Default Oppps i did it again!

Well im quite sure everyone remeber my little black 1.7 fiesta. if you don't heres a reminder





well it got sold about 4 months back as my best mate was desprate for a car.

Well the story goes............

I have a transit 137ps TDCI that i use for work, it really is a butiful van but due to the weight etc it only really does about 19mpg so i got myself this for 400quid to do little jobs in to save the fuel costs.

















It was a good little runner, did upwards of 60mpg, couldn't pull a skin of a rice pudding and topped out at the lightning speed of 65-70mph.

Then a mate of mine rung up and asked if i wanted to buy this for 300quid











The anwser was oviously yes and my cheap little run about was about to become a cheaper than transit runabout but not as cheap as it was runabout. So i started by breaking down the puma.





























Now i had all the bits to make my hell raising machine











This one was a task though, aboultly everything is puma, Wheels, Rear beam, rear breaks, Car loom, Seats, Carpet, Dash, Clocks, Tank, Fuel lines, Front subfame, Front breaks, All suspention, Engine, Box, Shafts and some of it needed a bit of fidderling with to make it fit.

So i started to put all this together and just went along till i had something that look like a van again.





















Then all was left was to take the rubbish to the dump





And this is what i was left with









Hope you like
