I'm Jake- been a bit of a car nut for a while now mainly anything with a Ford badge.... the list of the last cars I have owned is as follows.
Saph 4x4 cos
Golf Vr6 (shhhhh dont tell anyone)
300 bhp S2 (No bull here very well known car in Perf Ford)
Standard ish S2
RS1600i
Anyways.... I am on this website to find out as much as is humanly possible about PUMA's as I am planning a Rear wheel drive conversion on one in the very very near future.
If anyone can help with the sourcing of any info or knows of any shells knocking about - I am told they're out there- and lets be honest it would save me a lot of hassle.
Any help with the dimensions of a standard Puma
Or anything you might think usefull the please point me in the right direction.
kind regards
Jake
PS I have tried searching but to no avail.

that's because to date I don't think a RWD Puma has been built/finished, so you are on your own

I`m intrigued, but no info for you i`m afraid, how would you go about such a feat? cossie lump and running gear?? good luck, methinks you will require some, but let me know how you get on!! that would be awesome

as far as i know i cant remember anyone doing a straight rwd puma.
lots of talk from people about different projects but nothing ever seems to happen
can anyone remember if this one was 4wd or rwd or fwd as i know it had a cosworth lump in it.

Why does that shiny silver Puma with all its go-faster cutting edge spanky bits(the one for sale at PB) cost LESS than my 'ordinary' un-modded black Puma did?
Because I WANT THAT ONE!!

It's because it is not standard, people modify cars to their own taste and on occasions it is difficult to find someone to take you pride and joy off your hands, Jill hasn't done anything to the car since she bought it from Russ 9-10 months ago, I'd buy it but I couldn't get rid of mine and I can't afford two

That's a Cossie-powered rear wheel drive Puma
Not a show/lawn ornament car, it's a racing machine Gotta love the rear mounted intercooler under the functional rear wing

I know the silver one you are thinking of col but i dont think this one is it
There is a rear wheel drive puma in silver which was featured by track and race car, it has a cosworth engine and runs on wrc suspension. The guy who owns it is an engineer and carried out the work himself.

Colin is correct, that is the RWD Cosworth Puma race car.

I suppose I meant in my first post, that a RWD hasn't been built by a non professional so to speak
