My new festy build thread

[91blufestiva]

wow, a tracter muffler? I would love to hear the sound of that.

hotfordcat, I pm'd you, very interested in your deal.

[91blufestiva]

Ok! Finally time for an update!! even tho it's not much of an update lol

I took the front 2 seats out, vacuumed the entire floor, scrubbed a little bit, but didn't do much difference... Also cleaned the dash pretty good

Put in a full sized spare.

Puttin it back together after taking out and cleaning the plastic that goes around the E-brake.

All back together. Didn't bother much on the seats, because I'm going to install LX seats soon.



Also unplugged that annoying little door buzzer thing :p

[Festiva_Fred]

I hate that door buzzer thing! I unplugged mine too.

[91blufestiva]

ahh, it just about has to be done!

[sasquatch]

thats the very first thing i did to mine was unplug that buzzer... thats a tight fit for the spare... keep up the good work

[91blufestiva]

Actually, the spare fits quite nicely.

here's an update...

my dad bought some new rims for his '57 chevy, so I helped him put them on today. Can't wait to get this thing solid and painted drool

Then saw this little bugger by our torch, anyone know what it is?



Then I tore appart a crappy muffler and had my dad weld the bolt thing on my cherry bomb that I recieved today.






Then I found out that my dad's red festiva had a real nice hood, so I put it on my car, I like the look of it.

[sasquatch]

cool, i didnt know they made a 6 inch cherry bomb muffler lol... looks great make sure you put a tip on the end of that muffler to get the fumes out from under your car... it will rust out faster and you get fumes in the car too

[91blufestiva]

yeah, I'll get more pipe on there one day

[batstiva]

Coming along nicely. That spare looks like you had to grease the sides to get it in there. Nice to know a real wheel/tire will fit in there. How does the cover go over it? Fit nice, or kind of bulged up?

[91blufestiva]

No, I didn't have to grease up anything, and the cover actually goes over very nicely and doesn't leave a buldge (if i remember right)

[freshtiva]

Ive got a full size spare in Redford and it sticks up a bit.

[Festiva_tunner]

nice progress - are you eventually going to paint the hood?

[91blufestiva]

thanks tunner.

maybe :p
