    I found my Festiva on ebay.I was the high bidder,but it did'nt hit reserve.I contacted the seller,struck a deal,packed up the wife and kids and headed 800 miles north!!.We actually drove from Ellabell,GA to Madera,PA to pick up this lil' gem.It had been off the road for a little over 2 years,but the owner assured me that with a new battery she would fire up and drive anywhere.Well,we called his bluff and drove up with a battery I had in my old van.When we got there I was suprised to see how clean the car was.I dropped the battery in and hit the key.Pukka,pukka,vroom!!! It started right up.The a/c was'nt working as stated so they knocked off $100(I have since then,charged the a/c and it blows cold).So $900 and 800 miles later,she was in my driveway.It went though 3 or 4 tanks of gas,a container of seafoam(to clean tha fuel system),A container of 4cyl restore(218,000 miles on her.But made the trip without a wimper.On top of that,Someone had added a Sears cruise-control system to the little beasty at some point in the past.Amazingly enough,IT WORKED!!.She runs good and is my daily driver.It's a 1988 LX.It has a/c,tilt,cruise,power mirrors,power brakes,tinted windows,5 speed trans,12" factory alloys,panasonic cd player,aftermarket slport steering wheel,LeBra,roof spoiler,driving lights

    Here are a few pictures of my Festiva...
















    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

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