  • The new addition.....

    Here is my new Festy...new to me , anyway.Bought it while working in WV.Auto,a/c...RUST FREE.!!!Paid a lot less than my 93 I have had for a year.The mechanic where it is said it need a new distributor.It runs and drives.He says it sometimes doesn't start right up,so,I am going to tow it back next week or the week after,just to be safe.My mom wanted an auto with a/c,so,here it is.Seems no one I know likes these cars until I got one and then dogged it until gas got high and they rode in mine.Maybe a new revolution.!!Will update when I get it homw next week or two.
    I am going to try and contact the old owner as there is paperwork for a 92 in it , too.Maybe get a whole Festy family.!

      I also found an awesome j/y while there , too.Getting a new hatch w/wiper(rust-free) for $35.00.There are a few festys there.No good interiors though.Good prices make up for it.Tons of old cars I haven't seen in years,though.

            Looks real straight should turn into a nice L plus with some TLC.

              Very nice score! Hit that paint with some rubbing compound and wax and I bet it will come out REALLY nice!

                      No rubbing compound needed.....Nufinish works great and brings back the shine very nicely. I have used it on worse finishes and they shine right up
