Hi all, my name is Alex (fatttty) and I am the proud owner of a Ford Racing Puma No. 401 of 500.

Ford Racing Puma (FRP) #401 of 500
The FRP was a special edition model of the popular Ford Puma that was designed developed and built by Ford Racing in Borham, originally 1000 were meant to be made but only 500 ever made it off the production line. They feature the Zetec 1.7 VVT engine with different cam shafts, engine managment, improved air intake system and a full racing exhaust with 4-2-1 manufold and 100 cell sports cat (from standard) producing 157BHP.
Externally they have wider alloy front wings, extended steel rear arches, wider front nad rear bumpers and all came in Ford Racing Imperial blue paint. They all came with 17" wheels, 295mm front brakes with alcon racing 4 pot calipers up front.
Inside they had Sparco Ford Racing seats with blue alcantara trim, matching door cards and steering wheel.
As many of you know I previously owned a Lupo GTI which was sold earlier this year. I had originally wanted one of these even before I purchased the Lupo, at the time they were just out of my budget so I had the lupo. My itch for one of these cars didnt go away so as I grew tired of the lupo the hunt was on for a good FRP.
I found this one in Birmingham so very local to me, it had been fully repainted inside and out, all panels correctly alligned and lots of new parts such as hubs, barings, bushes and powdercoated rear beam and front wishbones.
Here it is when I first got her-
My plans are to fully strip the underside, refurbish and replace any parts which require it before fully undersealing the car and painting.
I've owned the car for 5 months and covered just 50 miles. Sad I know, but it will be worth the wait when it is done.
