    Windy1 made Neanderpaul fix the pictured festiva up to pristine condition with the promise that he would buy it afterward. Once finished, he said he didn't want it anymore. When Windy posts, NP refers to that car. In this case, it was because it was rust-free and he mentioned fixing rust.

    • well i figured out today you can repair a speedo cable one handed, you can change a starter one handed, you can prep and paint a valve cover one handed, but still working on how to rebuild an engine single handedly. no pun intended.

          • About half done with a b8 swap for a co-worker/friend/old festy of mine. He blew a head gasket about 2 weeks ago and wanted me to fix it. He told me to give him some more power if I could. Hehehe....I think he will like it.

              • been meaning to post this....I used this tool to cut of the section of oil pan needed for clearance of the axle when using a Festy tranny with a B6T motor....finger is for reference of size of piece (was not cut off with tool or anything else....thought about it but didn't want anyone to think I was trying to compete with kartracer46 (Jay) or motoexpress (Will))...the tool I used was the one in the picture....love it, changeable heads , has a 3/8 ratchet drive I bought and an impact/driver head also.....did I say I love it....

                • I've always wondered if those vibrating cutting heads actually work as well as they look on tv without the smoke and mirrors. Thats great to know, may have to buy one now because sometimes a Dremel is hard to use.

                    FeistyFesti, that's not a little sander man...look how clean of a cut that made. that's like a big A angle grinder!

                    • I use the craftsman multi master it's amazing I sanded my whole jet ski with it in 1 battery and it's only a 12v pretty much rips through anything that is 100% fastened. You can actually touch the blade while it's running. Before I grout tile floors I put the grout tool on and go to town takes about half the time and 1/4 of the effort. Great tools highly recommended. If you ever want to see a really nice one look up fein tool.

                      • ^^^ Yup, Fein is the original patent holder. They introduced this tool about 10 years ago, but their tool 'system' was around $1k!!!
