    Congratulations Firebush357!

    The Story of "The White Turd"

    I Owned a Yellow Festiva years ago named Sponge Bob but it died and I did not have the knowledge and Money to bring it back to life so we got rid of him. I have always liked little cars and fell in love with Festivas when we bought our first. Fast Foward about 6 years and I finally have the money and time to buy a new Festiva. I talked about wanting one at work enough that a coworker sent me an ad he had found on Craigslist for one near my side of town, The guy wanted $900... I talked him down to $300 cash and a Taurus PT111 9mm with some ammo.



    The car had basically zero brakes so I had to tow it home.


    Once I got it home I started tearing it down and finding out just how many problems it had with the brakes, after new pads, shoes, wheel cylinders, Master cylinder, proportioning valve and many weeks I finally had a stopping car.
    I cleaned and painted many parts, I decided to go with an "Old Ford Blue" and Black color scheme.





    Found Some Wheels on Craigslist for $80 and mounted some of the 165/55/14's on them.



    Led Cluster Lights and White Needles




    Escort Dome Light


    First night on the track



    New Seats from a Protege



    This thing has a ton of room for Camping Stuff when there is no Passenger Seat....




    Ive also installed an aftermarket Tach and a new Head Unit. Have a Borla exhaust and a Innovative Motorsports Wideband waiting to go in. 5% Window tint on the back 3 windows and 15% on the front 2. I have also recently purchased a Capri XR2 with the a running B6T that will eventually get swapped over and I'm in the middle of doing the Advance Suspension mod.
    Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.
