first time at JY and..

[goodbabbu]

Yesterday me and a buddy of mine went to a pick and pull and found some goodies.

I got myself a cargo cover, and a maplight!!
There were electric mirrors(factory swoopy i think they are called), but the glass on them was cracked, so I passed them up..
Also, the car had factory alloys, which are useless to me as i am running 14" wheels.. The car had an A/C too, but i ain't that mechanically great that i would be able to put it in, so i passed it up as well..

A/C???? You may have witnessed a first! I've never heard of/seen a festiva in canada with A/C!

someone could have installed the parts onto a canadian festiva?

True, or perhaps someone imported the car from the US. Still a rare find though.

SO do i.. To tell the truth, that was what i had in the back of mind (to find a spoiler).
I am going to start visiting these yards frequently now on and maybe i will get lucky!!

Hey Goodbabbu,

should you go back to that p-n-p, I'll buy those swoopy mirrors off of you. Please let me know, thanks in advance! ....renny

That's because the member got banned and he took his pictures down. Serves us right I guess... :-P

The details should still be explained though... Swap them with the 626 (I believe that is correct anyways) parts... I believe the idea behind this was that the internals in the Festiva mirrors were crappy and ended up cracking or breaking... For mine, I used some glue and epoxy and fixed it up to keep the mirrors from vibrating...
