JONATHAN GODBOLD MK4 FIESTA

One of the most enthusiastic Sprint Test entrants was Jonathan Godbold, whose budget-build Fiesta only owes him about a grand! It started as a £200 1.3, and now features a 1.7 Puma engine, Avo coilovers and bigger brakes, and it’s been on a serious diet: the interior’s stripped out with Cobra buckets, the dash has been lightened and so have the bumpers, and it has lightweight doorcards and polycarbonate windows. Finding bargains on Facebook and eBay is the key to keeping the costs down, and Jonathan’s built himself a fantastic little road/track toy here for peanuts. He ran a 12.3-second time on the Sprint Test, which was enough to trouble some more expensive builds. QUICK SPEC 1.7 Puma engine, Avo coilovers, polybushes, 300mm brakes, Cobra buckets, TRS harnesses
