Is it worth fixin?

i'll take it off your hands.






Just kidding, welcome to our Festiva group. We will help you as best we can. There's no Festiva that isn't worth fixing or exhausting every resource trying to fix. My yard is a testiment to that statement.

First I'd like to say hey to everyone here, I found this place through Skimsucka via a different message board. I picked up a 92 festiva last week it is a stick shift with 125,000 on the odometer. That being said it is in pretty rough shape it has a little rust on it but the floors seem to be sound. The problem is I went to do brakes on it and didn't know what I was getting into, It looks like I need to replace pads, rotors, wheel bearings, control arms, and tie rod ends. The engine starts up and runs good but I can't tell how it sounds because the exhaust is trashed. It looks like most of the oil is leaking out of the valve cover. Sorry to be so long winded on a first post I was just wondering if this bad boy is worth the effort or I should just ditch now?

yo man good buy for 200$ ! and you got your self an EFI car 5spd more great things I think its totally worth fixing for how cheap you got it with all the stuff you have listed if you get for the right price another 200$ and some TLC you should have a nice car . Post some pics up when you get a chance !

The car i got for 75$ needed a lot of things since the guy had it has a parts car for a while people stripped it of a lot of things but i have pieced it together so far under 300$ and now i have everything from my wrecked black car so it will be on the road within the next week!
