Well since I got my latest festy and started work on it, I decided I wanted to make a thread to track my progress. It will probably be slow going, but I just want to use this to see the transformation, and let everyone else see as well. So I started with this gross, swamp filled festiva....
As you can see, it needed some love. Driver's side window was busted out, and plenty of rain, mud, and animals of some sort made the car their home for who knows how long. The car didn't run, so I had it towed home and went to work. Replaced the plugs, wires, and fuel pump from an aspire and got her running! I had to remove the entire interior to clean and pressure wash the carpet and scrub down everything. On the first day driving it, she broke down! Tracked the problem down to the ignition coil and replaced that too. Now it was time to start adding some goodies. Put in a tach cluster, int. wiper, clear/red taillights, clear camry bumper lights, painted wheels black, tinted the windows, added some Mx-3 seats, Bride knock off steering wheel, full console, type r shift boot, civic short shifter, skunk2 shift knob, land rover e-brake handle and boot, black protege window cranks and interior door handles, black floor mats from a cavalier, and protege power mirrors. Here is what she's looking like now...
I'll take better pics and update as often as possible. I'm in the process of spraying portions of the mx-3 seats black since they were an ugly faded blue. It's turning out nice so far. I'm thinking about using some sem interior dye to do parts of the dash/interior black as well. I also have a few other goodies sitting in the garage waiting to be added Anyway, hope you guys enjoy!!
