        Thanks Jerry! I so wanted to make it to FM3 to show it off to everyone that has been keeping up with my progress on this thread. At least I know that by this time next year I should be COMPLETELY finished with it, and everyone will get to see it then!

                Thanks!
                Did a few little odds and ends on it today. Nothing huge...Tried to put the antenna back in but broke it, put some mesh behind the grille, hooked the windshield washer back up, and made some screw caps for the spoiler. Since I broke my antenna I'll be on the lookout for a bee sting type antenna for it!

                        Thanks! I'm so in love with this car now it's crazy! To think I spent $100 dollars on something that was basically trash to one person, and now it's one of the best things in my life. Since I've replaced the water pump I have yet to take it on a long trip, but that should be coming soon. I hope she doesn't let me down!
                        Edit: Oh yeah, today I noticed a guy drive by me with a big smile on his face while looking at my car. When I pulled up next to him at the red light he looked over and said "Is that a Festiva?", I said "Yep", and he replied "Man, I used to have one of those in college, I like what you did with it!". It's really nice to get feedback from even random people driving down the road. So many people have a soft spot for these cars for one reason or another!

                              • Little update for today....Picked up a front lip from the JY, put mesh and a festiva badge in the grille, and put in clear toyota bumper lights. Getting a new windshield installed tomorrow for $100 too!


                                Now I need some side skirts and a rear lip
