Mk4 Fiesta that i once owned

Gents, this was my first car that I bought brand new as soon as I passed my driving test, I modified it completely as you can see from pics. I changed the engine to the Puma 1.7 inc upgrading the gearbox, Piper manifold, sport cat and exhaust, KW coilovers. All handles were de-locked and de-handled, entry to car was via buttons under front mirrors (TVR style). Any way not gonna bore you, I get depressed when I see these pics coz I'd spent thousands and sold it for peanuts weep weep.

Looks like you spent alot of money on it, looks good! What do the 1.7 puma lumps go like? Any good?

Ben - please dont compliment the car, it makes me cry, sometimes I wish I never sold it, the amount of time, effort and money I spent on this car it makes me feel ashamed, but at the same time it was very fun to work on.

Jam rs - The Puma 1.7 made the car shift! The mk4 Fiesta's chassis is apparently lighter than the Puma, so with a 1.7 the car did move really quick, people told me that I will get loads of wheel spin and that I might need to consider putting a Racing Puma LSD gearbox (very rare and EXPENSIVE), fortunately I didn't have to, the car never produced major wheel spin unless I deliberately floored it hard.
Just so you know it was Alan at Puma Build that did the conversion but I sourced the engine myself through Ebay.
