Udder Horror - Festiva #2

[Grey Vw]

I just picked this up yesterday for $300. Runs and drives fine. The lady sold it cheap because the clutch was slipping but it rarely slipped on the way home. Only when I really got on the gas.

It's name is Udder Horror because I like cows and will scare Mustangs. I will start a build thread as soon as I find the donor GT.

Pics are a little sad because I used my video camera since my camera died.

you should put a vW emblem on it.

Looks like a good car! Just don't sell it.

Did you do the rear wiper mod or a previous owner?

I want a second festiva... I'm so jeleous

Why did this festiva come with the right mirror? I'm guessing these are what are called swoopies.

I will definitely not sell this one, this is my hobby now.
The previous owner did but i'm thinking that the original hatch got hit and they replaced with white hatch that just happened to have the wiper.

No, what he means is that the wiper doesn't originally stop in the down position.
Oddly, the OEM wiper when in the stopped position sits vertical/orthogonal to how yours is sitting.
So yours is either broke or has been moded to sit that way.
In ether case car looks good for $300, congratulations!:wav:

My '88 Festiva LX rear wiper always stopped at the bottom.

I'm guessing his is '89 Festiva LX. Great buy! Clutch probably needs adjusting.
