Festiva # 9 and #10 ?? [Updated with video]

[freshtiva]

Did you get them both? Which one did Wes take? I can't make out ribbed or smooth taillights in the video.

WES took the 93 and left me with the 89. You probably couldnt tell about the tail lights because one was smooth and one was ribbed. It was muddy and Redford got slimed. . I tried to take a picture and the camera was on video. YucK !! Got to get that rear window wiper/washer installed.

Sweet you finally have a carbed Festiva!

Good job freshtiva,I wish I was closer to those I want a white.
Can't seem to find any for sell around here.

festivaWES deserves the notch for saving this one. WES is a go getter ! He doesnt even need any tools.

Not yet, they wont sell the 89 as cheap as the 1993 :?: Ive got nothing yet, but I'm negotiating. I did help them sell their last car though.

What a trip...nasty winds could only go 55 at max. Great time, good beer, awesome car! I finally met Marcus at the local BP gas station where we headed for the house to see the cars. The body on the 93 is pretty straight as far as there not being much rust, but there sure are a couple of big dents. I already have plans for it tomorrow....wash, tach cluster, matching tail lights, new battery, p/s mirror, and hopefully get it running and drain the old gas out.

I loved hearing stories about the man hunting experiences, laying on deer blood was nice, and you should all play this game we invented called musical beer. It's where you all sit your beers down bs talk for awhile and get distracted pick up a beer thats not yours a just drink it and set it back down again for someone else to drink.

We unfortunately were mechanically challenged working with just a rachet, 14mm socket, a knife, and a screwdriver. But i got the bumper cover off along with the support beam. I'm going to create a DIY on how to modify your core support to adapt a tow bar for towing purposes. Tools include a hammer, a punch, a crappy 18v harbor frieght special drill gun, and a little brute force.

Hey Marcus where's that picture of me by my new car?? Well here's a few pictures i captured. I'll take more tomorrow and a vid

[festivaWES]

Only complaint i have about the car right now is that the fact when i was towing i noticed a grinding/scratching metal to metal sound. Wheelbearing, clutch, trans, cv axel. I don't know yet, but the sound seems to plane out at about 45mph. This is going to be my wifes car by the way, so we done have to put anymore miles on the spectra. I'm probably going to settle with a b6-e but keep it as stock a possible other than that.
