German 1998 Puma 1.7 Fast Road and Track Build

[Dr.Prütteklütt]

Hello Guys.

Long Story Short.
I bought a 1998 Puma 1.7 in January, damaged but all around in a good Condition. The Owner tried to Pull the Side out and drilled some Holes in it, looked like it was in a Warzone haha. It got a New Timing Belt and Service just 1400km befor the little Crash. I got a big Map with all the Documents and Invoices from the last Years with it.
My Plan is to have a Fun Road Racer and do do some Public driving Sessions on the Nürburgring wich is 80km away from me and i am there almost every Weekend.
I have 2014 Fiesta MK7 ST wich is not registered for the Road that i trailer with my Mondeo 3 to do Trackdays and so on.
As the Substance of the Car was good i transported the Car to a Friend of mine wich is 280km away, he changed the Outer damaged Skin to one from a empty Shell wich i cutted out and took wich me.
It got it painted there too and after that when the Car was Home again the Parts changing could begin. I wanted to Change the Most Parts to have them Fresh and Save, a few where still good but its also nice to learn the Car more for the Future. And also the Man from the TÜV wich is needed to get it registered again likes to see New Parts lol
So i am Building it when i have spare time over the Last few Month.
At the Moment i am changing the Suspension out and got a Front Left one finished today till it startet to Rain.
Here are a Few Pictures:

Nice job!
I'm so jealous you live so close to the Nurburgring. I've not been for a long time. If I was that close I'd be there every week too

So, Suspension Change is done.
Need to Make the Final High Adjustment for the TÜV. They put the Car Diagonal on thick Bricks to compress the Suspension and check if there is nothing rubbing while Steering and so on, so i will do the exact same at Home to make sure its okay. I got plenty of Threat on the Struts to adjust it in both Directions

Car is now registered since Monday and got fresh TÜV for 2 Years. Suspension, Wheels and Brake Lines are Legal now too. Its a SU-PU 1700 now
I already did a few Laps on the Ring yesterday. Today i did a cold Air feed to the Filter Box and got the Rear Wiper deleted.
Car runs great. I got some Strut Braces wich i will paint Blue the next Weeks and i ordered some fresh Custom made Floor Mats in Black Blue.
A Oil cooler will be put on the car later on too, maybe in Winter.
For the Moment i will be just driving it and make little Modifications.
