She's come along way from when I first got her. A lot of mechanical work has been done as well as part swaps from 2 other festivas.

List of parts: headlights/blinkers, tail lights, front and rear bumpers, bonnet, fuel flap, rear plate light bar.

Here's my 1989 Festiva. I'd known about the car for about a year, as it was local, but I almost never saw it driven. I had owned them in the past, but finally got back into full size pickups. In October of 2017 I was involved in an accident with my Silverado 2500 and a draft horse. I crested a hill on my way into work and bam, there he was. Needless to say, the truck was totaled. I needed a vehicle that I knew how to work on, was cheap and could do anything I wanted.

Enter this car. 150k miles with almost zero rust. I'm the third owner. A local guy bought this car in the early 90's to drive around with up here when he came up from out of state, so it always stayed at his house. He had failing health and the garage that did the work was sick of storing it, so they bought it from his kids, than put it up for sale. Ive done the carb swap, and have new metro rims with snow tires. Its been a learning curve owning a carb'd vehicle, but this is definitely worth it in the end.

First seen on google earth, I tracked down the owner and offered his 1988 Mazda 121 Shades a new chance at life




A capri turbo was purchased as a donor, and the rebuild began



I stumbled across a 3rd gen B6D engine with low km, price was good so decided to use that instead - adding the turbo parts from the B6T
A '98 Demio with rear end damage was also sacrificed for this project - brakes, knuckles, rear beam, mirrors, interior roof lining

12 - 15 months later, this is how she looks
