Default My FREE 1998 Silver 1.7 Ford Puma

Hi guys, just wanted to say hi and to show you my 1998 Silver 1.7 Puma..

I found her in a driveway behind my uncles house and it had been sat there for almost a year..

I went round and knocked the door and asked what they were doing with her..
After a few coffees the bloke said, if I can get it of his drive in the next few hours before the wife comes home, I can have it... WTF lol

So with that my uncle and I got the keys and log book and pushed her round his house as quick as we could.. Happy Days..

I never wanted a Puma as I didn't like them (sorry).. But after driving this one for a few miles round the back roads, OMFG! What a great little car.... As you can guess, I'm hooked.

The Puma needed a little TLC to get it cleaned up, for a car that has been sat for a year, it came out really good..

What's wrong with me lol.. Almost forgot about these... I was given a set of 16/215 Rs cosworth wheels today for FREE.. Do you think they will look good on the car, and will they just fit straight on?..or will I have to do something first to get them to fit..

You got a set of escort cossie wheels for free??? Nice puma. They are a good little car and they handle mint. Escos wheels do fit.
