1993 Festiva, Project Mr. Peppy

[Bert]

Nice score laddy. Darn that I see that it's an auto, but that can be rectified. The 5 speeds are zippy even with OEM B3s in them.

Haha. Yes, blue and pink. How about a ticked off Hello Kitty decal somewhere too?

Not making fun, BTW. Serious.

Iam not sure what supplier my buddy ordered them through but i know he does use trican, the tires are coming in from edmonton. Final bill for the tires is $273.00 with tax! So far i payed $200.00 for the car, found a $50.00 pre paid un-opened visa and a $20.00 bill inside, paid $60.00 for the wheels, and $273.00 for the tires. I have $463.00 total into the car and parts so far

Little bit of progress tonight, switched out the passenger fender bolts, rad hold downs and intake bracket with stainless steel allen head bolts, acorn nuts and washers. Weekend plans are to remove drivers side strut assembly for cleaning and painting and remove valve cover to paint it barbie pink!

[TominMO]

I wasn't interested! I have one of my own!

Wow. I mean, good for you....

[dcoultis]

oops the tire size i ordered was 185/60/13 not 185/60/14

I Heated the oven up to 420 then turned the oven off, stuck the head light in the oven for 15-20 mins, then i carefully pryed between the lense and metal housing with an old kitchen knife tell the lense popped off. Scraped all the old glue/sealant out of the groove on the housing and glass then resealed them when i was done with goop marine silicone. I put a bag of floor dry on top of the lense to apply pressure while the glue cured. Make sure you remove your head light bulbs and bulb retainers to prevent damage. And also make sure your gf or wife approves of you using the oven for this before you start!

how did you take the lenses off the headlights. i need to fix some rust on mine?

[dcoultis]

Ordered tires, purchased the federal ss595 185/60/14, will arrive from Edmonton next week!

[dcoultis]

Thanks guys, its only the beginning so far, it will be a long term project that will have minor visual mods and hopefully horsepower one day lol. Does anybody know if a mk3 vw VR6 lip will fit a stock festiva front bumper? I have a buddy that owns a tire shop here in town, just called him and i can get those same federals for 65 each plus free mounting since i used to work there!
