Some progress made which I am very happy to post. Seat adjusters and frame were repaired and looks brand new. The ugly bracket in the engine bay was removed and the fiberglass repaired. The tank got a new coat of paint and the carburettors were fixed-up and fitted to the engine. Slowly we're getting there.

Looking good.
When you done with those "magic elves"

please wrap them up carefully, and send them to me, please !
If they can do magic on your Puma, think what they can do on my Fastback.......
Well done, cant wait to see you driving down the road.

Proud to announce some progress. The inside of the bonnet and engine compartment was originally sprayed with a specific type of paint...gray with white and black spots. I finally got the skilled spray painter to assist and herewith some progress photos. This was partially done in IMPI's three hole garage...sorry IMPI...sal nie weer nie
The stripped down car to be able to spray the interior
The grey coat applied
The black spots applied
And finally the white spots before the clear coat is applied
A close up of the end product.
