Festiva progression thread

[lanemeyer14]

Awesome progress, I'm really liking that color! I think I might do mine the same color, if you don't mind What's the paint code or name of that shade?

Also, once you start wetsanding and buffing, the orange peel will start to disappear and the the shine will really come out!

It's rustoleum festival green gloss. the orange peel actually isn't too bad...it's good enough for me anyway

Looking good!! That color is definitely growing on me! Glad to hear you made yourself get something done. Seems like the hardest part is getting the butt in the garage.

Keep at it!

Thanks bat! I'm doing what I can

You basically stole my color. I'll have to show you my progress on the blue bomber, and my paint color. Your festiva is coming together real nice!

[hotfordcat]

Very nice color. Black with orange trim looks good on it also.

I hope "peewee" is your cars name, lol.

Yes "peewee " is the name of the Festiva in my avatar. I got the name from a co-worker who nick-named everyone with their oposite name. I.E I was at 300+ pounds so I was "peewee". Someone with a lot of hair was "baldy".
Peewee is getting ready for Festiva Madness. More seats, painted panels,interior work , etc. Exterior work will be later.

Damn it's looking good.

Almost there....Got the passenger side pretty much finished up. Still need to do the driver's side, and do a little work on the hatch, hood and front bumper. Probably won't be completely finished in time for FM3, unsure if I'll even make it to FM3 with the way I've been feeling lately. I'll try to convince myself not to miss it.

Thanks Dean. I really don't wanna miss out again this year....my spirits are just still really low from my relationship problems I'm going through.

Come on----you need to get to the meet. It'll cheer you up to come see your friends and meet new ones. And it'll take your mind off your problems. We'll miss you if you don't make it.
Besides, I'm dying to see your car, even if it's not finished. Mine is supposed to be done being painted. Hopefully we will bring it home tonight. We have run out of time to do anything else with it except clean up the interior and put the seats back in it. Everything else will wait until later.

[eurotiva]

Mine will be incomplete too. As always. It's an ongoing project. Lane you'd better ease your mind of her and come talk about festivas and think about other stuff.....

[hotfordcat]

Lane, you take my place. I can't make it, and you need the friendship now more than ever. It will boost your spirits and people are dying to see that Festy.

Thanks guys! I already have the time off work, so I should be coming. I haven't driven the car since I've done all the work on it, so I don't even know how everything will hold up. Hopefully I'll be able to take it for a spin in the next few days to make sure it's up for the trip.

Looks great, all that hard work is finally paying off!

Hey, there are several people coming up from SC and GA who will probably use I-85. I know Motoxpress and his family will be coming up Thursday, but if you can't meet up with them, maybe you could arrange to meet some of the others coming up on Friday. That way you won't be traveling alone. If you want to see who's coming through Charlotte, put out a post.

Think: Have sleeping bag and tool box---will travel.
