    Above is a picture of it when he had it.



    When I got it it he had given the door and side a quick coat of red paint and made it roadworthy.

    I re-painted the side and got a red door at madness.



    This past month I did an advanced suspension swap and got a roof rack and it's finally starting to look good.
    Later next week it'll get inner and outer control arms and lower control arms and probably bearings.

I have owned it for eight years now. It was totaled twice for minor damage, bought back from insurance twice, before I owned it. It has so many things changed on it since I have owned it. Cruise, bluetooth stereo, remote start, advanced suspension, LED lights, intermittent wipers, etc, etc...

    It was hit pretty hard and totaled for a third time in early 2015. I fixed it again used the extra insurance money to replace the tired B3/auto with a B6/5 speed.

    The Hoopty never fails to get me where I need to go, I use it daily and I like driving it on the highway so much better now with the 5-speed.

          My festiva is a junkyard rescue. Its one owner with 237501 miles on it atm. I talked to the yard boss from november until december. Told me it would never run again. I traded them a 88 ford f150 4x4 for it. Put a fresh battery in it and it somehow turned over. The car is all original, from the engine down to the clutch, and still running strong. I even managed to get it to 100 mph lol. Here in Texas we have alot of dirt backroads, so i do cross country with it. Ive been through 3 sets of tires since January, and am about to swap them out for ford falcon wheels. Ive driven through everything from a foot of mud (never been stuck just floats through) to a 3 foot deep water hole, and its still somehow in one piece. Plan on taking it to a true rally cross event this june.

                  Without the inspiration of the unselfish members of FORDFESTIVA.COM, The Hoopty would probably still look like the first picture, or would have been sold long ago!

                  I have always liked Festiva's, even long before I had my own. I was lucky to acquire a clean example from my friend/neighbor before he passed. I actually found the forum while trying to help Sam repair his car long before I knew I would own it someday.

                  I have never had a chance to attend Madness, but every mod I have done to The Hoopty has been done with the intention of driving it there and back.

                  There are many great cars and projects here! I am honored to represent for a short time.

                  LONG LIVE THE FESTIVA!!!
