Yep you would be right to say that (sharing parts). Parts are easy to find and pretty affordable. Trim is a bit trickier (not from Fiestas).

hi and welcome to pp!!
don't think you will have much of a problem finding parts,alot may depend on what size engine you want to i would guess!the 1.4 and 1.6 share the fiesta engine,the 1.7 is different as is the FRP.
have a look over recent threads and post and you will find your questions answered.you will be making the right choice with a puma as there is no other car like it n my opinion!!!
i have just ordered a new back box for my puma,an original one and had no probs at my ford dealer!
good luck with your search for a puma,you will no when you have found the right puma for you!!!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D
