Here are the final FOTM contestants for the year 2015.
Meepersly's car
I guess I should try entering miogi. My silver 88 ford festiva lx. Currently almost finished with a B8-ME swap. I got it from a guy who got it from a little old lady who bought it new. Being how I owned a 93 rustiva before and I saw this one I had to have it. It was carbd and the guy I bought it from had rebuilt the carb and powdercoated the valve cover. I jumped on it for $600. The carb had something wrong with it because I never could get it to run well. So I did an efi conversion. I grabbed all the parts and wire harness off a 93 festiva at the scrap yard and bolted everything up and it ran! I was so happy, but after a couple weeks of driving it I wanted it to go faster. I found a 92 Mazda protege with my engine I wanted. I pulled the engine and started my project. Its almost done and I got it to start and run for a couple seconds due to there being a lack of a cooling system.

And Wisconstiva's entry.
This is my 1990 festiva l,this is the third festy I've owned but by far my favorite color festiva.I'm currently bringing her back to her back and making it look better than ever.so far I've done blue led dash lights repaired the rust on the rocker panels put a great stereo with all new speakers,I've put a hks donut filter on it.the stock wheels are painted red and I'm planning on doing the beauty rings in white.I've got kyb gr2 shocks and struts all around with a coil cut out of each spring.full 2.25 inch exhaust sounds great.I love these cars so much.I'm addicted to festys.
