Ford Fiesta Giah Giah

So, I did the thing, I brought a daily for the daily, it was an imperial blue Zetec-S the new daily broke. I decided I was going to engine swap it with a ST180 engine. For uhh yeah reliability and economy 👀 for some reason the daily got stripped to a bare shell and I planned to complete restore it. Unfortunately we found LOTS of poor bodges including cereal boxes and filler….. the daily went in the bin. So what did I do I hear you ask? I brought a caged puma converted Fiesta… introducing the car you clicked on Betty. Now I don’t have a lot of history on this car other than when I got it I was told at some point it had a focus 2.0 fitted and has only covers about 10,000 I got it with the puma engine which included the clocks form the said car so the mileage had way more than doubles with no road usage. Shame it don’t still show 10,000 not that it matters…. I immediately pulled the car apart as you do with new purchases down to a shell leaving only the subframe and axles, I panted the cage, routed brake pipes with I bias valve for rear brake adjustment, locked myself out, and began the process of building my first dedicated “ road legal “ Track Car! I’m sure you’ll see the mod list so I’ll keep this brief. The only things left on this that I brought it with are the rear axle bushes, dash and roll cage everything else have been changed in some way. It’s now a proper pocket rocket, definitely not ludicrous and not way near the fastest thing on the road but incredible to drive. How I still have my license is a question I’ll never know the answer too. 240bhp at 900KG that’s 267bhp per tone. I’m not going to say I’ll never sell it but it would take a bloody good offer!
