Hey guys and gals!
After several months of lockdown research, finally got myself my own little project puma!

Actually bought her off an ad on this forum. The previous owner has a few mods on her already as follows:
- Direnza 4-2-1 exhaust manifold mated to Milltek center pipe and backbox
- AP coilovers
- Full Powerflex black edition bush kit
- Front wishbones, drop links, CV boots, track rod ends
- Pre-facelift rear axle with 30mm axles spacers
- Wheel bearings all round
- OMP lower strut brace
- Fiesta ST150 front brake calipers, discs, and pads
- Goodridge braided brake hoses all round
- Aftermarket fuel tank with uprated APS fuel pump (fuel gauge reads the wrong way as it's a pre-facelift pump)
- Millennium Recaro seats
I've never had a project car before, done targa rallying etc (bar a couple of rally track days where I caught the bug!) so there'll be a lot of learning along the way. Set myself a deadline of 1yr to get her all set up and rallying, probably do some auto tests with her first to practice racing against a clock and transition to targa after. But until then, I have a loooong list of (mostly minor) maintenance niggles to sort through... :lol:
All good fun and massively looking forward to getting stuck in!
