Overdue Pics of My Festiva

[LubeTechJared]

Hey new member here. I've made a couple of threads and in each I think I said I'd post some pictures of my car. Wellll...here they are. Brief background on the vehicle. I bought it in late August I think. The guy wanted 950 but I talked him down to 650. Some rust around the rear wheel wells but thats good in my opinion for an Ohio vehicle. I don't know much about the previous owner or service history. The interior isn't in to bad of shape. It could use a good deep clean. The 2 front seats are just starting to rip at the seams so I'll probably throw some seat covers on em for now. Umm...I don't know I could write a paper but I won't.

Repairs I've personally done so far:
(This is from memory...if I forget something I'll add later.)
Wires, plugs, cap, and rotor
Clutch
Replaced both cv axels
Rear brakes
Rear main seal
Valve cover gasket
New Cheap 4" speakers
Old Concord am/fm casette tuner
Mounted and wired cheap tachometer
Mounted and Balanced 4 new cheap 12" tires
Sand blasted and painted all the wheels
Some fiddling with the instrument panel for better illumination

Definite future repairs:
Alignment
Replace HLA's
Install Oil Pressure Guage
Engine Rebuild (probably in the spring)
Get a head unit that takes cd's
Get some 5 1/2" speakers for the rear
Detail the interior (and take pictures!)
Detail/paint bumpers
Detail/paint grill
Whatever else I happen to feel like...

Anyways here are the pictures. Sorry bout my lack of photography skills. Also, this is 2 days of road grime after I waxed my car. I swear it was shinier.

I was going to upload but I got flustered and also didn't want to resize so here is the link to photo bucket: http://s992.photobucket.com/albums/af48/ShortShifting/

Hope you guys enjoy.

It looks like a really nice car... especially for only $650! As far as rebuilding the engine, you could probably replace it with a good used B6, B8, or BP for what you would end up spending... from what I have read anyway. I am dying to do a swap on one of mine, but lack of funding right now is kinda making it difficult. Again, nice car, and welcome to FF.com!

No, I wish that would be cool but no. You should check him out though. Howlin' Wolf is his name.
