  • now I bought a $100 festy today

    And drove it home 50 miles.

    92 GL, red, 5speed, 250k. Almost zero rust, four good tires on it four more in the trunk. Nice radio, 6x9s, interior is in decent shape, hatch cover with hardware. Manual mirrors on both sides, door pockets.
    Needs a pass headlight and pass fender has a dent (not too bad though). Leaks mad oil! And it burns oil too, something is wrong w/ cyl no1. Doesn't like to idle, etc. which is why the PO parked it. But in upper rpms it feels pretty good, turned over tires in second by accident (I'm used to tires that are a good 2" wider and much stickier :p )

    no pics, I've gotta grab about two hours of sleep before I head out on a 17 hour 10-state drive in the morning. Hiking 120 or so miles in Maine!

    Just figured I'd share my awesome deal of today. Thanks to Chris (Walth) for helping me pick it up!

    Fantastic! Greg has a motor for you (my old B3, which ran great when he pulled it) if you just want a stocker. Mileage about 160K.
    90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
    09 Kia Rondo--a Festy on steroids!
