These are just a Fiesta coupe, but look pretty nice IMHO, and are apparently quite fun to drive

Ford Pumas have a strong tendency to rot around the rear wheelarches, and when it gets so bad they need repairing, no panel is available. However, when angled correctly, the front wing off a Peugeot 206 is apparently the same shape and size, and as a result, is a near perfect fit. How this was found out, I’ll never know...

I’ve seen a few back in Portugal and every time I see one I can’t help but think how awesome they are as rally cars.

Must have been one very inventive panel guy who came up with that.

The Puma was one of my favorite cars to drive on Gran Turismo back in the day.

Got to be resourceful when you own a rare-ish 90's car..

That’s pretty freaking clever! I’d like to buy the person who thought of that a drink! Also Ford Pumas look so cool. I remember liking them when I was in Norway.

I don’t really either - maybe it’s the angle of the photos, however, it’s a pretty well documented repair. Lots of people seem to have done it and not had issues with them....

Yeah... The door and bumper look like they came off a different car.
