My first Puma was in a catfight.

Just bought my first Puma, and it's a beauty, or it will be after I fix her up

She's been in a little accident.

Does anybody know any good breaker yards close to Folkstone? Parts are a lot cheaper in the UK compared to Belgium. Or any good shops for new body parts?

Thanks

Bart

That thing has some better panel fitment than ex factory production line trucks!

For body panels, try Foleys, Equicar and Martin at autocraft4x4_ midland (search for him on ebay)

Apart from the bonnet, the rest of the panels should be the same as late Td5... as long as your bulkhead isn't mullered, you should be OK.

Without tax! Reckon Land Rover parts department will see more of you over the next six months or so than your own family!

Good luck with the project, I'm sure you're in the right place for help and assistance on here!
I'm sure Steve will agree once finished a decent wheel and tyre combination will set it off nicely!

If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Bart,

Awesome project.

Don't know if I can be of any help but I regularly do the Hull-Rotterdam crossing, and sometimes Dover-Dunkirk so if you ever have anything that needs bringing across just drop me a line and I will let you know if I am passing...... will cost you a cup of tea and a bacon sarnie though

Check out this months Land Rover Owner for an narticle on a similar project. Perhaps the guy in the article might be able to pass on some useful advice? Try contacting him through LRO.

Good luck and please post plenty of posts & pics of your efforts. I'm sure you'll succeed.
