After building many custom race cars and street cars & trucks, I am now going to build a car I have wanted to build for 10+ years now. 1993 Festiva.
We found our car in Detroit for $350.
I drove it home at 60 mph because 5 gear was broken. No exhaust past the firewall & a broken drivers seat. The ride home was great. All I could do is smile because I was dreaming big of the build that was to come.
We just bought a farm house & I have a few other projects that i need to finish before I can focus on the Festiva.
The GOAL
To build a wicked go-kart.
I want people to walk up to it and say, "WTF did you do"
MOTOR
2.3 turbo or small block ford
TRANS
Definitely going to be a stick.
REAR END
8.8 out of a fox body stang
TIRE
28x10.5 drag slick out back
3.5 skinny up front
wheelie bars mounted high thru the bumper
1/4 mile ET
Shooting for the 9s
Will probably roll it out running in the 11/10 range for testing
I will keep updating this as I go thru the build, I do expect it will start slow thru this winter.
