[andyhybrid]

Hi i thought i would post some pics of my puma sprint car that is for this seasons ldmc sprint series
i competed last season in sicky a st170 and enjoyed myself but decided it was time to build something else. Have spent lots of time scraping sealer off and welding and grinding.

Nice, will be keeping an eye on this one. Good luck with the build the shell seems to bee in good condition.
Compare it to any Escort build and one would have to deal with heaps or rot before achieving the stage you are allready in.

shell was worse than first thought n/s chassis leg was 20mm out but now sorted just trying to finish welding so it can go for paint.this is shell as bought

Just looked at the condition when you've bought and you've put some hard work into that................they look great with the extra wide wings etc.

Will be great to see how it all comes together............looking very nice so far.
