    yup welcome to the site, I waited 6 months for mine. Trust me you will love this car. Its very easy to fix and cheap to maintain. Best thing to do is get familiar with the engine.

    Did you drive it yet?? easy right?

      Yeah, No I didn't get to drive it yet.....It should be getting towed to my house this weekend (it runs but not good enough to make the drive here) After I get it here i'll start working on it and get it running right, and then start driving it

        Ford for life -- Great looking Festiva ! Congrats !

        You should see my '88 .......like a mini demo-derby car !! I hope to
        save it. It is a carb engine, 4-speed. I literally saved her from a re-cycler, and it ran after I put new plugs, changed oil, cleaned her up...prayed ! HA

        :p

        Lots to do yet, it is an original dark charcoal paint, needs lots of TLC !

            ^^with time you'll have a really nice festiva there!!

            If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

              What you need to get it running?
              It's a good thing you don't read the stickies, you might of learned something.Poverty produces creativity

                It runs just not good enough to drive, I don't have the car at my house yet, so I'll have to find out what it needs to get it running right again when I get it, which should be next weekend

                  So you paid for it already? and getting it towed next weekend? No offense but did you look under the hood, heard it run, checked for problems? just saying.

                    Yes Me, My dad, and My grandpa (who used to be a mechanic) all looked it over really good before deciding to buy it.
