Great snags Zeke, they must have great junkyards out there. Im surprized the car hadnt been crushed already. What color was the GL ? Did you get the wire harness youve been looking for ?

Me too, I am glad it was able saved some of rare parts. I wasn't expecting to see any special rare parts out the Festiva 1991 GL and the body color was bright silver and with odd decal of color blue and green if IIRC. Yes, I did able got good wire harness from other car with auto but that one 1991 GL was 5 speed manual.

Really? I don't have any clues which may from Factory or Dealer... the size was same like Damkid's sunroof measure.

aaaahhhh ! bright silver GL, I'll have to check by database for one of those. Someone ordered that special with the skylight and p/s. It would be cool to know the history. Glad you save some of it.

Close as I could get silver L Plus

I wondering how you can get some info database about history of 1991 Festiva with PS and Sunroof?

I can try get VIN and nice photos this weekend and it look little more brighter silver than your 1990 L Plus.

Marcus, it is so sad here in norcal that they crush festivas faster than they can recycle aluminum cans. The junkyard that i go to recyles one row of cars a week so the festivas in the yard last two weeks the most.

^That makes me ill .

No USA Festiva came off of the line with a sunroof or cruise they were dealer installed items.

Here I got nice pictures at junkyard today... it's same car that I was pulled out some rare items...

















Freshiva, maybe you could trace down the history with VIN? Nice to know the history of this car.
