Hello there and let me say thanks already for a great community!
I've been lurking for a short while and picking up useful info and I've finally found my new car.
It's a 2001 X plate 1.7 in green with the lux pack 62k on the clock for what I think is a very reasonable £2k, the car appears to be in great condition the paint is great with no rust on the rear arches full history and even all 3 keys.
Being a black country lad I think my first port of call will be Pumabuild for a cambelt service and to have a full set of powerflex bushes more for piece of mind than anything.
And then just a couple of minor jobs 4 new matching tyres the one's on there are ok fronts are avons and rears are firestone but I'd prefer 4 matching (any sugestions? I was thinking Pirelli or Continental's probably as they were probably on there originally?)
Parcel shelf mod, 4 wheel laser alignment, source 2 grommets for the door card handle screws as they are missing (anyone know a part number?) and replace the steering wheel (it's the only bad point I picked up on the car it looks like someone has cleaned the wheel at some point and got the leather bits wet or something as they seem to have gone almost lumpy?) anyway found a wheel for about £50 NOS so I can live with that.
And that's about it really, I'm finally back with my love of fords after a few years away on the Audi scene with an old school 300bhp S2 (Brute power and 4wheel drive just can't make up for handling!!)
Looking forward to settling in and becoming part of the Puma scene
