Great stuff 
It was a leap of faith when I bought it, my heart sank when looking at it and the screwdriver when right through the floor !! posted loads of pictures on here and people suggested (as they would on here) I went for it 
I want to take the roof off mine but being a station wagon with safari roof its quite rare... so I need another I can remove the top. 
As much as I love my Puma the Series is great fun. People wave, point, smile etc.  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

Ok so now I'm working at home and was isolated for 2 weeks as little lad had temperature. I've done some jobs that were not on the list...
New rear window surround, had this ages but just put off by the self tappers not undoing... And they didn't so drill and metal saw later.... Rubbed down, rust proof and repainted. Looks neater. 👍 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Then I had a revamp of my steering wheel as I watched someone else do this on You tube. Turned out well.... Sanded, etched and painted. Even polished the centre and left it chrome as thought it looked good 👍 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

Hi Stacey007 that’s looking very nice and as frustrating as the lockdown is we are all staying safe and progressing with jobs that would of perhaps taken months to work through,

Rosco, I doubt it will win any shows
Its hand painted and the pictures on the web do make it look better than it is, however its tidy, usable and we love it
This lockdown has enabled me to do some jobs I didn't even know were on the list
Thanks for comments though

I've somehow missed this thread, but what a great motor and excellent work!
Love how integral to the family it is, like what I'm finding with my '84 90
