    The ones I tried to fit on at the junkyard did not fit because of the round part in the lower front of the mirror did not align with the hole in the festiva door. It would of taken a little bit of grinding on the festiva door and I would of had it in. It will bolt up if you take of that one problem.

        with a little work they will bolt on.. but as you can see in these pics, they don't fit right. Looks like they'll hang on the fender when opening the door.

          nothing a little fiberglass work couldn't fix...but it would be easier and probably cheaper to go with the festiva power mirrors. a whole lotta work for not much difference imho.

            Not looking right was another thing I was looking at but I though it could have been the fact I did not have it on all the way. I guess I was right according to the pictures.

              Thanks allot for the pics and quick response, it seems that all the festivas in junkyards around my area have been stripped and i only found 2 in about a hundred km radius from my house, but theres plenty of 323's.

              yes i have allot of mirage turbo's, what can i say, there cheap and can be made to have well over 3-400 hp depending on what bolt ons you buy, and thast on a stock block/head.

              Thanks. Emmo.

                  those mirage turbos are slick little cars, just don't seem to be any around here. have been looking for one for a few years now and nuthin. speaking of power mirrors though ian i'm hoping that pass side ya sent me showed up today. my mail has been running really slow lately for some reason, can't wait to finally replace it and have the final laugh over thar stupid vulture, may it rot in hell for all time. :twisted:

                    A package I shipped at the same time as yours arrived in Kansas today so yours shouldn't be too far behind.

                      lol well it should have arrived today, but the mailman was too lazy to get out of his car to see if anyone was home to sign for the package. oh well, it'll be here tomorrow!
