I'll try this one. It fits Ol' Rusty to a T. I got Rusty as an abandoned car, just $5.00 to transfer title. He had 331,000 miles and smoked like a chimney, but ran fine. I had a couple of the consoles and shifter handles that I got from David88 so I installed a pair into Rusty. In my search for a better engine, I found a '86 323 on a REALLY LOW BUDGET used car lot and gave the guy $300 for. It had only 231,000 miles on it. So, I swapped motors cuz the B6 ran very well with the 4spd so, I figgered it would be just fine with Rusty's 5 spd.
Engine swap was EASY till I tried to replace the ECU. Seems the 86 323 had a 3 plug one. Found on Evilbay. Next up was a Dizzy transplant from the B3 motor, now it was Plug&Play. And play it did. What a fun daily driver. Runs hard 15 miles to work and still gets 38mpg. The seats in it were there went I found the car. I'm guessing there're from an earlier, lesser equipped model. Rear wiper didn't work, but The Supermodel helped with that. Got a nice one from Iowa with some other pieces to make almost everything work. Only the horn relay malfunctions on a regular basis.

Well here's my entry.............................

It's my 90 L-plus. It used to belong to Rich Norman. When I got it the thing was gutted. No carpet, seats, panels, windows, anything. I met Rich 2 days before he moved away from Florida. This was his auto-x car. I decided to bring it back to "road" status. I've added just about everything. It has a fms cam, and a Kerker motorcycle muffler under it. I've got big plans for it if I ever get the time . So far I haven't done alot but I look forward to providing a detailed build thread. And I really hope to win FOTM.



Here's some pics.....................
















And here is some pictures after I've replaced the interior and the doors and windows........................I've also added passenger mirror, headliner, all seatbelt parts etc.......... It is taking alot of parts to make it back to stock, but it's rust free and runs like a top.






I'll get some more pics soon.......I've got too many projects going at once

Thanks, Greg

This month i'd like to see the most hurtin festiva out there thats still being driven as a daily driver, it doesn't matter how many repairs you need to do during the week to keep it going as long as it is still driving and getting you where you need to go, this will show the true reliability of the great festivas!!

Of course any and all other entries are welcomed
