would like to get peoples veiws on this one! frp 292 has obviously been modified in the past, has a stainless steel manifold, deff had a front strut brace and cone filter (i know this due to a certain screw being missing)

i have a lot of work ahead of me as it is! but would like opinions as im torn between preservation and creating a beutifuly savage beast!

Hmmm its a tough one. With a few tweaks it could be a beast as you say, but I would always feel bad knowing I'd chopped up a car of limited number.

For me it's preserve (and get another Puma and go to town on that :wink: )

I like to modify :twisted: :twisted: but preserve most of original look and class... hence why my Nitrous install is very hidden, apart from the bottle in the boot, which has also had things done to it to blend in better with the rest of the trim...

Also my audio work use all the original speaker locations now..so nothing obviously done until you switch on some Deadmau5 :mrgreen:

I like the engine bay looking fairly standard to be honest.... many owners are not using the original exhaust anymore and have fitted a stainless version..

Regards

Chris
