I rolled Festdiva out of the barn. Its been sitting since June of 2012. First start in nearly a year and a half ( after replacing the battery )Vid below. Some dry HLAs but that don't worry me. I was afraid I'd open the door and find a mouse infestation but didn't even find a single mouse sprinkle. Smells as fresh as the day I parked it. Festdiva is on winter detail this year.
just bought this festiva saturday, its an 88 carburated 1.3. my goals will be first to do the aspire brake swap, I will then focus on what type of engine swap I want. looking for an easy swap that will bolt directly up to existing mounts and transmission. one question I have is since my engine is carburated, will I need all fuel injection crap or is there a b6 carburated swap? more to come, I am 43yrs old and I have loved these cars forever.
Welcome young one (I have a few years on you)! Add your location to your profile, you be pleasantly surprised to find other memebers in your area. Injected B6s will require the injected wiring, fuel delivery etc. Carbed B6s were available here in Canada at least as late as the '86 model year.
