up to date my plan are:
300mm brakes up front
5 stud conversion
raising the ride height
fitting and painting a complete frp body kit
making it wider so it fills the frp arches
mk3 mondeo steel wheels with higher profile tyres
a full 1.8 diesel conversion from a mk4/5 fiesta
panel the back out and limo tint the rear windows
fit a small sound system (I like the boom boom sounds...sorry /> )
that's the current list, I will most likely have more things to add when my brain isn't full of alcohol
and I think some of you know the car that im getting and also know who im getting it from />
laters for now Kieran

on another note I picked up a 2001 ford fiesta 1.8 turbo diesel this evening and because I have the most un reliable camera in the word I don't have any pics of it right now but with any look I should have some tomorrow.

and now for the looking sorry for itself fiesta
and finally the progress made today
the petrol/puma filler neck
the diesel/fiesta filler neck.
I thought I may of been able to just swap over the pipes but once I removed them a saw it wouldn't be possible
so I decided to do some cutting and bodging using a section of truck hose and a couple of jubilee clips.
the new collaboration.
I didn't take any pictures of the filler neck completed and in place do ask me why lol. I need to change a few things and finish off a hand full of others and it should be ready for its mot in a couple of weeks.
cheers Kieran

and more good news it that she will be on the road on the 1st of jan. ive decided to take the mondingo off the road for a little while to put it through a minor rebuild (more to come on the mondingo thread)
list of things that need to get her on the road by the first:
swap over the windscreen from my other puma to this puma
swap over the 240 brakes
put longer studs into the hubs to allow for spacers (a little fix until I manage to do the suspension properly)
get it mot'd (no problems there )
put the rest of the frp kit on
