    Looking good Slayer!

    As for Hulk's stripped hulk, don't forget to cut out the rear wheel well patches where many other Festivas rust out ahead of the wheels. That's if they are unrusted and fairly straight, of course.

    Unless Arty has a better idea, the best use of Hulk now is to strip off as many parts as you can salvage to keep other Festivas on the road (and make some extra money).

            woohoo!

            I got the beast running today. And the first try too. I'm so excited. Can't wait to drive it. I need to get the rest of the aspire swap on. Need to bleed the brakes and get the interior back in. I'm going to get the computer tonight and try to get some pictures and video up. Keep you posted.

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

                  ok below the pix on photobucket, you see a dropdown list. click the last option once. now come back to this sight (ina different window) and make like you're going to post. now press the "ctrl" button on the keyboard and while pressing CTRL, tap the "v". that will paste the pic link and it will show up as a picture once your'e done writing. you can repeat these steps for each picture. also, you want to hit "enter" between links so that they show up verticaly on the site.
                  Trees aren't kind to me...

                  currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),

                      here is the rear bumper mounted up. had to hack out some of the spare tire well to get the exhaust to work but it was starting to rust a little.


                      im going to need a spoiler soon on account when i was trailering hulk home from west virgina it ripped off the hatch because we loaded it on backwards. i will post a wtb soon and maby i can trade for some parts i have.

                              need a little help

                              i got to take the car around the block today. it is fast. i am having a few problems. it cuts out if i give it more than 1/4 throttle and it dies till i let off the gas for a couple of seconds then it runs fine again. and another thing is on the fire wall there is 3 sensors on a bracket and the one all the way to the right clicks like a relay till i get up in the rpms a little. any help would be awsome. im trying to get this inspected next week so i can start driving.

                              here is a picture of the sensors
