Re: What have you done to your Festiva today!?

Picked up 4 alloy Capri rims for 40 bucks today and a hvlp spray gun from harbor freight.

Ooh, the three-spoke kind? Pics!

I received my install plate in the mail:


I thought I'd show off my light upgrade as well:

I just picked up a nice white hood from Take-a-part to put in the parts stock. Send me a PM if you head up this way. I usually go down to Springfield OH for the International Harvester truck show in Sept. but thats along way off.

Ahh yes, I have seen the shop where at least 4 really good looking Harvesters sit out front there in Springfield, been by that shop many times. Honestly didn't know about the Harvester truck show.

But yeah, probably won't really have the money until after new year, and after I get my tax return.

That is how bad my hood is, and those vertical marks are not scratches, those are gouges.

Once I get some extra money I will be looking for a replacement hood in the southwestern Ohio area, preferably white or black, but I will take just about any color as long as it has no visible rust, serious dings and peeling paint/clearcoat. I will be willing to travel to eastern Indiana, Northern Kentucky, or around Columbus.

I added the LED panel to the dome light! MUCH BETTER

Next time, use a wet vac and a straw. A mouse pad will make a good seal.

Ehh, I found it easier to just drill a couple holes in the bottom, thing isn't the best shape anyway and the holes are hidden.

Also drilled some holes in the bottom of my driver's side parking lamp, damn thing kept accumulating water.

My ebay hubcap broke off on the highway yesterday, the ring and clips stayed on the wheel, but the rest shot off into the gaurdrail.

Popped em all off because it looks trashy to drive around without a complete set, and I am kinda glad to go back to the exposed steel rims with stock ford spindle nut caps.
Filled the tank with 89 octane, inflated the tires to 38psi, and cleaned off most of the bird crap. (Friggin' enormous flock of birds were hanging around my neighborhood the other day) There had to be at least two dozen spots of bird crap all over the car.
