    Missed out on showing off this years livery for competition.

    As per usual, NOTHING done to the car. Used daily, now on 60,000 miles !
    Driven to and from events ( up to 5 hours each way ) with 4 race wheels, jack, tools, tent and sleeping bag along with beer and whisky in the back

    After 2011/12's SaveTheRing campaign, took up the other active group "Za Zum Nurburgring" headed by Otto Flimm.

    JA zum Nürburgring!

    So it looked like this ....

    Since we met Matra, the list of changes is rather long. Which is one reason why I haven't sent you the pictures yet. It takes forever to process, sort and upload.. Plus my red beauty is always priority #1 offcourse

    Anyway let's get the last three month's list going

    - Removal of my Puma Cup disc brakes for obvious reasons. Since my Scotland vacation was allready booked I had to fit cheap Chinese stuff on for a good month or so.



    On the way home I picked up a set of used Fiesta ST150 calipers in Birmingham. Then refurbished them and painted 'em.



    Wee Internatiol Puma weekend in between. About 100 cars, folks from 7 countries showed up.



    And plenty of these:


    Before I could continue my project. I tore out my interior and fitted a rear strut brace (not pictured):


    My Black Diamond brake discs, pads and lines arrived. Will fit them this weekend. They are 280mm instead of the old 239mm. The wheels need a 3mm spacer though (don't like but no other way..):

    I've just repainted my 03 Mustang, Sonic Blue.
    I just took her into the shop I work at & sprayed her myself.
    Only had to pay for the materials.
    Metallic Paint is so much fun to spray..NOT.
    She looks good though.
    Had to replace the weather strip awhile ago too.

    As mentioned before I drastically lowered my Puma. On Sunday I took a long test drive and found something incredible! A closed, deserted NATO airfield just 20 minutes away, in Belgium. How cool is it to drive on that!
