Need most of a car tbh, engine, loom, mounts, other little bits. Apparently it's easier to just stick the interior loom from the Puka into the KA.

I think the word savage in this case is pushing it a bit

Lightest one is 820 standard, could probably get that under 800 with FG panels, light seats, plastic windows. Percentage terms that would matter. Wheelbase is longer as well, which should also help.

Freshly copy and pasted from the internet:
99 FORD PUMA 1.7
Forget the hairdresser associations and Fiesta underpinnings (actually a big plus). Plain fact is, the Puma is one of the world’s most underrated drivers’ cars, delivering seat-of-the-pants finesse and drivetrain sweetness that are usually the preserve of far more exotic machinery. If you can’t have fun on a twisty road in this car see a doctor. The only Ford coupe that ever really nailed it.
