  • ... and then there was three...

    Hello all,

    Just picked up my third Festiva today; couldn't resist it at the price It's a dark blue '92L with 5 speed. It has over 360,000km on it but runs better than the auto one I picked last month, the one with the smoking problem. Has the same problem though with the brakes. I think I'm going to put all the brakes from the auto and then part it out. I can actually get them both in the garage too! My garage is 14' wide and 28' long so they're in there end to end with about a foot clearance to the garage door on one end and the workbench on the other.

    First things first though, I'm doing my clutch/B6 install this coming weekend

    I may have a fourth one lined up too. It's a red '90... still have to find out the price, mileage, transmission etc. I'll keep you posted.

              My buddy Jack with the festar had one for monday through friday. He gave one to his son though. 2 are still in progress. He was calling them by the day of the week. "I'm driving tuesday".
