What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[getnpsi]

yeah im about to leave my moms. Ill snap a pic. its still not done. It needs to be pushed back about 2 inches. For right now i left the original piece where the ashtray is under the honda console and self tapped screws to hold it in place. Youll also notice i am not running lap seatbelts LOL. I will address this when i remove it to paint it black, install headunit, and my black leather miata seats. I havent bothered tracking down some manual seatbelts. The armrest piece kinda floats in the air in the back but i dont see it, function over form in this case!

you have any more pics from further away. from outside car through open door maybe? or close-up of the mods to console under Festiva dash area? or maybe one of the armrest? Sorry ????? but I like the looks of it so far!

Today I did a quick fit of this Honda console. I went ahead and made the purchase for the arm rest of ebay and to my surprise he gave me the cup holder which also has a din cubby I am going to put my radio in there. Amazing goes in there really super deep I had to notch it and remove top plastic,also rip out all the factory festiva black metal ti make it clear the blower box. In the picture of the Depth isn't that great but you won't even be able to see the radio unless you're behind it I think that's really good anti theft in my opinion

Got the new hubcaps, pretty cheaply made compared to the last swt I bought for the 12"s I previously had.
Half the clips broke off one when I removed it to acommidate the valve stem. Still holds to the wheel though.

Decided to paint them red.

wow. All that from my yards here in Ohio would be rusted beyond being useable. LOL must be nice to live south of the 39th parallel

Installed new front KYB struts and strut mounts. No more strange noises from the front end! I also replaced the outer tie rod ends, lower ball joints, brake calipers and pads on my 91 XR-2. Thankfully the parts are reasonably priced for it too.

Emergency Brake gave up the ghost.
No longer grabs at all, and the handle pulls up with almost no effort, but still feels like the cable is attached somewhere.

another thing to do when it gets warm again.

Any of the dash screws should work just as well

sent from the depths of hell.

Screws came along with them. I didn't open the screws so I won't end up losing them. I assume they are the original screws.

Installed Chrome Door Handles and Hand Holds in back seat

Here are picture of the chrome door handles that I got from 1chrisapple and installed in Trixie and Nellie.
I left the handles in the dark housings for Trixie but put them in the tan housings for Nellie.


The tan rear hand holds are in Nellie and the Gray ones are in Trixie. Had problems finding the holes
to mount them at the front in Nellie so I now have a couple of extra small holes in the headliner.

I wouldn't bother painting, because people are going to kick them again.
Do you have the two small square screw anchors for the front holes? The rear screws have flush heads.

Bought some map pockets (thanks to 1chrisapple) They were dirty and scuffed up so I gave them a bath. They turned out pretty well. I think I may try painting them, but not sure yet.

I'm not going to install them until it warms out outside, so I'm just collecting stuff for the time being.

Dropped the valve cover off at the powder coating shop.
Gonna have it painted a candy red that's a close match to the exterior paint color.
Should be ready for pickup within 10 days or so.
Can't wait!

Blocked off the grille, and lower scoop or whatever you call it with cardboard.

See how this works.
