    My new 92

    Well I finally got this new Festy I'd been after. The weather was not cooperating so I had to wait a few weeks. This was only a few blocks from my house, but I had to tow it with the yellow car and a tow strap so I had to wait for the snow and ice to melt. Here it is



    This will be my swap car. Its a 1992 with 98K miles. It looks blue in the pic but its really green. Not my favorite color by any means. Especially with the girly pink stripes. I guess I can live with it for now. I think it has good potential. The car sat outside for 2 years and some dummy left the quarter windows unlatched. There was a swamp in the spare tire well. The carpet is trashed. I'll need a new full carpet at some point. It runs good, no rust, but the trans is bad. The engine is for sale. I'm exited. I can hardly wait to get started on the BP swap.

            Sweet find, love the color! The stripes remind me of the splash graphics that were on my 94 Katana...but they were much bolder. I quickly removed them LOL

                  The stripes will make it a good sleeper no one will take it serious because of the size of the car and that it has the pink on it. I would leave them.

                              That is over the top. Never saw that before. Where did you get those? Well they would match. Thats all I can say right now. lol. I'll give it time. I guess its unanimous. The pink girly stripes will stay. You all make a very good point about the sleeper aspect of it.

                              Nice! Looks like it's the same color as my 93'
                              Yes it is!
