    • Thanks Oren
      Stock steelies, rattle can black on the wheels, hand "lettered" the red around the holes. stock center caps and trim rings. Rare yes.
      And Joseph is right I had just had surgery on my left elbow. It was in a sling. I used my right hand to install the spoiler, and do all the painting. And I am left handed. :p

      And no I didn't take the tires off. I taped them off though.

        Red/black would probably look good... seems like I've seen that somewhere recently ^^^

        I love the white/black on mine, with the black bumpers and grill, still need to do the headlight trim black though. I will probably do that when I have the bumper off installing horns (as per my own advice a few posts back :lol
        No festiva for me ATM...

                • I just put a distributor on mine with no success with her running any better. I think this is going to be the last carbd car that I buy.

                          Valve stem seals most likely. That's what mine was. Oil consumption was cut by 3/4 after they were replaced.

                            • Tried doing valve stem seals. Completely failed. I did one and it took two hours to get the spring off then the keepers back in. It's going to a shop or a scrapyard. The piston rings leak because the air compressor ran non stop hovering around 40psi while connected to the cylinder.

                                That's what I was hoping. I'd rather it be that than the piston rings......... Not that I'll be able to do them anytime soon....
