Just thought I'd start a belated build thread on the B6t Festiva I bought from Strech88.
Here is the FS post with a few pictures of when I bought it http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...car-MAKE-OFFER
The car had been originally built by Shadetree quite a few years ago but had seen some changes with the addition of a G-series transfer and a coilover setup by Skeeters Keeper.
Shadetree offered to pick the car up and go over the mechanicals for me as the car needed a number of things to get it ready for the road. It all worked out great as it morphed into much more of a project than I expected and I no longer have nearly as much time to work on projects as I used to.
Here are a few pics of the car as it was when Shadetree picked it up.

The original plan was for Shadetree to get the car mechanically sound and ready to run. Didn't take long until changes started piling up.
Here is a list of things Shadetree installed and changed ( and I'm probably missing some)
AEM water methanol system to replace inter cooler.
Glowshift 3 in 1 gauge with boost, oil pressure, oil temperature
The car had a tan interior and I prefer gray. Shadetree wanted a nice tan interior so he did a complete swap.
Advancedynamics front core support mod
Wideband air/fuel gauge
Painted bumpers
Smoothie taillights
New wheels and tires
Here are a few current pics.
A huge shout out for Shadetree for working with me as the project morphed from a simple get it running to a major project. I'm certain I've failed to list quite a bit that he's done.
I can report that the car runs and drive awesome. I've got a list of things I want to do before I consider it completed.
To do list:
Tint windows
Install nice cleaned door cards
Install EGT seats,map pockets,and armrests
Install hybrid EGT/Festiva console
Install Glowshift dual air intake gauge (this is just for fun and see how much water-meth cools intake charge)
Buff and polish paint
Ill try and get pics and update as the project continues
