Transmission mount fabrication

So since no one makes a G series swap mount i had to fabricate my own

..Huge thanks to SkimSucka for helping me

Got the tail lights out, head lights, corner lights, hood latch, swapped interior harness, popped out windows, all key clinders, door handles, window moldings, weather stripping etc.

She's going into the paint booth tomorrow !

I've decided to paint it the same color as my Harley F150 Dark Shadow Grey,

^ :lol:

That is a very clean looking XR2, weren't there any crappier cars around that could sacrifice their body in order to give their soul to a festiva? But I have to agree, that silver car is gorgeous, definitely worthy of a nice swap. I miss my silver

ahhhh i would say the same except the entire interior is too far gone !
and nothing will be wasted as far as in engine bay or body panels probably going to part out the leftovers

Hey, no need for M3ntal to post, skimsucka can post the progress.

ahah I have my own festiva to worry about still need to tint and paint mine and pop the a/c on now that i have test drove the motor for a week all is great with it!

he will come around i was the same way when i got here ahah
