    And I am going to get a camera some time. I just don't have a computer at the moment. I have been using my phone for everything. And yes I bought the whole car so I could have an upgraded trans and a aspire swap all at once. And having something that was already wired up to go off of is going to be a big help for me. And festYboy you are more than welcome to come down if you like. I'm always up for help. And if you need anything welded I can help you out with that if your that close.

      Plans for the shell afterwards? Just wondering what's to become of my old car:cry_smile:

        I haven't got to in depth with the wire yet. I just got the hole drilled in the fire wall and started putting it where it needs to be. I will take close up pictures when i get involved. I am using most of the harness from the other festiva. I'm color blind and this is going to be a little bit on the tricky side but I will get it done.

          Don't know why it double posted but I'm not sure what I'm doing with the shell. I don't want to scrap it because I thought it would be disrespectful to a car that had that much work put into it. For now it is going to sit under a tarp and be used as a parts car for any just in case thing that goes wrong.

            If the shell can't be salvaged at all, I'd strip every usable part off it and let the shell rest in peace

            1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
            1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
            2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

            1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

            If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                I got the radiator and intercooler mounted up today so far and put the aspire (i think) master cylinder and booster on. I'm going to get the computer out from storage and try to get some more pictures up. I'm starting the wiring in the engine bay. Wish me luck. I hate being color blind.

                        Not a problem. If anyone else close by wants to come down we can make a trip out of it. I have a big truck for anything over sized if you get it.

                            I missed something! What the heck happened to the hulk? I read the posts about a roof swap, but this is the first I have seen of this. Did it roll over? Sorry for being a little slow, but I'm in shock here.

                            Hondaslayer, you have the most hardcore engine hoist I've ever seen used on a Festiva! Overkill? Never too much power!

                                The hulk was in a roll over accident. I was talking to shadetree at the time and made a deal to get the car for a motor swap into my car.
