    Thanks!

    I will rest easier though when I get my locking lugs tomorrow. Hopefully they won't throw off the balance of the wheels, because they are a bit longer than the stock lug bolts.

    Please ignore the peeling cheap bedliner I put on back in November, I did it half assed and didn't even prep before hand. Going to alleviate that once warmer weather comes around and buy a random-orbital sander so I can give this car a good prep then paint.
    But that will have to come after some of the body work I still have to do.

    Got rubber onto the Konigs, and got them bolted to the car.

    added a "fourbangin'" decal in the back and checked out the clutch, its making a creeking/ squeeking noise not sure whats going , maybe help? it only happens on neutral when pressing the clutch down and hear it some what while driving and pressing the clutch down. the noise is sort of like what you hear when you go up creaky stairs.

    Not sure what I'll do permanently yet. The whole thing needs done, but that's when it gets warmer later on. I was surprised how good it came out. It got dark just after I painted it, and was down in the 30s all night. It was soaked with paint too. Somehow it still dried.

    This was just to not get attention in it. Don't need attention in a stock Festy.

    I personally prefer flat paint on hoods. No reflection from sun into the eyes while driving. Too bad you didn't paint it flat blue with some orange pinstripe. It would have rocked.

    I thought AutoZone/O'Reillys has the ford blue for the Festiva in a rattle can? Agreed, looks better than before!

    Too light, but better than flat black and graffiti "Turbo".

    Swapped my hood for a new one. Found a boost leak in my wastegate-MBC line. Washed my car. Deodorized the interior. Had some fun.

    Had this rattle can of Rustoleum Royal Blue Gloss sitting on a shelf and a hood that was annoying me. I painted it in 40 degrees so it didn't lay right at all (fisheyes and runs all over), but if the color comes out anything like it looks wet, I know how I'm doing the repaint on ol blue. It's amazing how close it is. Pics when it's dry tomorrow.
