Always good to see parts going back on. Good for morale when a project has taken time or has been fighting back. Good luck with the house move.

Looks fantastic ! I would put some cure rust on the petrol tank until such time as it could come off for a full refurbishment. Great work 😊

Looking excellent underneath, the problem is putting parts that don’t look as good back on, it’s a chase

Fair play mike you've got some patience and it's all paid off you have probably saved yourself thousands doing all that yourself so when it's all done enjoy it well done mike.

13 4 24, Alarming level of rust including Roof Panel if l remember correctly - or was that a result of a windscrean replacement ? Was the tow-bar for boating in & out of sea water including the Puma ? (Cats don't like water !) If that amount of rust is typical l could be in trouble ! Paint the Battery Strap while you're at it. I can't buy sump plug washers nowadays- everywhere wants to include sump plug too. Do you know ? Is the engine oil spec' same as given in the 25 or so years old Owner's Handbook ? Wondering if a later spec' oil is now available & would be an improvement ? Where are you moving to - will there be a bigger garage ? Norfolk roads now getting busy too ! Keep up the restoration momentum, You 're making your own luck - Best Wishes.

Hi Mate, yes the rust was taking a hold but I got to it just in time, Its been used as a daily car all its life in all weathers so I think its to be expected, the roof does have a couple of small bits of rust in the windscreen corners from stone chips I think, I did treat and paint these when the puma was last on the channel before I found all the sill rust, they should be ok now hopefully, I did use to tow a jet ski with the Puma but the car never went near the water, I've towed box trailers and motorbike trailers with it too, it makes the car very versatile, you can buy sump plug washers online as far as I know as long as you know the size. I still put the same oil in my puma 5w30, it should still be fine assuming your engine has been looked after and isn't worn, we are moving to Chelmsford area, there is a double garage at present with the scope to make it ALOT bigger hopefully, I love visiting my dad in Norfolk, the roads are SO much nicer than London ! All the best MEC

It's a good outcome for a daily ? All I will add is I would coat all the underside and new paint with bit hambler dynax c wax, beauty is it's clear so you will still see the colour paint but it will be better protected
@mec-tec

Hi ! Yep it will be my daily again, hopefully it will keep the rust at bay, thanks for the info on the wax, i have heard of that stuff before but never used it so will have a look ! Cheers ! 👍👍👍

Why not save some scrap metal and junk the spare wheel altogether? Its hugely heavy and can be replaced with a mini tyre compressor and tyre sealant kit as modern cars have. 99% of the time, Puma jacking points won't support the stress from the crappy original scissor jack anyway. I did this a few yars back on my Puma Black and its served me well ever since.

Hi, i have to be honest, i hate inflation kits, id much rather have a proper spare that can get u out of trouble no matter whats happened to the tire on the car, ive never had a problem with the original jack, personal choice i guess 👍

​@@mec-tecmaybe so. But if you have a flat tyre and do manage to get the wheel changed, then discover your lovely aftermarket wide wheels won't fit in skinny spare tyre's under boot tray, you'll have a bit of a problem. Many Puma drivers also love the Puma's performance and use it as a fun driver's car. That can be radically improved by losing excess weight (removing spare and jack, back seats and rear trim, moving the battery behind the passenger seat, etc). But if you're using yours as a tow truck, I guess performance or how it drives isn't a priority! 😊
