What have you done to your Festiva today!?

[Oren09]

Bench tested my car alarm and door lock kit. The wiring diagram that came with the alarm was next to useless so I set it up on my floor to figure it out.

[Twistiva]

Last week: pulled 2 rear seat interior trim quarter-panels in nice shape. Dry and faded but very few nickes/gouges. :thumbs_up:

Today: called on some new wheels. Still. Aaargh!, searching for 15" wheels is tough, tough if you're picky about what you want. Sigh..... hmmmmmm

Oh, and I also dropped off the check today to the guy who painted my beloved "Twistiva" over the last 6 weeks. Gonna go pick it up on Saturday. Tons of rain here the last 2 days made his 100-yard long dirt driveway a mess and he and I both agreed it would be a crime to mess up my brand new paintjob with red Oklahoma mud. :nono:

I fixed a rear bearing issue on the left side of my silver 90.
Then I installed a Curtis hitch on the Team Lightning rescue vehicle. (My 98 Dakota).
Much better than the bumper mounted ball I was using.

My KYB GR-2s came in today. Not sure when I'll have time to through them and the FMS springs on it.



What should I do about the rusting issues with the springs? Talking with Fred and he mentioned sandblast and powdercoat...would the powdercoating hold up on the springs that are going to be compressing and moving a lot?

[Oren09]

Ignition parts, seals, and filters came in today for my new engine. Probably the fastest Rock Auto has ever shipped anything.
Still waiting on the clutch.
And I ordered a simple alarm and power lock kit. That should be in tomorrow.

Found out the transmission shop can't get the right axle out and won't continue until I can find another transmission in the event they break the case when they start frailing on it. Anyone know of a 5-speed in Winston-Salem, NC area? Help....:cry_smile:

Ummmm.... I already took the hood the last time I was there. I still have my old white one, but I bet it is in worse shape than yours. Thought you were looking at getting a fender, not a hood?

Thats cool, I need the drivers door more than the hood. I can find a hood another time.

The black shell was picked up today:

Man, that's a sad, sad end for a faithful Festiva.....:sad:

Enjoy Festiva heaven, my friend.....

The welder, this week, is replacing/fixing part of the right rear uniframe that has rusted bad where the axle is bolted on!

I'll post pictures of a before and after when he is finished.

I'm going to UPULL&PAY on Friday morning to hopefully get a drivers door and maybe the hood for my Festiva.

Almost got the b3 out today. So excited! The b6 is clean enough to eat off of, waiting not-so-patiently for me to drop it in

Htchbck has a lot of knowledge about the B6 swap. He helped me a lot with mine.

You now need a dome light dimmer.

[XFSE71]

redsigned the dome light assembly using a light switch plate as the base, installed a new switch to replace the self shorting fuse blowing stock unit.
