    Bundalene's Puma project

    Well here we go again ........

    I need another project.


    Today we bought an almost new Puma. I would say it travelled from the dealer, to the ARB shop and then had a prang.

    Did this vehicle belong to someone on the Forum????

    First registered in Late June 2010, paint code 907, trim T (what ever that means? )

    Here are some pics.


    The vehicle had a hard front left side hit and twisted the chassis.











    This is a 7 seater, all leather seats in excellent condition. I doubt the rear or 3rd row seats have ever been used.










    We put the Puma on the hoist and all seems OK. We started to remove a few bits.









    This project will not have the same urgency as the previous build 12 months ago, but we will add updates.

    The plan is to remove the damaged front end, then lift off the entire shell, remove the engine, gearbox and all off the chassis. Take the chassis to have it straightened and then rebuild the vehicle.

    Well the cat's out of the bag so to speak

    Can't wait for the posts to come.

    Erich watch the gearbox oil as it's not an off-the-shelf product. It is an available Caltex synthetic oil though.

    Ok, so I just brought the class level right down.....

    Erich, as projects go, that's a biggie. I'm sure there'll be many following this thread with great interest.

    Good to see you keeping busy Erich. Maybe I'll need to increase my internet speed to download your progress photos on this project. I'll come and have a look next time I'm up your way.
    Good luck with it.
    cheers
