Ian's B6T Festiva build

Rear axle out.



Plan on getting a bunch more done this weekend.

Thanks for your continued interest!

The car spent a lot of its life in BC which probably is a biggest factor in its condition.

I got the sound deadener from www.b-quiet.com in Lethbridge. Makes a big difference, especially on long trips. The best way I can explain it is that it takes away the buzziness. Doors feel more solid too and the stereo sounds much better.

Ok, which product of theirs did you use and how many sq ft did it take?

I bought their 'Extreme' product. Used a little less than 100 square feet doing almost everywhere inside except the roof.

Thanks.
But dont you want it quieter when it hails?
With the speakers in the doors did any festiva's come with that or are you modifying the door? And what size speakers?
Are you going to pay someone to tint the back window or try it yourself this time since its out?

Reached a milestone today! I have everything off or out of the car that I'm sure will be replaced. Still a couple of things that may be replaced but won't know for sure until I start transferring stuff from my current car.







Rear bumper is primed and ready to sand and put the color coats on...


The biggest thing is I've started putting things back on the car!!!!

New Super-Pro bushing installed in the lower control arms...



Excitement level is increasing daily.

Ian,
It's looking GREAT !
But that sound deaden-er, hope it weighs less than dyna-mat .
Just can't see adding weight, well maybe some foam ear plugs.....

The product I'm using weighs 0.30lbs per square foot so I've added 30 lbs at most. The majority of that is on the floor as I didn't put any on the ceiling at all.

Looking mighty fine if I do say so myself!!!!

That's my favorite stock festiva color. Now you need a set of white wheels!

I've been considering white wheels actually! My current wheels are silver and look good on the red car. I have an extra pair of matching ones which might just see some white paint soon.

Started transferring bits from the old intake manifold....



to the nice new powder coated one...



Picked up some more aqua paint today and got some work done on the front bumper. Just placed orders with Fourgreen and Rockauto.
