hi all,

thought I would out a little hi post to all that may remember me, had FRP 142 and a silver 1.7 from new in the past, and I'm considering dipping my toes back in puma waters, so thought I would see whats up for grabs

would ideally like a grey thunder, but budgets really not going to go that far I dont think, so I'm looking at 99 on silver 1.7's basically the same as the one I bought new


must also stop looking at V5 FRP on pistonheads as I'm liable to smash my piggy bank to bits for it but I'm trying to be sensible

anyway Hi all


Cheers Glyn

Stop looking at V5...you'll only be dissapointed when you find it's sold and moving down to Bristol

[Mogsmex]

thanks for the welcome back


I was after a winter hack thats also good fun so I dont have to run my mk2 throuh the salt and kak and the only really obvious choice was yet another puma, but my budget has got pitifully small


but going to look at a 97 moondust silver one tonight, so could be back in the fold today

the oldies are really cheap now, some real bargains out there hope it's a good one

[Sw33t]

There is one in the for sale section silver, has passed 100k hence between 1000-2000, could be worth a look?

[Mogsmex]

the oldies are really cheap now, some real bargains out there hope it's a good one

brought it home tonight, not the tidiest car I own but I have plans and as I paid less for it then I paid for a set of tyres for my FRP I cant grumble

On the whole I'm pretty chuffed with it and watch this space

Cheers Glyn

[R5CPD]

Yay! Thats great news!

[happy-kat]

(did you check it had oil?)

[Mogsmex]

here's PAB as purchased at home looking seriously neglected,

so far required for MOT is 2 new tyres, 2 shocks, new exhaust and tracking

required for keeping me sane is HCV valve (stuck on cold and freezing ) and getting the electric windows to work, and new stereo as the CD players been smashed in

required for making it less of a bucket

getting rid of the "hobo ambiance" of the interior (it's a mess), getting a grill for the lower front, getting rid of the rust on the arch's and boot, getting the dent (spelt footmark) out of the rear qtr

and giving it a good bufty

that all said it was cared for once theres a bill from Pumabuild from last year in the history for best part of £700 including cambelt, the clutch has been done recently and mechanicaly it drives spot on and is very quiet

watch this space as I have already sorted some new wheels for it (well it needed 2 tyres) and just deciding what suspension kit to get (well it needs a couple of shocks )


here we go again............................





Cheers Glyn

lucky the cam belt has been done saves you some pennies for other goodies
