,
AC,
Heated screen,
Rusty arches...
Total impulse buy, but that's what happens when looking on Autotrader while having a crap.
Was looking for a stablemate for my Capri (hence the username) which I hope to now start restoring after it sitting for 10 years feeling sorry for itself, while I've been playing with Volvo T5s.
Currently have 10 Volvos on the fleet (Don't ask. I'm ill) ranging from poverty spec 100bhp all the way up to a fire breathing 300-odd T5, but having a major clear out at the moment.
So, back to the Puma.
Only had it for 10 hours and already done nearly 300 miles in it, just bobbing around. Love it!
Plans?
After doing a bit of digging on here, here's the list I've got so far:
Sort the arches,
Gentle hit with the lowering stick,
Mondeo Si/Escort GTi 5-spokes, hopefully the 7j set. Rare though I think.
Decent tyres, always liked Toyo Proxes. Think they'd work well.
FRP style exhaust/manifold if the budget stretches.
ST170/mondeo front brake conversion.
Mondeo throttle body.
Remove the torque limiter.
Then just generally have a laugh in it.
May get it on a track, but time will tell.
Everyone loves pics:
Cheers,
Steve :wink:
I'll copy my project thread over as well, not that there's much to show yet.
