started out festiva, did the Aspire suspension swap Saturn wheels (15") and a random roof rack...

Thats a nice roof rack. I like is. Where did you purchase it from? -
Looks good with that roof rack. It's just a shame we have to deal with rusty festivas now. Not much to be done about it after it starts.
poor cars are on a timer and the click keeps ticking!

Sad too when I see people even on here scrapping nearly rust free shells. Like there was one in Canada not long ago, but it wasn't 25 years old yet so it couldn't be imported, and there is only a handful of Canadian members here.Originally posted by zoom zoom View PostLooks good with that roof rack.

Yeah......sadly, I don't think Bondo is gonna solve your problems.
Any chance you can start looking for another one now?

I own a salvage yard (JYD Recycling Versailles, Mo) and we get a lot of stuff in that we scab on to. I have 5 Festivas that I have bought from Craigslist running and driving for $360 - $500... I have just been stock piling them. I have two or three Aspires and a few donor Festivas. Call me if you need parts or something I can help you with. 573-378-5333Comment

I'm thinking about trying to host one at Lake of the Ozarks, the city council is chattering to bring revenue to the Strip (a boardwalk for cars) where they hold a lot of car shows, like the Magic Dragon Car Show and Hot Summer Nights for Bikes.

That's nothing... try 39 hours! Oh wait, we did! Check out the link to our blog in my signature. Certainly a doable trip if you have the time and are prepared. I think every Festiva owner should make at least one trip to Madness, it was well worth the trip.Originally posted by william View PostIan

^ I've seen your trip pictures.
Very impressive, Not sure if I could do that one.
It is an experience you need at least once.Comment

Hey JYD-
Did those Saturn wheels need any special spacers or fittings?
and what model are they from ?
They look pretty nice, tho I'd rather find some 13's with higher profile tires....Comment

the aspire swap with the saturn wheels looks great it really matchs your carComment
