    My name is Michael. I have been a family member of FF for quite some time now!

    Ford Fesiva 1997 Trio 'S', 3 door 1.5l 16 Valve engine (Aspire).

    I have had the car since near brand new in 1998, with only 1300 Km on the clock.


    I had originally planned to keep the car standard (cheap, reliable transport) while my then partner and i saved for our first home.
    2 hours later....


    Cutting to the chase, the car went through all sorts of audio setups, many sets of wheels and suspension changes....








    After the accident, things started to get out of hand.
    Everthing except the engine was upgraded.





    After the registration expired, things REALLY got out of hand.






    After the car was started, some 6 years AFTER i pulled it off the road, we decided to finally do things right.
    Car was pulled down and rebuilt.




    And so here we are today.
    At the moment, the car is still unregistered, but we are working on it.
