My story begins a year ago when i traded in my fiesta for my 1999 puma 1.7 in melina blue. When i purchased it, it was perfect. Slight bit of rust on the arches and a couple scratches. Dont have a pic from when i purchased her but we all know what they look like so.....any hoo
I havent been to busy in terms of modifying but i have personalised it a bit. The past year has been more about replacing damaged worn parts brakes tyres etc.
The first thing i did what fit a dvd player and a pre amped sub
It pretty much remained like that for most of last year and then begining of this year when i started to make plans for it......... this happened
Thought long and hard about scrapping her but just couldnt part with it. So New wishbone, steering arm, hub wheel and wing later she went from this
To this in a few days
I owe a lot to this site and a few members for getting it back on the road
The car wasnt right for a long time and i hated it after the accident but kept on going. It just lost its a ppeal and didnt drive right
About 3 weeks ago i got the front lowered 40mm allong with new shocks and top mounts and today i got the back done same 40mm drop. Here she is now
In between the weeks of having the suspension done i decided to do something about the interior so i changed all the silver bits of trim and white dials and swapped them for black ones from a fiesta and an escort
Next thing is spraying the wheels black. I sprayed an old prop i had from the accident black and put it on yesterday and i loved it so will be doing all 4 in the next weeks or months. Also need to get round to changing the side repeaters to black as i think it will make the wheels look even better.
Im after a moody/ aggressive street racer look on a budget lol and feel the black on blue will give me that
Im after a new backbox too. Im looking at 4.5" slashed inward rolled oval ones but want it more for looks than sound. But a little rumble would be nice. Some 20.5 mm spacers on the back and that will do me for cosmetics. Windscreen has a massive crack all the way accross but am waiting for insurance renewal to get that done as the cheapest i can get it done is £150.
Thats my story and Thats my car
