Default Hi! Im new.
Not sure whether this is right section.

Hi my names Harry and im 16 - and this is gonna be my first road car. Me and my dad did build a Mini but everytime we went out in it it broke down. So i bought a ford instead.

I have recently (well in july lol) bought this Puma Engined Ka.
It had a magazine feature in Performance Ford back in 2003.
Im just in the middle of refreshing it and making it my own!

Here is a couple of before and after pics.

Before:












After:




^Now got rear discs fitted^ (a couple of days after i took this pic) and a set of ap coilovers.


^Escort Cossie Brakes^

Will get more pics later.

Does anybody know anthing about this car as the bloke i bought it off was a bit of a bullsh*ter who told me he built it for his daughter and i later found out it was built five years earlyer and he just bought it for his daughter!

Let me know what you think good or bad


Cheers,
Harry

Welcome to the mad house H,

Thats a nice 1st car btw and deffo looks 100% better, but those modifications are going to cripple your insurance premiums.

Nice ka you have there. Glad to see you've binned the m3 mirrors but I would ditch the RS & VVTi badges aswell.
