    The Hoopty

    The Hoopty was a single owner grocery getter, owned by an elderly couple, who also used it to drive to their lake cabin in the summers. A 92 GL with auto and A/C. 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.

    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!!!

              An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.
